More institutional mess. This time on account of the First and Second calendar. The Federation sent two letters to LaLiga and CSD on Monday, making clear its position on this matter just 18 days before a new season begins (September 12). In it he responded to different LaLiga proposals made ten days ago and He communicated that he does not approve the sketch of the season that he has designed and to which AFE put buts, as AS reported days ago. Later, the LaLiga Delegate Commission replied that, according to competences that it believes to be its own and that the RFEF denies, he will carry out the draw next Thursday on his own even though it is always done in Las Rozas. The CSD, fed up with these wars, is silent and demands responsibility, but is aware that it will have to mediate again.
The general secretary of the RFEF, Andreu Camps, was blunt in the letter of discord: “Any mock draw that is organized from LaLiga not only will not recognize it, nor will it have any value, but it will also be immediately denounced for fraud in competitions before the CSD and before international organizations “. The RFEF assures that it will wait “until there is a health guarantee” before “studying the calendar.” And he added this dart to Thebes: “Without acrimony, recommend or advise you to put some calm in your state of mind. Please reassure yourself, it will be good for you and your health and it will be good for football. “
Tebas was angry at the Delegate Commission held today. As AS learned, he harshly criticized the RFEF, threatened to adhere to the complaints filed by Fuenlabrada and managed to get his working group to approve a forceful statement: consider that you have not committed any negligence or violation of the protocols. It supports the performance of LaLiga and Fuenlabrada! (…) LaLiga reiterates its respect and support for that of the LaLiga Judge, the only competent judge. (…) This Delegate Commission ratifies LaLiga's decision, in accordance with its powers, to proceed with the celebration of the draw on August 27. Likewise, it considers inadmissible any proposal whose purpose is to alter the number of members of the First and Second. We call on the institutions to ensure respect for competence, thus avoiding undue interference ”.
According to LaLiga sources, he acts like this to unblock the situation because, although the General Regulations of the RFEF do not specify who has the powers, it assures that in theirs it does (Book IV): “It must be carried out in the ordinary annual session of the General Assembly of the Federation and LaLiga will determine the conditions ( asymmetric calendar) ”. As this body is dissolved by the electoral process, says LaLiga, it cannot be. RFEF sources recall that LaLiga does not have powers in this matter or in others that it believes to be within its domain and that in 2018 Tebas did tie up with another Manager like the one now (that of its dolphin, Juan Luis Larrea) the details of the calendar that Later it was approved in the Assembly, with Rubiales already president, because then they did not want to go into small details with the aim of starting institutional relations well (as it was and then they were damaged). The RFEF's short-term plan is for Competition to decide (the same next Monday) what to do with the Fuenlabrada Case (it will present its allegations to the decline this Friday) and then carry out the calendar draw with the certainty that these 42 clubs will be professionals, and not others, those who make up each of the two categories.
