Lionel Messi | Joins Inter Miami (pg4111)

[i8rags]

potato, patatas bravas.

He sent a fax saying he is out, before the final expiry of his contract, bonus gone.

He said I have left as per the agreement in his contract. Not can I leave, he considers himself a free agent, Barça do not agree.

 

[blueinsa]

Maybe. There is sense in that too. Terminating his contract early And still getting a bonus, i personally can't see logic in that, but who is to know.

I'm guessing based on what i can find and what seems reasoned. But this whole mess has been a case of 'the spirit of the contract' vs 'the technicality'.

We are all guessing here.

The £5 will be wired via the Etihad account, the boss man in Abu Dhabi has approved it. Make sure you tell no one though.

Is that HH?

Is that HH?

Yeah make sure you change your passwords though.

Has the curuption story been in the English media yet.... They seem very slow on this!

Yes, it is out there in a few publications. I get the idea they are looking for more detail before giving it more column inches. The premier league china contract news seems to be a main focus to though at the moment.

2233, going to make a bowl of porridge. What will it be when i get back?
my guess 2247

2235 the thread has lost its energy

According to various sites providing the net worth of athletes, Messi is already worth between $400 million and $450 million. He already has more money than he will probably ever want or need.

I don't think he is too worried about receiving a huge payout at the end of his contract or the size of his wage at City. He just wants to play football in a better environment than the one at Barca.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

No. the mere act of asking for it, writes ths bonus off, whether the club let hom go or refuse to.

Is there a possibility they could say......"stay next season and we will give you 1.3m per week,but no wage."....1.3m per week would make up the lost loyalty bonus.

So what’s happening today ...

- Jorge v Bart meeting 2.0?
- Bart getting arrested?
- Messi releasing that video statement?
- Messi filing for int’l transfer with FIFA?
- Some totally new bombshell?

It'd be nice if it was just one of the above but it's going to be know-nowts posting in Twitter and flapping/fanny wipes all over BM.

If you believe the Sun (lol), we've agreed to pay Messi £2.4million per week.

Not to dwell on this too long (although better than pages and pages of fish puns), what i have read is that even missing training can be seen as a breach of contract, and as such waive the loyalty bonus.

Now i get that from messi's side, he sees himself as no longer a barca player, and not breaching a contract he is no longer obliged by. And that is the stance i take and support in this too, as that is how i want to intepret the reported clause in his contract.

But from barca's side, they see him as a player who has asked to leave and gone on strike, as such losing his bonus. Which Could well be wrong.

It still makes the claim of the tweet fall flat on its arse, whichever way you look at it, that if barca made him stay they would be another €70m down next year. Which i guess was my point, it is speculation gone rogue.

I don’t even have to watch it, he is guessing and pulling twitter quotes together to make a story he wants to hear - we can all do that

Quite, there is a thread in the political forum that is almost entirely constructed in that way.

Interesting fact or name drop - my mate directed that film

well, looking at my Sunday Mirror 'sensational story' bingo card, i have ticked off everything but a sex/love tryst angle. can you guys dig up a female prostitute or porn star connected to anyone in this juicy story?

where the fuck is Stormy Daniels when you need her most...

So I’m gonna go out o a limb at this point and say I think Messi is staying at Barcelona. The clause in his contract that indicates June 10th appears to be the only truth thus far.

but did anybody stop to think that on June 10th city were banned from the Champions league, and only 4 days after City win their case, Messi sends the fax to Barcelona with the intent to leave. interesting .

Hi mate, just a quick heads up. Not one person in this forum gives even the slightest fuck what you think about this. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

We are the people’s popular front forum and not the popular people’s front forum ;-)

@blueinsa isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but I’d not thread ban him.
