Ok now we are talking & they are getting behind the case too as i said this hurting FCB more than Messi, no superstar will trust the system in the future.

"for any damage that may be caused as a result of this publication"

What are they so scared about? People protesting in front of the Camp Nou? It's not like the Club hasn't fucked up in other aspects previously which are far more damaging than some player's contract. Just lol

Maybe futur signings or commercial shit who knows always stay wide when attacking someone then narrows it a bit after :D

He didn't deserve that kind of money, sadly the board are idiotic enough to to gave him that

I would say if there is any player in the world who would have desverved this money it would be Lionel Messi as this man was excellent in almost every fucking year ( maybe not 2013 and 2020) and was literally an one-man-army between 2016-2019.

Other than the discord it might sew within the club, I don't know what other damages this is going to cause from the club's perspective. Sure the leak is another piece of mounting artifacts lately that make the club look clumsy and poorly-managed (which everybody knows already), and the document itself shows the club bent over its knees to pay Messi. Other damages? I can't think of any.

That the club was badly run and that the club bent over its knees to pay Messi and now, unsurprisingly, is facing a financial crisis (with the huge wage structure being a major cause) is not bad enough?

Yes it is bad but none of this are new or anything people didn’t know.

I think there's a line between footballers trying to earn as much as possible as any person would and what Messi's contract looks like. I have no problem with Messi being the best paid player in the world each year since he started playing, he deserves that. If the current Messi was still the best paid player in the world, say a few million over Ronaldo, Lewa, etc. it wouldn't be a problem in my book. But the obscene numbers we're talking about here, I mean of course it's the boards fault for giving him that, no question about it. But on the other side, obviously his father was negotiating hard, I mean look at the 100m loyalty bonus and renewal fee for gods sake. I mean yeah sure be well paid, but this kind of looks like you're okay with squeezing every last cent out of the club if you can successfully negotiate. It just leaves a bit of a sour taste IMO.

Do you know Ronaldo's real numbers ?

We haven't gotten a leak of his contract but from pretty much every source that we've ever seen in the last 5-10 years since he came to Madrid, he's never been on anywhere near the kind of numbers we're talking about here. I mean it's possible that he is, but we haven't heard of it from any source afaik.
