Exactly.

Messi changes everything, not just now, but for the future and puts City front, left and center for the next Messi.

Revenue wise we will be the biggest club in world football within a few years.

Yes. I didn't see where City were really going with the City football group, or to what end the partners with US and Chinese Media Capital meant. Suddenly it looks like a plan.

Hopefully the plan comes to fruition. That CAS hearing really was pivotal.
 
If Barca hold firm and refuse to negotiate it surely goes to court. Can't see us signing him for this season if that happens.
Thats a bad situation as a 34 year old messi signing for us doesn't have the same effect. Certain parts of the media are already saying he's past it and he has only just turned 33
 
Not expecting any positive news from the meeting between Barca and Messi’s dad. Just feel Barca will play hard ball and this will drag on until the end of the month. Hopefully I’ll be surprised.

if Barça refuse then FIFA sort the paperwork, he joins, and then it goes to court which could take years. Meanwhile he plays for Coty, they can’t stop him playing unless they break his legs.

We can sign him if FIFA approve it.. Messi’s camp were submitting papers last week weren’t they?

Just catching up with last nights, bun fight about the legality of how we would pay him.

Who fucking cares? Who on here has the first clue as to our finances, advice from lawyers etc?

At what point does Khaldoon and Ferran get cut the slack they have earnt and deserve?

All the flapping over how we will pay for him.... ? 1) Our Board are no bodies fools - they clearly have a plan and it has been in place for some time - its not just been drawn on the back of a fag packet. 2) Having been legged over by UEFA twice I think we just might have gone to the lengths of testing whether our plan to cover Messi's transfer and wages is FFP compliant - we will expect a shit storm and very close scrutiny. Tabas for one will go running to UEFA as will Barca to know where we got the money from and is it compliant etc... and that's before the Hateful 8,9, or is it 19? start kicking off like a load of jealous teenagers. City will have this in hand and we will be compliant - but that doesn't mean there won't be noise, it doesn't mean there wont be made up stories and allegations and calls for investigations and bans etc.... its just a pity that us blues cant stick together a bit more and enjoy this and be confident in those that steer the ship that we are honest, respect the law and comply with the rules...
 
Are there any quarantine rules coming from Argentina into Spain? Let’s hope he doesn’t have to sit in a hotel for 2 weeks!
