Haha wow. Messi can do no wrong.
It is not his place to force the hand of the club to sack the manager. No player should do that.
Its pathetic. He is a player. He needs to get his head down and play not try to run the club.
Whether he is right or wrong is irrelevant.
This shows Messi loves the club just as much as the cules do and is doing whatever he can to save it.
The board obviously can't run the club and Lucho basically gifted Liga to Real Madrid with his non-sense. Time for him to go. He should have been immediately sacked after the game and the board at the very least should have an interim choice at the very least to finish the season. Just take a flier on whoever because it can't get any worse than benching Messi and Neymar at the Anoeta. It's unacceptable.
Messi is attempting to salvage the season if he can force Lucho out because the board doesn't have any courage to do it to themselves.
I'm sorry but that's utter nonsense. The day players decide on the coaches' fate will be the day football implodes. Half the players can't even tie their own shoelaces and you expect them to know which coach is good and which is not? Messi, or any other player for that matter, has no business in this stuff and regardless of who the coach is, disrespecting him and his decisions is entirely unacceptable.
People are blowing everything out of proportion simply because of some silly rumors.
It very well might be true that Messi doesn't like the situation at the club (nor should he) right now, but he hasn't done anything inappropriate. Choosing to follow which team is his own business, he also follows City. He can only be accused of bad timing, amid all other rumors and yesterday's bitter defeat, but nothing else/more.
