so how are they run into the ground then if they are spending big money still?
That’s because it’s impossible to keep him happy no matter how much they pay him or bend over backwards for him
Mythi plays his own role in that. His influence is toxic.
Because they have signed unsuitable players for unbelievable prices while neglecting more pressing areas of the team obviously
They kept him happy with no issues for about 15 years
this is of no concern to messi. he is an employee.
How so. They spent cast sums of money on flops to appease him. Appointed chumps of managers to appease him. Messi is at the hub of the mess Barcelona are. He holds far, far too much influence and his petulance does nothing to create a good atmosphere.

So no player ever has the right to want to leave their current team because of how they’re being ran?
Players and managers he didn’t want. How is that appeasing him?
Course he can, at the terms of the selling or buying club and his contract. He is an employee. Not the president. If he wants to leave he can, if there is a willing buyer. He signed the contract and has been handsomely rewarded.
He signed the contract with the stipulation that he could leave for free at the end of the season and that’s not been allowed to happen due to Covid
no, the contract was a specific date. Not the end of the season. Not the first fella to get fucked over by the small print. Nor the last.
If he wants out he can go to CAS and appeal. Or if not he can stay and collect another 50m and go on a free next year.
Don’t be making a martyr of him
He loves the club too much to take it to court mate
well stay and stop bitching then, if he loved the club that much he wouldn’t have had that clause put in
So you can’t love a club and want to leave at some stage in your 30s? Strange comment
Ehhh incorrect.
Tata Martino or whatever he was called. Griezmann and Countinho.
Huh? Messi wanted Neymar, not Griezmann or Coutinho. That’s been very widely reported.
Tata Martino was years ago under a different Barca board
He’s also railroaded other former team mates out with him demands - Zlatan and Alexis are two examples.
Messi has a massive ego and wants everything around him.
CR7 is no doubt very vain but his ego and petulance is nowhere near Messi’s.
he’s an employee. he shouldn’t say who he wants signed.
No it hasn’t. It was widely reported Messi wanted both Griezmann and Countinho.
He’s a toxic influence.
They’d certainly be in a much better place now if they listened to him
