Polo is a mouthpiece for Bartomeu and it's already known Koeman is Barto's preferred choice. There are hurdles to overcome in his appointment, not the least what it does to KNVB & Dutch NT ahead of Euro 2021 - he'd still have to negotiate his release while leaving them adrift. Plus, there is no real security in his appointment as I would imagine Ron would want at least 2 year guarantee - with elections pending, there's no guarantee of that. Looks official though

His appointment is a political one, it addresses nothing and certainly will not placate Leo or fans who will see Bartomeu continuing to make one bad decision after another with no legitimate sporting plan in place. If elections are indeed not called or moved forward the club loses this season & the next for any real change and that effectively determines Leo's fate. Barto stays, Leo leaves and he will not wait until next summer

I think we will hear from Messi's entourage soon in light of decisions taken today

This Bartomeu guy is apparently staying on and NOT calling for Election.


Too much politics for a football forum :)

If Ronald does get a very nice contract from Barca it wouldn’t bother him too much if he’s binned once the new regime enters ,as he will get a nice payout I assume. What a mess for Barcelona as everything feels stuck in time until the current top brass step aside which it doesn’t seem they want to.

Haven't you predicted Messis departure every summer since 2014

The thing is, Koeman is not short of cash, he's always going to be in the hat for Barca manager because they're obsessed with having ex-players doing it and he's a club legend.

So why abandon a really good project with the Netherlands, where you're one of the favourites for Euro 2021, to go to Barcelona for 1 year?

Especially as the Barcelona job will almost definitely be open again in 12 months time after the election, and a good showing at Euros would put him in pole position.

Good points yeah what could he of possibly been promised when he knows the people making the promises will not be around for long. He’s better let some other mug take the poisoned chalice for a year.

Predicted it once before, and he renewed

Personally I think it’s a slim to nothing chance that he is leaving at all, ever. And amongst all the speculative smoke due to Barca not being in a great place - nothing is changing

On the plus side if he did join city the Kun extension would be signed for sure.

Talk of Messi coming in upsetting the likes of KDB and Sterling - have you considered that they may actually be incredibly excited to play with the finest football player that there has ever been rather than being miffed that he's being paid more than them?

IF MESSI IS AVAILABLE, u get him.

There is simply NO Argument needed.

Reading from Trump's playbook, Bartomeu is citing COVID concerns over not calling earlier elections - setting March 2021 for 'early' elections. It means this season is lost with Bartomeu's continuity

For all intents & purposes, I expect to hear/read about the pending exit of Messi in the coming days via the player or his entourage
