In my own opinion,messi is the number one factor holding back barcelona.

For crying out loud,this guy is above 30,naturally,the law of diminishing returns is already happening. I believe this team should let go of old legs and rebuild.

Its not even the matter of sacking the coaches or admin staffs,much power is given to lionel messi,i see this ish happening again.

Messi age has nothing to do here cos he's still active on the pitch...Our board needs total flushing...

Sacrificial lamps are turning up 1 by 1. Hala Madrid, till my casket close.

Raydos:
In just 2 days

They fired The manager
They fired the sporting director

They should kuku sack their president and Make Fireboy as the new president nah!

As the late Brian Clough (two time European Champions Cup winner, the precusor of the Champions League) once said...

If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should go as well

But today's football chairmen...

Whobedatte:
Animal as a player is legendary , but as a top management executive , he has been shit .
Nonsense and ingredient

Animal?

This is one of the condition given by Messi for him to stay.....
Messi never liked him though !

Eric has to go !

Naira landers and their funny analysis. How can Messi be the problem of Barca? Despite his age, he is still racking up huge numbers (goals & assists). If he leaves, who will do that for Barca?

Don't mind the yeye people all na bitterness however, the club should get a player to play along with Messi and gather experience from him because Barca or no Barca Messi will not play football forever.
Up Barca! The club will bounce back.

That's the other older players but has for messi...the old man dey kampe.
Messi will play this footy till he is 38-40years so deal with it.
We intend to surround messi with younger players who are fit with great intensity......
Messi will give Barca 70goals a season....so the players will contribute 40goals.
The younger players will press for the ball......they have the intensity unlike the older players....
So in a nutshell......
Messi is here to stay.....the rakitic, Vidal, busquet, pique can all go.....including Alba.....
Those player just dey form seniority for team no let those young guys shine...
Imagine that mumu setien no gree start Puig ...for mildfield...and him wan win match....the matches he used puig ....Barca scored goals against Villarreal, Celts Vigo...and alaves....even Athletico.....but other matches he didn't use puig...na 1-0 match barca dey play.
In all Youth is the way to go...with Messi.....(I for just like clone messi) make in be like 2....in go sweet die

Very foolish club... messi ain't no better than Ronaldinho...Ronaldinho carried a barca that had not won CL in 14 yrs to victory , alongside eto puyol and deco ... but were all sold cos age started to show ...luckily for them, there was a messi , iniesta, xavi , busquet, Pedro , pique that carried the mantle passed to them by those great elders..couple with new experienced buys like dani Alves, villa, zambrotta and Eric abidal to stabilise the team ... Ronaldinho never controlled the board or coach ... barcas problems started when they brought in Ibrahimovic to replace eto as a response to real madrid buying cr7 ... now the top scorer competition was meant to b between ronaldo and Ibrahimovic but messi insisted that he wanted Ibrahimovics position so that he messi cud compete with ronaldo... that was the reason Ibrahimovic left after just one year ... messi has been controlling the team since then and now the chicken has come home to roost .... the moment xavi , iniesta , Dani alves and Neymar left , they became irrelevant in Europe and it was just a matter of time before they wud start to 4k up the league as well.... messi tot he cud do it alone... players that cudnt shine at barca cos of messi ... sanchez, Ibrahimovic, Neymar , dembele, coutinho, greizmann , paco alcacer, mention a few ...these players dint do ultimately well at barca but did exceptionally well b4 they joined or after they left ... when messi don't want u , ud automatically flop at barca

Now because of he wants to control entirely , the club is now in ruins ...no replacements, no youth player ... if Ronaldinho had messis attitude, messi would hv faded away...

no offense bro but your analysis is shiiiitt!!!...they had a particular style of play under the head coach gurdiola which was messi playing as a fasle 9...henry and eto as strikers played to that style but ibrahimovic wouldn't cos it would mean him scoring lesser goals ....pedro was soled cos of neymar not messi ...coutinho was being played out of his position was messi's fault huh? Or did he ask dem to buy grizeman who only gets to click in a two man attack? Or dembele who was bought to replace neymar at the left hand side but still played secondary school football and gets himself injured every now and then...who told you neymar wasnt a star player in the barcelona team before he left...ask urself if neymar was in madrid would he out shine ronaldo who madrid also sacrificed strikers (benzima and higuain for)...making dem play out of position to make ronaldo the point man for more goals...since the year messi clocked 30 take away is performance and see if barcelona as a team would have made top 5in all of laliga seasons ...a 32 year old player who is still currently the best player in the world is who you all critizies over a team he's been single handedly dragging along all this years ...so annoying! !!

This is mainly because of the waala he had with messi. Guy is being given godlike status at barca.

This is apt! Messi should be allowed to go 'cause sooner, he'll have to retire/leave and what then becomes of a messi-dependent barca? Barca should allow him go just as madrid allowed cr7 go. It will help them to pick up from that 8-2 embarrasment.

Really Madrid allowed cr7 go or he himself wanted to?the truth is if u are to dispose a top player like messi u must hv a ready made or someone u grooming to take over from him,which barca doesn't hv at the moment.

No one was groomed to take ronaldo's stead. Before messi, there was barca, after messi, there will be barca. Messi wants to go, barca should allow him. Ronaldo wanted to leave, madrid allowed him even though they didn't have a replacement. Barca should allow messi go.

Shut up!!

Your analysis is prejudice bro, Pep knws la media more than anybody then therefore it was easy for him to send the old cargo away and pick players from la mesia and build confident in them even he never hesitate to bring Sergio busquest and recall pique together with Messi , xavi and iniesta that has been in the team b4 so it was easy for him coz he coached them at Barca B and knws them well....Pep unilaterally played Messi in Ibrahimovic role that's why fight broke up between him and Ibrahimovic, till today Ibrahimovic still loves and worship Messi coz he believes pep causes his downfall not Messi and moreover Ibrahimovic Messi and Henry played for a season ND Messi never played in his position during his time in Barca, pls get ur fact right b4 u blame Messi. Messi only played in his position after he left Barca..Go and read Ibrahimovic response to pep after he left Barca,why blaming Messi??

Most of u guys are saying Barca should sell Messi, imagine someone that involved in 40 goals last season despite his age with declining over aged Barca?? Go and check ronaldinho performance in 2007 b4 he left Barca and see if he was at his top of his game like 2004_2006, most of guys just come here to write trash...

Messi is natural talent and he still has at least 3yrs to carry Barca as far as an concerned.

Pep never created that play....it has always been their style if play since cruyff took charge ... the 2000 team that got to the semi finals played the same type of football just like real Madrid and was coached by van gaal ... under Rijkaard the also played that brand of football lead by dinho ... so its no difference between those coaches and pep , even Enrique supervised that brand and they won the treble ... and he is not the best in the world... presently, immobile, Lewandowski, ronaldo , neymar are all better than him...and I'm no bro....I'm a sis

What did pep win that Rijkaard dint?? Rijkaard inherited a decapitated team ...a team that was languishing in 15 on the table and still qualified them for the CL that same year ... Rijkaard gave messi his first break , he stabilised their weak defence by buying davids from juve and barca clicked ... pep just inherited another man's foundation...y has pep not reached any final of CL since he left barca?? People like u need to b schooled

Most of you here are ignorant, u know nothing about Barca coz u are not a Barca fan, let me school you a little bit...

Rijkaard last season at Barca, we find it hard to qualify for champions league infact we finished 4th,just go and check it... He left the team with Valdez, milito, pique, Abidal, van brochust, toure yahaya,van bommen, deco, xavi, guilly, ronaldinho and eto ...

Pep singlehandedly revives this team and buld the team around Messi, xavi, inietsa, sack almost entire squad except Valdez, puyol, xavi and eto (later sent him parking) ,how can reasonable football analyst will say he it was rijkaard that built the team pep used... He might have Messi his debut but Messi has not been in Barca first level b4 pep came and built team around him, pep is Barca B coach so he knows all these player well, pls know your fact well before u write rubbish on Cyber space, u can't know Barca than me. Pep came bought keita, Dani Alves,Alba, recall pique from man utd, dump yahaya toure for busquet, promote Pedro, gave inietsa role and became first eleven player...

I think av educated you enough. Team will continue to have reserve player, it takes a brave and intelligent coach to bring the best in them and makes them successful, give kudos to pep for job well done that rijkarrd cannot do, if it's easy tell Frank lampard to reciprocate the same in Chelsea in his first season and achieve half of what pep did in his first season at Barca . Pep remains one of the best coach ever in the history of soccer.

It’s not Messi fault. With all the signing barca made they still played rubbish. Was is Messi that asked them to sign people they can use and win? If Messi was Ingured wudnt they play to win?

I’m a Ronaldo fan bt this is nonsense.

I think pep brought pique from man united because Barca has already sold pique to Man U be rijkard left.

They need to purge cos they 8 2 much last weekend.

He left on mutual consent

Since u say Messi's age isn't d problem, who are now d "old players" in Barca that u say need to be changed?

6- vidal

i wasnt referring to tiki taka but the introduction of false 9 brought in by gurdiola in his first ever clasico in charge or the senior team ....go on youtub the documentries are there for u to watch theres really no need to argue about it ...how can immobile be bettet than messi cos he scored how many goals lol funny u....so lampard was a better player than zidane because he scored more goals ?...anyways sorry i referred to you as a bro lol ps:rijkaard never played a false 9 with bacerlona ..Ronaldinho who is a natural attacking midfielder was converted to a winger eto played as a central foward that he his and guilly played on the right wing...there wasnt a false 9 ....pep had a secret training with his front 3 a day to el classico and told them his intentions eto and henry were to run on the flanks while messi drags defenders to himself from the right wing were he starts and then play eto or henry in ...the final score was 6-2 i think...madrid never saw that coming ....
