We can't judge Barcelona as a mediocre club when they lost Messi because after all Barcelona is a club that has a lot of achievements and even now they are still able to compete in La Liga and the European League, the problems that are happening at Barcelona at the moment can't seem to be linked to Messi because It is indeed the financial factor that caused Barcelona to lose Messi, not the other way around, if Barcelona were not experiencing bad financial problems like now then I am quite sure that Messi would still be with Barcelona and maybe he would even retire at Camp Nou.
I agree with what you said about the solution to improve Barcelona at this time by switching to new ownership then maybe we will be able to see Barcelona rise again, but unfortunately the club owner and management are reluctant to sell Barcelona and prefer to solve their problems by reducing the salaries of players, management and even selling their star players to other clubs to at least cover their financial problems,With this decision from management remaining adamant, of course Barcelona is even more shackled and will only continue to decline for the next few seasons.
Every business has the time it’s thrive and when it goes through some passing times. Now the ability of a business to stay gripped through passing times and come out of it successfully without the business going into extinction is one huge characteristic of a very successful business. This same philosophy can be likened to a football club as there are days where we’ve got the club always in the limelight maybe because of how they real perform or maybe because of a particular player in the team. Now a club having a sweet rhythm might not always happen everytime as they could lose players to contract expiration or the players deciding to try out other challenges or adventure.
Now this is the case for Barcelona because they’re currently in a big dilemma that started since they didn’t just lost their star man, Messi. Their problem started when they lost most of her big players who have played together for over 5-7 years as replacing these quality was one big challenge. Now the club has now gotten to a big issue which balls down t the club’s finances and we know that finance is needed fir every business to thrive. The departure of these stars have now made us realize that the club was actually overspending to keep these players still at the club.
However, they’re suffering the consequences for their past actions and sincerely it’s real crazy. Well At this stage, I don’t think they’ll be able to achieve any form of success outside the Spanish League as the European is one big tournament that could swallow them up as they’re not equipped well enough to float in that kind of tournament. Even to an extent, I don’t think they’ll be able to overcome the Spanish League especially as their major opposition Real Madrid is equipped with the right players and also huge finances to get more players. Going forward, Selling this club to a very rich owner who would clear her debt and rebuild is real an option now and I think this is the best option among the odds.
