Bartomeu and his board made a lot of wrong decisions, but finally trying to clean the club from the likes of Suarez and limiting the power of the players isn't one of them. Interestingly Messi suddenly realizes the lack of "sporting projec" now! So what is this "sporting project" Messi wants? Suarez and the amigos staying and hiring Valverde as manager again? No player should have as much power at a club as Messi had, no matter how good he is. The players having so much power, together with the incompetence of the board is what has lead to the Situation the club is in now.
The problem is Barto left it too late...
If Messi can be blamed for anything it's that he:
-supported Valverde
-supported amigos
Both reached the point of toxicity but Barto and his goons should have never let it reach that point in the first place.
-Valverde should have been sacked after Liverpool (Personally think he should have gone after Roma but he did have a domestic double to his name)
-Rakitic, Suarez, Busi, Alba should have all been phased out or put in the process of being phased out 2-3 years ago.
This is on Barto dawg.
