Bartomeu’s resignation ‘likely’ to extend Messi’s future at Barcelona

Josep Maria Bartomeu steps down The headline news in the footballing world on Tuesday was, of course, that Josep Maria Bartomeu had stepped down from his role as Barcelona president. Bartomeu took up said position in 2014, but it is fair to say the club’s fortunes haven’t exactly been superb since. A case could certainly be made that Barca’s last decent transfer window came all the way back in 2014, with a good chunk of change wasted on players since. The Blaugrana have also been fairly poor in Europe, last winning the Champions League back in 2015. For the most part, the club has been carried by star man Lionel Messi over the last several years. But it does look to have been Messi’s issues which were the final straw for Bartomeu. On the back of the club’s humiliating 8-2 loss in the Champions League vs Bayern, Lionel Messi tried to depart  over the summer. However, after weeks of speculation, the Argentine, somewhat reluctantly, opted to remain at the Camp Nou. But when a...

Karan Johar led Dharma Productions issued showcause notice for littering in Goa during shoot of Deepika Padukone's next

The recent past has not been rather kind to the film industry, with film production grinding to a halt. It is only now that shooting has resumed. Though the shoot of films has resumed, albeit on a rather low key, we hear that the Karan Johar led production house Dharma Production has run into some turbulence. In fact, reports state that the Entertainment Society of Goa has issued a showcause notice to Dharma for apparently littering a location where they were shooting.
