It's the Spanish way!They'll get bailed out
They will buy your training ground for €500m and sell it back to you for €1.

Won’t be as straightforward as usual. The banks have far bigger problems than Barcelona.They'll get bailed out
Exactly what I was thinkingCould always sell Messi to Man City
Hopefully this is true.Barcelona face race to avoid financial ruin - Euro Papers - Football video - Eurosport
In today's Euro Papers, are Barcelona heading to financial ruin?www.eurosport.co.uk
Barca are one of the biggest symbols of Catalonia, it will definitely become politicised.There's bound to be a strong political element in this. Would Barcelona going bust help neutralize Catalan nationalism? One thing for sure is football and politics are an awful mix. Maybe nothing can help Barcelona now.
I wonder if Duff & Phelps have a Spanish office?

I thought they’d do that this summer to be honest. They’ll end up getting a loan off the Catalan government to see them through.They've become a crucial part of Barcelona the city and to the region of Catalonia. Not a chance they'll be allowed to go under. Catalan government will see to it that they remain solvent. Also fully expecting an exodus of big money players in the summer and a more Youth focused approach rebranded as a 'return' to the clubs roots with Ansu Fati being used as the poster boy for the revival. I do however, fully expect a prolonged period of discontent for them.
Good! Can't stand the Catalonian twats!
Yet they can blackmail/ force a player earning £1m a week to stay.Yet they can buy whoever they want.How does that work?

That is an interesting piece of conjecture.There's bound to be a strong political element in this. Would Barcelona going bust help neutralize Catalan nationalism? One thing for sure is football and politics are an awful mix. Maybe nothing can help Barcelona now.
Blackmail probably too strong a word but I mean the legal action nonsense, which Messi wanted to avoid and forced him into staying.how did they blackmail him?
As far as I remember they have bailed them out before in the recent past?Exactly, there is no chance the Catalan government would allow their biggest brand to be embarrassed and devalued.
They are the Tim’s of Spain ... Real Madrid are the royal family’s team...
Here mate, some Spanish guy told me that 5 years ago in my hotel in Ibiza, tbf I hadn’t slept for a few days but I believe him...Here we go again.
I’m amazed De Jong is earning triple what Coutinho is.
Never knew that Real Madrid were proddies . I'm going to start supporting el conjunto protestante from now on.They are the Tim’s of Spain ... Real Madrid are the royal family’s team...

I think you're right about football carrying more clout. Politicians, particularly Scottish ones, are too far removed from reality to realise it, or they are on a football gravy train they don't want stopped.That is an interesting piece of conjecture.
I have long said that if the Westminster Government were able to coerce the EPL into committing to a British League incorporating Rangers and The Filth, the push for independence in Scotland would be destroyed in an instant.
Football and politics may be an awful mix, but football often carries more clout than any political movement.
Not sure it’s really as simple as that. To ditch city he would need to find a buyer. Someone who is super rich would be the buyer. City would be no worse off.Would be funny if The Sheiks ditched City and bought Barcelona, then took Pep with them.
