There's a big difference to how Bayern was to the Barcelona of now. They didn't have a ton of debt.... and they were building a young side. They never got destroyed 8-2.... and they certainly didn't throw a 3 goal lead twice in the Champions League. Our decline has been falling for years. All Bayern needed last season was 1 or 2 players and a good coach. They have that now. Barcelona is so far behind that. We have no money to rebuild. We don't have a young side. We don't have a coach to get us to the top level. And our squad simply isn't good enough..... 1 or 2 players won't be enough.
Why should Messi waste his final years playing in a struggling and a building Barcelona? He may as well play for a midtable team if he wants to struggle. And we won't be able to rebuild properly whilst Messi is here. We simply do not have the money to have a squad to compete at the highest level. It's going to take years for the new board to sort this mess out.
Excellent.
Messi makes no sense for Barca now, he realises it & it saves a lot of money to let him go. Easily the best thing for both sides, to make a clean break & start again.
