MADRID, 10 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, affirmed that “if Barcelona works along the lines in which most things are working, it will succeed”, because when it comes to generating resources “it is a machine for making money”, while he differentiated the losses of the Barça club between those derived from the pandemic, the operations and the decisions that the club has made.
“I believe that if FC Barcelona works along the same lines as it is working on most things, it is a great club that is going to get ahead, I have no doubt. Barcelona, ??in economic terms, is a machine of make money”, Tebas explained this Friday during his speech at the fourth edition of ‘MARCA Sports Weekend’.
Tebas wanted to completely banish the comparisons between FC Barcelona and other teams that have suffered declines for economic reasons because the culé team “is not breaching disciplinary rules at this level”. “In the case of Elche, it was for repeatedly breaching commitments with the Tax Agency. It is not comparable,” he stressed.
Even so, the president of LaLiga also believes that part of the problem comes from management. “Some have also wanted to throw shit at the previous ones all the time, that they will have been wrong, there is no doubt about that, but maybe there is not so much shit to throw and that has turned a little against them,” he pointed out.
“FC Barcelona comes from more than 500 million losses, and in our economic control when someone comes with those numbers they have to recover them. The causes were part due to losses from COVID, part operating losses and because player amortization provisions have been advanced that they did not have a reason to have done them and they provisioned some lawsuits that have not been understood much,” Tebas explained, which, in approximate figures, places at “about 190 million” those derived from the pandemic, 160 million for “accelerated amortization issues” and “the rest of the operational losses of the management that the Bartomeu era may have had.”
Javier Tebas pointed out that FC Barcelona has “designated a strategy” that is “the one they are applying” because “it is within their own freedom”, emphasizing that “the auditors that they sent for the issue of guarantees to the CSD have already drawn attention on that matter and also on the fiscal credit originating from those losses”.
The president valued it as “own decisions” that in his opinion “were erratic and wrong” and “that are weighing heavily on them in terms of the salary limit.” “We don’t like this situation at all, but you have to think that LaLiga’s responsibility has been much greater,” he explained.
Tebas explained that, to get out of this situation, Barcelona “knows what it has to do” and that “it can sign”, although with “the 1/3 rule”. “If you remove players for 100, you can sign for 33, if you carry out operations for the sale of assets, if you sell, you will reduce debts and compensate, you can change,” he said.
In addition, Thebes again criticized what has been happening for several weeks in national football and that involves his figure and that of Luis Rubiales. “There are a number of situations in football where we can’t be like this,” he lamented.
“They have the strategy of victims and those of us who are victims are the rest, David Aganzo or Javier Tebas. As far as I know, I have not placed any spy anywhere and here, unfortunately, there are good and bad, there are people who send detectives, records meetings and others that we do nothing,” he added.
The president of LaLiga once again defended his role in the meetings with Juan Rubiales, uncle of Luis Rubiales, or Miguel Ángel García Caba, deputy secretary of the RFEF. “The main consequence is that the directors of the federation do not know who they are going to be able to sit down with, because either you go naked or with inhibitors or you are not going to be able to sit down and talk,” he said regarding the recordings that are coming to the press. light.
Tebas did not doubt that “there must be a certain relationship of trust” and that “as much as one may have differences, there are certain limits that cannot be exceeded”, while reiterating that “the plot is in Mr. Rubiales and his team” . “The rest of us are victims,” ??he said.
“I do not have any war with Mr. Rubiales. I maintain what I always say, that he is not qualified to lead the RFEF and now he has seen everything that is happening,” continued the president.
In this sense, he pointed out that “with all the clubs” with which he speaks “they are very clear about where the good guys are and where the bad guys are.” “The problem here is that it seems like a personal issue and I personally have nothing with Mr. Rubiales, my problem is as president of the RFEF and how he is managing football with these absolutely mafia and detective practices. Let’s not mistake where the focus is of the problem, that the person they recorded was me,” he asserted.
Tebas also stated that the clubs are “surprised” by what is happening. “I think they have enough with what they have to be in this type of conflict. That the president of the Federation does this type of trickery makes the clubs afraid, I’m not saying those of professional football, talk in private with those of the First RFEF or with those of women’s football,” he declared.
The president of LaLiga believed that the explanations that Rubiales gave in the RFEF Assembly “are not enough” and that the CSD “has to do something in the face of the complaints that have been made and others that will be.” “I’m going to file one too because of the recordings I’ve had, but there’s nothing, this is Sister Madre Rubiales, this is very good and this is great,” he said ironically.
Tebas was also ironic in describing the ‘Viana Pacts’ as “‘The Viana Robberies'” and stated that he was “concerned” about the ‘whatsapp’ from Rubiales to Pedro Sánchez. “I’m not so naive about this and football wants freedom, and now it doesn’t have it,” he warned. “The most there is is silence from the Federation and wait from the CSD,” he added, adding that “of course, unfortunately, this is talked about in Europe.”
