Yeah, if the statement's true and we can't register Messi because of high earners like Coutinho, Dembele, Pique and similar... it's sad. And it'd be funny if it wasn't sad.

But it's not the end of the world. Keeping Messi was ne er sorting out Barca's future. We'd be just bellow the level required to win but unable to make moves due to the salary cap.

Barca must react quick and focus on releasing underperformers. It's not all dim.

If it was as easy as just releasing them would have been done long before now.

In the world of UEFA suspending fairplay rules Tebes makes up a crippling Salary cap and brokers the worst deal in history.

You're attacking the wrong people dawgs

Tebas didn't make it up all of sudden, it has been in force since 2013. Tebas' biggest fault is he refused to relax or relent it for another season (as he did for the 20/21 season).

In the end it is Tebas' stubbornness and ego that has led to Messi's departure and the league possibly getting crippled.

What is a Man Utd period? No titles in 7/8 years and falling outside top 4 at times?

The biggest shock will be this season and that's when I wager we might even finish outside top 4(even if it's hard) . Otherwise yes, not title challenge for at least 3 years, maybe more. Maybe not like Man Utd as they have better competition, but similar.

Not debating that. But the whole situation is pretty bad for us squad wise. Some Man Utd kind of period will probably follow

The problem, or good thing, is that not a lot of clubs can surpass us compared to United at PL. At worst we'll finish 3rd. Finances should hopefully recover soon so the rebuild can keep going.

It's not about pay cuts.

Messi could play for free and we can't register him or new signings.

Issue is Tebes, the CVC deal was financial **** and the salary cap is a gunshot to kneecaps

The issue is the club being run by clowns. They knew the rules, they rook massive risks, and now chickens are coming home to roost.

Why Frenkie?

there is more than enough dead weights for Frenkie to stay out this mess.

Frenkie knows he has future at the club. Rest of bums trying to extract as much as they can because they know they can kiss millions goodbye post Barca.

It isn't he will relent Calma.

Focus on the transfers then.

any more of this "I only want to return to ATM", "I only want a top club with the same pay", put them in the stands for the remainder of their contracts should bend their knees.

Barca won't be winning shit anyways.

Laporta probably put everything into this deal. There's no possible route for him being able to reg Messi and the signings otherwise so it was probably way worse than he expected. Lesson, don't put all your eggs in one basket, that's not a way to run a massive multi billion dollar club
