Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

You’re right...

The Catalan giants were alleged to have hired social media company I3 Ventures on a million-euro contract to create fake social media accounts to discredit people and players critical of Josep Maria Bartomeu and the rest of the Barcelona board. Messi was a victim of this, as well as Gerard Pique.

I don’t know anything about the intricacies of Spanish employment law but over here I’m pretty certain that would be a breach of contractual duty of care and would allow an employee to terminate with immediate effect

Whats the latest? Did they meet again or was that a load of bollocks?

Had a, shall we say, rather interesting exchange with someone on Twitter earlier who reckons a lot of the financial mess (pardon the pun) at Barcelona is Messi’s doing as he effectively runs the club and if you’re a player there who happens to be a mate of his then you’re quids in salary-wise. He literally claims Messi has all the power at the club as Bartomeu ceded it to him. I called bollocks because although I’ve no doubt he has a fair bit of influence there, there’s no way I can see any footballer - no matter how good - having such a sway at a club so big. A couple of snippets here and I’d be interested to hear what the likes of @FCBarca think of what this guy is saying:

The latter.

Tell the attention seeker if she wants to chat with you to do it on here. Wives!!! Incapable of thinking their way around a problem...
Obviously, warn her about "Rag" posts to begin with.

Fuck her, she’s gone off with her mum in a mood. More fool her when she realises I’m not buying her a Messi shirt.

I think the blackmail accusations are plainly false. The meeting yesterday was strictly between the two sides and their lawyers - neither side would have any interest in leaking this either...

Barca would also be finished as a club, and lose all interest from future signings, if it was found to be gathering and using blackmail materials on its star players. Think it would be suicidal

Ordinarily I would agree but the board of Bartomeu & Rosell have been more shady than shrewd

Confidentiality clauses at this high a level might explain why so little has been discussed publicly thus far. I am increasingly convinced Messi has lost all leverage over a series of events he set off from a position of power. A u-turn like that despite the potentially litigious legal route that loomed ahead would never happen so quickly unless there was an ace in the hole from Bartomeu

I cannot believe the legal headaches alone would kill the incentive knowing the way Bartomeu is - would be incredibly naive.

Do those 2 still face prosecution on the Neymar tax evasion fiddle or whatever it was, sorry not well up on it.
