Khaled yes, DonAK, no. DonAK jumped on Messi's boat immediately.
What evidence is there for any of your theory though?
It's total conjecture and saying "yeah this probably happened" because it goes with your Amigo theory.
It's very convoluted to say Messi is doing it as some secret power play to remove authority figures and keep his Amigos in power, as if Bartomeu was some scapegoat lol. Maybe he just hates Bartomeu, as he has clearly expressed on numerous occasions.
What endgame would it be for Messi if he was pulling all the strings in this way? To keep Amigos all as starters? Do you not think he was badly hurt by the 8-2 and that he's so massively blind as a human being and footballer that he can't see where his teammates have fallen off? Everyone else in the world is in on this secret except Messi? Likely not.
Regardless of whether Bartomeu stays or goes or Koeman stays or goes, the Amigos are largely done here as major players. Pique and Alba I could maybe see staying as starters because we don't have clear replacements on the table yet. I don't think any coach this "hitler Messi" would choose would change that fact, Xavi included.
Xavi badly wants to be a great manager. Since he left Barca he has given numerous supremely lengthy interviews, you can see his ambition and desire to be good. If he fails, it won't be for some stupidity as playing clearly horrible players for the sake of friendship lol.
