Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

487m losses even over the new temporary four year ffp monitoring period unless they sell half there squad they will fail ffp

FFP has effectively been suspended because of COVID. So these numbers will not impact them from a UEFA FFP perspective. La Liga has its own FFP type rules and they are not being given a pass on the forward looking wage bill v's income rule. It is a situation that could be resolved within the Spanish system but it it clearly isn't getting sorted.

But FFP and Spanish league rules are slightly beside the point. They have been living beyond their means for years and covid has only brought forward the inevitable. As i said yesterday and have been saying for months they are fecked! This needed to happen.

@tolmie's hairdoo did say recently that the deal was still on the table for Messi.

Laporta press conference is finished. Messi has gone or that's one of the best pieces of political posturing I've ever seen.

Laporta just been asked does he know who the other offers are from - obviously wouldn't answer but did say Barca couldn't match the money being offered by other clubs.

The plural of "offers" and "clubs" means there's more than just PSG. Wonder who else, I reckon his dads phone is on absolute fire this morning

If Curzon Ashton went in for him, Barca couldn’t match the offer.
Quite unbelievable the position they are in.

just watched the conference. Laporta confirmed there’s no going back. This is a two horse race now.

If City do sign Messi we need to make sure the books are squeaky clean. Email encrypted and passwords changed;)

The cartel will come at us again.

The 2 years make sense as that is what Pep currently has left. Question is, is this a new offer of the one left on the table?

Losses for the season will be €487m. I thought FFP was to help big clubs not be in this position?

They should have been more careful of what they wished for.
