One of the best articles on the matter.

ok you can find on the web 1000 articles which do not mention this matter.. are simply opinions, not facts.
For me the power of Messi in the club is overrated.

A badly written article that is based on the vague "I have spoke to people" is one of the best articles?

For me, it's probably even worse than it has surfaced. A lot of it is probably still being kept secret, since these things when they come out are very damaging for the club. These are just those that transpired. I wouldn't be surprised to hear crazy stuff in 10-15 years. Like the news said today by Roberto Carlos with the shit they did during their Galactico days.

One question, would Puyol or Xavi have behaved like this if they were the current captains no matter how much they disagreed with the board? That's a difference between real club legends and real captains and mercenaries.

Yes, it is. Reputable source (Not Daily Mirror, Don Balon or something) and offers some pretty specific information. And it checks out, being corroborated by what we know from other sources.

Only to be clear 100%: it's only my opinion and i hope I am right.
But honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if you were right, I'm certainly not that naive, just see what's happening in the world every day....

A-Xavi challenged the coach in the worst way a player here had in the last 2 decades
B-Xavi always got it his way during his time here
C-During his time here, the board didn't turn against players, scapegoating them in the media etc.
D-Xavi basically went against board by being Font puppet while declining their job offer, which brings us to next point.
E-Xavi has a post-retirements aspiration with 1st team, so he will have to suck it and never goes against them publicly for his future career, just hints. This is why players like Pique & Busquets will never go against the board, and most likely will be easy to move once the board tells them to do so.
F-Puyol has done something relatively similar on twitter, may be not as a player. But it still shows how much the players despise the board. When you have Messi, Suarez, Puyol, Cesc all publicly against the board, there is something there.

ESPN is barely reputable tbh.
And 90% of the article is opinion based and guy interpreting things to suit his argument.
May be if we see his book, read direct quotes and know hwo is saying what we can take it seriously. But the written words in it is on Don Balon level.

True. It's the tough times when he was supposed to step up, not bitch about Suarez leaving.

Spot on. The club also donated them insane contracts. They were taken care of too well and got spoiled.
This is like wake up call to reality for them.

I sadly agree with this. No expectations for this season. I hope Messi won't cause more trouble.
