I'm calling bollocks on that "official" statement. Doesn't have the La Liga logo on it, it's not on their website or Twitter feed and, as you say, it's absolutely none of their business even if it is genuine.Absolutely nothing to do with La Liga, the fat wanker is just pissed off the Ronaldo and Messi are going to pastures new and the Spanish league isn't going to get the airtime.
This tells me its a done deal.
It’s on their Twitter and websiteI'm calling bollocks on that "official" statement. Doesn't have the La Liga logo on it, it's not on their website or Twitter feed and, as you say, it's absolutely none of their business even if it is genuine.
... and its all being paid as a result of a new sponsorship deal with Bullocks Coaches :OBollocks to that...I want us to come out and say we've paid £700 Million and are paying him £2 Million a week in wages. Let's ruin football for all the haters! ;)
Don’t worry, nothing will be withheld, press will ensure we’ve paid 750M, given him Beswick and the academy as a sweetener and pay him 2m per week with significant added bonus totalling a further 100m if he manages to score a single goal. So don’t worry we’ll get all the facts in time ;)I really hope we don't announce it as he's signed for an undisclosed fee and withhold all terms of the deal.
Whilst that might be the norm with big deals it's just gonna constantly fuel rumours that we've paid a fortune for him and rumours about 2m a week in wages and city ruining football again..
Hopefully they at least disvlise enough so the media cannot run wild with their conspiracies and shit stirring.
I was looking on their English language ones. But it's still fuck all to do with them as they aren't parties to the contract. If Barca & Messi agree he can go, clause or no clause, they have to issue the transfer certificate.It’s on their Twitter and website
well that's fucking madness, do wonder where that leaves us!

Yeah Im pretty sure the Webster ruling would take precedence over a Spanish decree dating from 1985I found this.

Translate:
In relation to the different interpretations (some of them contradictory among themselves) published in the last days in different media, related to the contractual situation of the player Lionel Andrés Messi with FC Barcelona, LaLiga considers it convenient to clarify that, once the contract of the player with his club has been analyzed:
The contract is currently in force and has a "termination clause" applicable in the event that Lionel Andrés Messi decides to urge the early unilateral termination of the contract, carried out in accordance with Article 16 of Royal Decree 1006/1985, of June 26, 1985, which regulates the special employment relationship of professional sportsmen. In compliance with the applicable regulations, and following the procedure that corresponds in these cases, La Liga will not carry out the procedure of previous visa of federative discharge to the player if he has not paid previously the amount of this clause.
Exactly. This is only going to piss Messi off even more. It's like KDB being told by the premier league he can't transfer anywhere because the chairman of the league doesn't want him leaving.There must be some real insecurity for Tebas to lash out lack that. Better for us because it clearly pushes Messi further away from Barca & La Liga.

Absolutely nothing to do with La Liga who leaves or comes to their league.
I could see thatDifference is our league chairman would like nothing more than to see city sell KDB and get an inferior replacement
Doesn't the Webster ruling only apply if the club holding the player's registration refused to play him?Yeah Im pretty sure the Webster ruling would take precedence over a Spanish decree dating from 1985
