Salary reduction on paper is much easier than real life. Nobody wants our garbage for their salaries, which Barto gave them..
Laporta always said the financial situation was much worse than he expected. He thought Tebas would do the right and smart thing and let Barca register Messi. French League gave PSG chance to sign Messi..
Any reasonable league would. Look at the affect Messj had in Paris already. I blame the most Tebas.
Tebas had insane restrictions which would destroy Barca in the short run.
Laporta did the right thing long-term but losing Messi short term sucks. There was no smart option for keeping Messi, unless Tebas did the right thing but he is an idiot.
Then why Laporta followed Perez to wage a war against LL and Tebas, and still hoping Tebas will do him a favor ?
Two possible answers : 1. he is dumb 2. he is really dumb
Tebas knew Messi will be out in 2-3 years anyway so if it's now he will stick it to one of Perez followers, he did not hesitate.
And he is still not finished with the CVC as everything point to him enforcing the deal.
Perez exploring some dumb shit like playing for PL ala FCB with Barto who explored playing for the French League for different reasons.
