Articles already coming out putting the knife in Messi, just in case he arrives at City.
Nothing is guaranteed. Why some throw out these stupid one liners to try and justify their opinion is simply, stupid.Its a short term solution, but seeing whats happening this year and how many problems we have maybe an amount of problems that takes more than one window to fix, a short term solution to get you through that Period is pretty appealing to me. 25-30 goals for the next two years guaranteed, knows the style, allows us to rebuild whilst winning? Easy call for me.
Koeman in as manager?Such as.....
He won’t down toolsThe truth is that it's a bit of a grey area. There is a clause in his contract which allows him to leave the club on a free at the end of every season. However, the clause 'expires' at the end of May every year. With the way COVID stopped football for 3 months, the season has obviously gone long past May, but nobody really knows whether Barca and Messi have discussed this or if Barca would honour it in August. I'd imagine not, but who knows really. If he says I'm out, let me go or I'll down tools, what recourse does the board really have?
