Time for Messi to go?
Rob Palmer
...the once-perfect relationship is beyond repair. Messi appears unmotivated and the club's financial situation is worsening. He can leave in the summer for free, but it may be best for everyone if they could persuade someone to pay a fee in the winter ... This is a club that has reported debts of around 600 million and has told the players that biannual bonuses won't be paid in January. There are no signs of supporters filling the vast stadium, the museum which can attract 10,000 visitors a day is ... near future the age of "Messi-dependencia" needs to end. The club have relied on his brilliance and now they have to adjust to life where they don't lean on him. I've stated my case but I'm not sure exactly where he should go. Manchester City fans
