As he already did Racing de Santander days ago he too descended Extremadura has decided to apply through a note that it has published this Sunday on its website, in which it requests that there be no decreases in LaLiga SmartBank after the suspension of Deportivo-Fuenlabrada on the last day.
After wishing a “quick recovery” to the footballers of the Madrid team, the Extremaduran club asked that the bases of the competition be respected and, therefore: “Given the impossibility of finishing the competition due to COVID-19 infections in Fuenlabrada that have forced the suspension of the game on the last day of the League that said club had to play on the 20th of the current day, the definitive suspension of professional competitions is declared, applying by analogy the same criteria approved by the RFEF for non-professional football, for the suspension of said competitions, in terms of promotions and descents in them, so that qThat there are no decreases in professional categories and the promotions already produced are declared definitive ”.
Based on the above, the First division It would be made up of 22 teams (the current 20 plus the two promotions) and the Second division by 24 teams (the 20 that would remain after the promotions and the 4 promotions of 2B) ”, he added.
“Subsidiarily and if the First Division is considered unaffected, it remains the same with its current configuration of 20 teams (giving as definitive the promotions and descents already produced), and the Second Division by 26 teams (the current 22 plus the 4 promotions produced) ”.
“This Club will consider a clear offense any other alternative that supposes a modification of the number of teams that descend from category, understanding that all of them must suffer the same fate of loss or preservation of the category, especially considering that with the results of the rest of the matches on the last day, it is inconsequential to the effects of the descent the result that could occur in the suspended match ”.
“The foregoing considerations are made taking into account the exceptional and unpredictable nature of this situation and the regulation that our legal system establishes for these cases of force majeure, mainly the art. 1,105 of the Civil Code when establishing: “Nobody will answer for those events that could not have been foreseen, or that, foreseen, were inevitable”. In this sense, efforts must be made to reestablish the balance that the unforeseen and unavoidable circumstance has altered, and this balance is in no way re-established by establishing different treatments for the clubs involved, on the contrary, aggravating it, so that the 4 clubs involved in the descent to Seguda Division B they must suffer the same fate ”.
