The way this is playing out seems to be

1. Messi is super reasonable and wants to leave on decent terms for the good of the club and fans
2. Bart is a sociopath and wants to burn everything on his way out
3. Messi will arrive at City with his legacy fully in tact
4. City win the CL against Barca in the final 2021

Almost had me at number three.
Completely lost me at number four.

This should be renamed the "car crash forum", whilst browsing Bluemoon you know you shouldn't have a little peek at a few threads in here but you do and then afterwards wish you hadn't.

I think everyone should cool their jets, no info will be leaked about this deal until it's official one way or another, everyone's guessing, I know it's an exciting thought but my bottle is firmly on ice until I see him lifting that shirt.

Anyway in other news there's a confirmed new signing starting for Spain tonight which is worth a watch.....have a good evening!

Not looking forward to him lifting the shirt in particular, but no problem for those who are.

Wearing it would be good though.
 
I get the sense that there is enough mutual respect between the Messi camp and the City hierarchy that he's not going to blindside Pep & Co with a surprise "I'm staying" announcement. If he does decide to stay I would think he would let us know prior to that and pessimistic reports would then start to emerge out from our side to distance the club from the situation. Until that happens I doubt anything has materially changed.

Interesting postulation on the other thread that Barça have something on Jorge over the running of the foundation. Could be bollox of course but if not...

(Not sure why we keep up the presence of two separate threads.)

This isn’t the place to be talking sense like that

To be fair the forum would have really benefited from separate threads for the Muffin and Barm brigades

When you've worked with each other for so many years I bet both sides have some seriously interesting info on the other..

Can someone with a bit of legal expertise help me?

I've read loads of similar articles that state that FIFA approved the temporary extension of all player contracts due to expire in 2020 so that players could still compete in the delayed final matches of a season.

Now whilst I realise Messi's contract didn't expire in June 2020, it is claimed that Messi had a clause that said he could unilaterally terminate his contract and he could leave for free should he notify the club by June 10.

Given that a footballers contract is geared around the season dates, why wouldn't the associated clauses move with it too?

It should, the season was extended so the end is whenever it finished, this is what messi thinks and it makes sense, it might need a judge to say a pandemic changes the date is resonable, it is to us normal people
