I’m not sure, he’ll be the jewel in the crown of the PL and will make our league even more commercially attractive than it is now.
Also, there will be so much scrutiny on him that the refs will have to protect him.
I hope so anyway.

The ‘chosen’ premier league CEO will be wearing a paler shade of red in the office I reckon, if Messi comes

I think the fact they are in a mess and didn't win anything doesn't help. They need reinventing and face losing the a lot of their current generation in one go - Messi, Suarez, Pique, Vidal, even Griezeman may go.

That said, although it hurts horribly to watch them go, I will always be immensely proud of the way our club let David, Vinny and Pablo go, Sergio too in his time. True legends,could have done with keeping them another year arguably, but their commitment to the cause, the fact they literally changed our club into winners on the pitch, and have shown a huge love of the club and it's fans, means we let them walk away with all of our love and best wishes for the future, with yet more opportunity open to them once they leave us. And if they come back in some future role, then it will benefit us all.

Despite the hollow taunts from other supporters - not to mention the Intensely venal nature of modern football - our club almost invariably acts with decorum. In CAS’s case it was decorum in an iron glove.

I’m as proud of this as anything we achieve on the pitch.

If Messi believes he isn’t a Barcelona player and they fine him for not showing up that then can be challenged by Messi’s lawyers.

Bart and Barca are no longer paying him any wages as he is not a Barca player.

Why would they spend a single penny on him?
 
The one downside of this is that if he comes we're gonna have to start pretending to give a shit about the petulant Ronaldo-Messi debate that's raging on literally 24/7 between internet fanboys.

If,as is looking increasingly more likely,Messi follows his boyhood hero Dennis Tueart to play for Man City,I would think we must also be getting Pep for an extended period to match Messi’s contract length which I would think would be 3 years

Not been a good couple of months for the hateful 8 has it ?

I think he was more of the DIikov era as a fan, very similar players, small and tenacious and somewhat underrated.
Dickov was obviously wanted by more clubs though looking at his career path.

At least Newcastle, who also signed the letter have been taken over by wealthy investors and can sign the next Messi :)

The Messi of 33 simply can't score the goals that he scored as a 19 year old when he just raced past players. You have to acknowledge that. He is still a fantastic player though. See his goals and assists record from last season. He was once super human, but now he is an outstanding footballer who will add a great deal to City's attacking play.
