So Bartomeu leaves.... then what? What can possibly happen now that he's gone? What is a new board going to do about all that debt and players who are on big salaries coming to the end of their career?

This is why getting Bartomeu out now makes no sense at all. We can't even change things even if we wanted to. If we keep the same squad and lose Koeman after all of this, I'm done for the season. It's a fucking joke at this point.

Why weren't these idiots outside when we lost 8-2? Why do they care now? Messi will retire in 3 or 4 years anyway, so it's not going to make much difference if he leaves today or 3 years from now on. We're not going to win anything any time soon regardless, especially the Champions League. Our...

But what is this going to accomplish? Even if Bartomeu has gone by tomorrow, it still won't change our current situation. If anything, it'll probably make it worse. We'll probably keep all the amigos, and Messi and Koeman will be too busy bitching at one another. Bringing in a new board and...

Do you really think this board cares if Messi leaves or not? This is the same board that has been overspending on overrated players for years. This is the same board that keeps bringing in average managers. This is the same board who didn't give a shit when we blew 2 3 goal leads in the...

That's what I don't get it. Bartomeu is out of here in 8 months anyway, so Messi doing this makes no sense at all. Even if we get a new board tomorrow, they still won't have money to rebuild properly anyway. What can a new board do differently? There's no guarantees the new board will be any...

I doubt we'd even sack Koeman after this anyway. It would just be in bad taste and shockingly disrespectful. And there's no way Messi plays under Koeman after what's happened.

We're still going to be in the shit even if Bartomeu leaves. This is kinda pointless because we can't rebuild properly even if we wanted to. And Bartomeu is gone in 8 months anyway. What can Messi expect to happen even if Bartomeu leaves tonight? We'd have to buyout Koeman's contract.... we...

This is just a clusterfuck. We're now going to buyout Koeman's contract. I don't get what Messi is trying to accomplish here. Even if Bartomeu leaves, we have no money to change the team. Regardless of what board comes in, we're never going to compete at the top level for a while...... most...

Maybe Bartomeu was there but the other board members weren't? It's entirely possible. I doubt Bartomeu resigns regardless. They've probably known for a few days that it was possible Messi might leave.

Then he should have done this 2 years ago. We're in a big mess right now. Our squad is too old and average. We have no money to rebuild. This is the worst time to force out the manager, the board, and try to save his buddies. If he wants to leave, he should just leave. Why would the board...

Yeah.... if Messi stays after all this, especially if he gets Koeman and Barto out of the club, whilst keeping Suarez, I don't think anyone can defend him anymore. It would mean he's bigger than the club and whatever he says goes. And you're talking to someone who literally defends Messi.

He's not going to resign. He'll have to pay money from his own pockets to leave. I love Messi and all.... but if all the board leaves, Koeman leaves and we keep Suarez, this will be the biggest joke in football history. You're basically giving up all your power to a player, who only has 1 year...

This is all pointless anyway. Even if Bartomeu leaves, I doubt Messi will stay. We're in a mess. We have no money to rebuild properly. Messi is not going to win another Champions League with Barcelona ever again. And I doubt he likes Koeman to begin with. He's gone.

Whatever debt there is right now.... which is a lot.

They cannot do elections right now. lol

Jesus, don't people get it? Bartomeu cannot resign. He would have to take up the debt from his own pockets. It's not going to happen. Besides, I think Messi wants to leave regardless who the board is. I don't think he likes Koeman.... and he knows the squad isn't good enough to compete at the top.

He can't resign. And he's not going to resign anyway. And if he did resign, the squad would still be the same next season. We would not win anything. We have no money to rebuild.

Bartomeu can't leave anyway. The board would have to take on the debt. We're stuck with him till June regardless if Messi leaves or not. It Barcelona take Messi to court, then there's no way back. Messi is gone.

I doubt that's true.
