    Lionel Messi - v7

    Since you repeat people are saying Barcelona has ruined FFP, i looked at Bluemmon because you said those were the ones making that claim. Their thought process is that with the losses Bar?a incurred, they would never pass the traditional 4 (3+1 due to Covid) year long monitoring. Hence why, FFP...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Those clubs are rich and have history because they started spending more earlier. I have even posted an article in another thread about how Madrid poached Raymond Kopa from Reims by giving him 6 times his wages. He was hailed as the first football business player. It is several decades ago and...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    All of that is just personal thinking, i'm talking about the numbers. If you criticize City and PSG spending, you have to do the same with MU. Otherwise, you are not angry about money ruining football but who is spending that money.

    I'm only stating backstabbing from his perspective. For UEFA and national leagues leaders, those clubs are traitors. I was for a Super League originally but not the way it was set up. I don't like the founding members benefits : more money, guaranteed spot. Even more when some clubs are giving...

    Figures will be similar. So, why is it that MU expenditure don't bother you ? Is it because it is not an oil club/state run club ?

    He was only willing if he was able to thwart their backstabbing way by binding them with CVC contract.

    According to the Deloitte Football Money League 2021, MU is making 580 and PSG 540 millions.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Yes, within its rights. He doesn't have to make an exception for Bar?a. Bar?a wanted to find a compromise, he made an offer, Bar?a refused. He is the boss of La Liga and he feels Super League threatens his organization and its product. He would be a fool not to try and take advantage of the...

    Why you don't say MU ?

    Lionel Messi - v7

    It is because Bar?a have been butting head with PSG on the market. They wanted TS and Marquinhos who ended up at PSG. They wanted Verratti. PSG took Neymar and soon Messi. City and Chelsea are not competing for the same targets with Bar?a. Hence why they don't care if they spend 115 millions on...

    It was. Hence why PSG had to loan shit guys after shit guys. Now that FFP have been relaxed, PSG can obviously invest more. There is a big difference with real accounting which is what DNCG is based on and FFP. You are allowed to invest in your company in real market. FFP prevents owners from...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I know you are just jesting but "budget pr?visionnel" has a purposeful meaning. It is not a binding budget but just what you expect it to be. Then, if you happen to chance on a 222 millions euros purchase of a brazilian, you have just to give the necessary documents proving you have the money to...

    We are still behind our friends from UAE in term of spending, it is fine.

    I dunno mate but that sudden reunion in that particular climate shows they aren't going to just watch. They want to dominate the market and they are just bystanders now. Unacceptable.

    Lol, it was obvious Messi had left because he liked his pocket a bit too much.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    It is a blackmail yes but within its rights. La Liga regulations mean that Bar?a couldn't sign Messi. Only if he was willing to make a special exception, which is linked with CVC signing, would Bar?a be able to renew Messi. Beggars aren't choosers. However, i think there will be something...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Well, every player gets a signing on fee. Be it a transfer, a renewal or a "free" transfer. Whether we have high earners or not, it matters only to the DNCG. As long as PSG or its owners provide the necessary financial guarantees, there is no one who can stop anything. At most, if a sanction...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    By the time it amounts to anything, Messi will have already retire lmao. Bar?a and Neymar are yet to settle their disputes. Also, remember that PSG is a french club working under french regulations. PSG is following DNCG regulations, so nothing to see with Messi employment.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    He is known in France. He is pretty good. Not sure he is up to the task against the biggest interests (supra national) though. Also, it is hard to condemn PSG for signing Messi on a free transfer. Since PSG is apparently only paying Messi 25 millions net, it is pretty cheap "officially". Messi...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I don't want him to wait. Obviously, i welcome any player to join as soon as possible. I'm just saying that we have been served with the narrative of him being shocked, devastated, not even being able to think about where he will be going now. Instead, in 24 h, they had basically agreed with...
