Lionel Messi - v7

[Stoichkov1]

Based on what?

Barto resigning doesn't mean a new board immediately comes in, there'll be an interim president under the same board. Election process won't happen till like November earliest. And by that time whoever comes in won't be easily able to pull a Pep or Xavi out of contract.

Koeman will likely at least get a year out of respect for him as a legend and recognition that this is a season for restructuring, transitioning, and just making forward thinking decisions and ideas. Frankly it's a good thing to have a temporary coach who is willing to wield authority like that, wipe the slate relatively clean before a real long term project guy comes in and creates a new culture.

With Barto gone who do you think will support Koeman in his decision to get rid of the amigos? Absolutely no one. Maybe he will stay, but we will see the same shit again with Messi and Suarez walking for 90 mins and getting trashed again in CL.

If City give us De Bruyne + 40 million, I would accept that.

Even just De Bruyne would be a great deal for Barca.

They're not so stupid.

 

[kattanib]

You think Messi is doing all this cause he has a problem with Koeman in charge? lol

So your theory is that Messi will leave even if Barto resigns right? Will you still defend Messi if Suarez is here next year and so is Messi and we have a new manager and president?

Messi's decision does not surprise the Bar?a locker room. They were aware of his desire to leave right after the Bayern debacle. [espn via @Elwood_White]

Why would they lol, we have no leverage here

 

[Sultan]

Would KDP even want to come to Barca now?

 

[te amo barca]

He won't even leave , i knew it from the start.


Don't know what all of you are panicking for

He has to leave 100% after what he pulled off today. No excuses. Thank him for taking Bartomeu out 6 months early but he can't "change his mind" and stay after this.

Then Koeman will get in the dirt as well. No. Any manager has the right to make his own plans and bear the responsibility regarding the success of failure of that plan.

Right now, Koeman's position is impeccable.

Messi is studying Manchester City?s offer. He has already been in contact with Pep. City are willing to pay a large sum and potentially include Gabriel Jesus in the deal. [@gerardromero via @ActualiteBarca]

More pressure good good

Messi contemplates Manchester City's offer. They have already spoken to him. [RAC1]

Please Pep, save us!

Time for bed. Bartomeu won't resign tonight. Nothing of substance will be communicated tonight. See you tomorrow.

See, koeman talk just confirmed it. It was already on his mind. If its about wanting a sporting project the 8-2 already was the final straw.
You think he wants to go t rough that again?

Legit best option for all.

For this to have any hope of being true, he needs to keep his decision to leave.

If he keeps his decision to leave, then fair enough. Not a crime to want out, even if it's disappointing from the captain. If he uses that to make changes in the team that suit him and his friends, then it's inexcusable.

Finally, a good source. Pep is forever a cule
