RE: Let's discuss Barcelona & Bartomeu's horrible summer
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
One thing I learned from this whole Messi thing is the club don't hold the contracts, but La Liga do. This is why the club even if they wanted to cannot sell him. La Liga see him as too valuable for their international audience just to let go.
The President of Barcelona Football Club is personally responsible for any financial losses incurred during their reign. I never knew that and with no crowds attending matches this guy is screwed and thought would be a good reason to balance the books getting rid of Messi.

Are you sure about that? I know LaLiga weighed in on this issue by being in favor of Messi staying but as far as I know, and Messi told this in the video he released explaining his decision, the only reason he didn't leave Barcelona was that he didn't want to go to trial against his beloved club. He has a clause in the contract that allows him to leave for free if he chooses so and there is even an old video where Bartomeu says this very same thing. Messi said Bartomeu didn't keep his word so he is certainly very unhappy being forced to stay. Messi didn't blame LaLiga for this, only Bartomeu.
This is true, but the current 98M in losses are offset by the profit of previous years. He would be in trouble if this season also ends in horrible losses. That is unless the motion of censure goes through and he is removed from the presidency, in which case he wouldn't be responsible for this season's results. This is what I last read about the issue. It has been fun so far to read news about Barcelona hahahaha...
La Liga wouldn't budge on his contract saying he has to see it out. This makes more sense not allowing their star player leaving as he is a massive draw card for them. I was shocked that they hold the players contracts and clubs need permission to sell.
