Barça have sought advice and decided Saturday's are working days

Benedito had hoped to have until the beginning of October

Barcelona spokesman Josep Vives has announced the deadline for Agusti Benedito to get the required signatures for his vote of no confidence against the board: September 27. 

While the club had originally fought for September 19 -- Benedito suggested October 2 -- it's now been set for the end of the current month. 

Vives revealed that "an internationally recognised lawyer" considered Saturday to be a working day, but not Sunday. 

Another topic which came up was the club's opinion on Catalan independence. Vives said the club is in favour of a referendum, although wouldn't state whether the club are or are not in favour of independence.
