Absolutely, they seem like a decent set of fans.Got to hand it to the Barca fans - they must absolutely love Messi and to support his departure must be tough. Now that is worthy of respect!
That’s really interesting, assuming the numbers are representative and considering Barca is effectively ran by the fans this should result in a positive outcome.There’s a poll on the barcacentre twitter.

88% say Barca should help to facilitate his exit
If he has a clause in his contract that he can leave for free, why would he commit fraud?What's stopping messi from retiring, right this moment and then unretiring in a week?

Messi told them he wants to leave and his reasons for wanting to are justified. The simple point i'm making is that they've reacted to his request without any class.We respected his decision because the club knew in their hearts he was done.
The point is Barca would never have dreamed Messi would go to a serious rival at the end of his career, IF he was off to the MLS or China, I am sure there would be little fuss.
Barca and the board see an opportunity to make some money out of him in terms of a fee, but the president has already publicly stated he could leave for free this summer, so what were seeing is all political to save face.
Same reason *name removed, to prevent for libel* does it.If he has a clause in his contract that he can leave for free, why would he commit fraud?
My understanding is as long as he declares he wants to leave 2 weeks after the season has ended and he has served 2 years of the current contract as he is over 28 then he can chose which season will be his lastSurely Messi could have invoked the Webster ruling last year being over 28 when he signed his new contract? Can’t players 28 and older invoke it after 2 years?
They have watched him for 20 years, he's given them everything and they have seen him at his best.Got to hand it to the Barca fans - they must absolutely love Messi and to support his departure must be tough. Now that is worthy of respect!
The clause he would need to activate in his contract to retire is the same clause that would allow him to leave for freeWhat's stopping messi from retiring, right this moment and then unretiring in a week?
Because they are run by an idiot, who has destroyed a wonderful clubMessi told them he wants to leave and his reasons for wanting to are justified. The simple point i'm making is that they've reacted to his request without any class.
Yes but did he want to leave last year?Surely Messi could have invoked the Webster ruling last year being over 28 when he signed his new contract? Can’t players 28 and older invoke it after 2 years?
Are you suggesting they are going to go bankrupt? What has been created at the Nou Camp has been magnificent, a model of club we have partly copied with great success as well. OK the cyclic nature of football has come home to roost but they will be back.And there 800m debt and there loan of 800m to cover there arses.

La Liga statement changes nothing. Messi still wants to leave and Barca know it.
As long as they manage it. Would you rather have a club with Arsenal’s model or Barca’s?Turnover is enormous, but what is their debt? That's a better idea of the truth.
Do you wonder why players are giving La Liga a wide berth when the president is an obnoxious, fat unhealthy gobshite ?La Liga are a Lionel Messi away from being bracketed by people in the 'farmers league' category, that's how important he is to that league.
The league has already been on a commerical decline, plus a lot of Europe's top talent has not gone to Spain like they did before, they are now looking towards other leagues, what is La Liga's attraction post Messi? Aside history of Barça or Real, Vinicius Jr? Lol
