They will continue to get killed by teams who take the game to them and punch them in the nose. Teams that aren’t scared or intimidated by them like all of the French clubs are. They’ll get to the last 8 again and one of the English sides will knock them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomiswave 6,119 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 How the fuck does PSG by pass FFP? They keep buying and buying and some of their players are on high wages, now add Messi on top. Clearly cheating. No chance they are making near enough money to cover all that shit. Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an investigation once bc PSG kept offsetting their losses with Qatar money that was declared as sponsorship money. But they then bribed the UEFA duds so they declared "all is fine". Now they have a free pass. Atomiswave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony of Inter's finances being fucked up because of Conte's expensive has-beens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to say “ I don’t see it happening at all.” Messi could still end up staying though. In their announcement Barcelona played the victim card and blamed it all on evil La Liga who bullied them by not allowing them to register Messi's new contract even though the club and player had already agreed everything. At the moment it looks like it's all a big bluff to see if La Liga will budge with their FFP rules for Barcelona, because no Messi will mean less money (league sponsorships, broadcasting etc.) for the league too. I think it's very Liverpool of them to portray themselves as the victim in the situation. Nobody forced them to spend almost half a billion euros on duds like Coutinho, Dembele, Griezmann and pay them absurdly inflated wages for years, and nobody forced them to pay Messi €100M a year in wages either if they couldn't afford it. But instead of facing the consequences of having to do a smart rebuild of the squad and tightening their purse strings for a few years they're still going all-in on the idea of a Super League which would 'save' them of their financial problems. I think it's telling that at the moment no Barca player, neither current or former, has commented anything publicly on the matter. You would think if it's 100% settled that Messi is not staying the first thing they'd all do is go to their social medias and milk it for as much as they can by saying what a privilege it's been to play with Messi and how much they'll miss him etc. So far there's been nothing which would suggest they're still playing the waiting game to see if the club can somehow squeeze in Messi's new contract, allowing him to stay. At the moment I'd say i's about 50/50 whether he stays or joins PSG or something. Edited August 6, 2021 by Jype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_4_eva 1,182 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Yup Barca failed to sell any of players with those ridiculous high wages that they chose to give them and now acting as its La Liga's fault with their rules. We also need to keep this is mind as we also have done the same, thankfully no rules regarding wages here... yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milka 3,395 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 it is clear where he is going 😉 Talks between Lionel Messi and PSG are progressing well. PSG believe they have a good chance of closing the deal and can afford to sign him without breaking FFP rules. (Source: @SkyKaveh ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warning_Hazard 156 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Barca have gone from having 'charity' sponsers to becoming an actual charity case! The news about them not even able to sign the new incomings is huge and we should be all over this. We should of gone for the kun over torres in the first place!
