The federation is sure that the Government “is not going to give in to the blackmail” of the employers, according to its spokesman
MADRID, 24 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has described this Monday as “intolerable” the threat of a strike by the LaLiga clubs due to their disagreement with the new Sports Law, although it expressed its conviction that the Government “is not going to give in to blackmail”, according to her, from the bosses.
“The pressure that the Government and the Courts are enduring, orchestrated by Javier Tebas from LaLiga, threatening a lockout, is intolerable and we are sure that they are not going to give in to blackmail. What is clear is that Tebas sees that the CVC operation is illegal because the current Sports Law does not allow him to do what he is doing. He knows that he has lost the case in court and that is why he wants to shield himself at the legislative level by launching a crack at popular sovereignty,” the spokesman for the RFEF, Javier Gómez Matallanas.
Javier Gómez Matallanas regretted that the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, is threatening a lockout, something that, according to him, is “illegal” because none of the assumptions contemplated in Spanish legislation occur. “If you consume his plan, you should be disabled immediately,” he said.
In the opinion of the federative spokesman, LaLiga’s “malpractice” “has facilitated the loss of talent and has lost interest.” “The competition has been devalued in record time and its president, instead of working to stop this free fall, is focused on wars and personal interests and is dragging Spanish professional football into the abyss,” he stressed.
For Matallanas, professional football “cannot depend on his bungling with a Luxembourg fund in which they are going to reward him in a multimillionaire way with the lifetime presidency of a rights marketing company.”
“How can his allies not see something like that? Tebas is only interested in ensuring his status, he can sink many clubs, including those who are not in professional football now, but who aspire to be,” he concluded.
