Exactly. I imagine they his team will also have negotiated a deal with a club, and reassured the club exactly on how much they would need to spend. Why leave anything to chance?I would've thought Messi's lawyers would've already made sure that he will be able to terminate his contract before giving the go ahead to contact Barca, if not then they're shit lawyers.

Yep, we can kiss goodbye to the overwhelmingly positive coverage we have recieved since the takeover.I also hope blues are prepared for the tsunami of spite and bile that will come with the transfer should it occur.

This could go to court and therefore no certainty.
All depends on Covid related contract stuff. I can see how its a grey area. Most things work to hard dates. The Covid delay to the season screwed those dates so he couldnt leave when his contract allowed, does the contract allow for that (it no doubt has some provisions for dates moving and seasons ending later than expected etc? IT is likely pretty clear in his favour but even if not then it would go to court and i still see it as a simple case and I think he wins. General legal priciple is if something was not set out in a contract then what is teh evidence of intention. The intention of the date is that it is the end of the season allowing a move in close season. Court would rule he can serve his letter in the close season even though its after the specified date. It's a lottery going to court but I think the odds are 90% in his favour here as the intention of the cluase will be clear.

I think we’ll cope quite well, but thanks for the concern anyhow.Financially is a huge win.
On the pitch in dubious.
Having been told the numerous stories about Marsh by my old man I'm just feeling a bit reticent.

Rodney Marsh was never the best player in the world, so we'll leave that at that.
Transfer bile? We've put up with all that bollocks for 12 years so I don't think we'd give a fuck tbh.

Tbh I expect the opposite. Suddenly we'll be clickbait and the media will favour City.

Mate I'm sorry but come on, I don't think the comparison with Rodney Marsh holds up?! I've never heard him mentioned in conversations about the greatest player who ever lived. Checking out his career stats he never delivered in the top flight for anyone even before signing for City. Messi by contrast ...
As for spite and bile, we're used to it.

FWIW I think we agreed a deal for Messi ages ago and personally I think he will join us. It’s a complete no brainier. It’s a massive coup for us and for Messi to be reunited with Pep again. The whole of London, Stretford and Liverpool (not Everton) will be shaking like shitting dogs, hoping and praying that he doesn’t join us, because they’ll know that if we have him, then we will become devastating in front of goal and win the league at a canter.
