His legacy is very tainted after a three peat of CL humiliations. I'm not entirely sure how kind history will be to him. If he can manage to win one more CL (either with our club or another), he will be above CR7.

Sarcasm? Gomes and Turan turned out to be duds but he was still a good coach. Turan just gave up and admitted he came to Barca for vacation and less training.

This club will lose a lot of fans, and in turn sponsorship money, in the next few years.

Can confirm. Posted on the Official FC Barcelona facebook

This is just insane, afaik sporting director salaries are not that high. We are finished as a club. Our rebuild is delayed too due to Barto staying. I'm expecting at least 4 years of misery for this club, with amigos getting phased out, Barto leaving, and new coach integrating the youth. We...

Good points, but one thing that needs to be mentioned are the cultural differences between the nations of the two clubs. Your board has always quickly recognized mishaps and tried their best to correct them. Our board and in general, Catalan culture, are not as proactive as German. The club...

He wouldn't. It would hurt Messi's feelings

Barto easily. With a strict board like Bayern’s, heck even the sheiks, there would be no amigos. They would start cleaning out the amigos after the Roma debacle

Hahaha wtf is that :lol: show sportsmanship by scoring less goals? Wtf is this? The top Sunday league team playing against the new team of the town :lol:

Its also a matter of self discipline. Athletes like Puyol and Xavi greatly emphasized fitness, even training on their own time. I highly doubt Messi, Suarez, and Busquets value training outside of Barca and their respective NT?s.

I trust Messigician more than MD

It's a very tough decision on Bartomeu's part. If he gets rid of amigos and calls Messi's bluff, then he will go down as the president that destroyed Messi's last five years at Barca. If he just leaves and let the next president take care of it, he will look like the victim and all the blame...

This, exactly this. This could be a bigger political shitshow than this forum thought. Huge drama in the club. Very high chance that Bartomeu could look like the victim in all of this mess.

No European club will buy Suarez and Rakitić due to their high wages. Both of them would not willingly go to MLS or China either

I feel this way too, let's see how the next week or two play out. Changes need to be made quickly since next season is starting September 12th. New board accepting Messi's demands will make Bartomeu the winner out of all of this. Hilarious really, this entire forum blaming him for everything in...

He's a delusional moron if he thinks his Amigos will stay with a new board.

Him going to be PSG would be stupid. They would walk Ligue 1 even more and anything below a CL finals spot would be a massive disappointment for a squad like that. It would be RM Galacticos of 2000's on steroids. Best career choice would be Inter. It would renew the CR7 vs Messi rivalry. If he...

No chance. I'm willing to bet that a big reason other amigos are staying is because he vouched for them. Without Messi there is no one disturbing the coach or the board from making squad selections.

I would personally love him to go to another team, just as a fan to see how he adapts to another league and other players and to also see if he can improve that team massively. It will also be good for our rebuilding phase. Messi leaving would surely make it easier for other Amigos to leave...

One thing that I'm curious about is how Messi can play in a system in other top teams or CL group stage teams (City, PSG, Man U, Inter, Napoli, etc.). These teams have basically all adapted to the modern game (pressing, physicality, no one player walking around). Could these teams offer Messi...
