The recent developments involving the TAD opening proceedings against LaLiga president Javier Tebas have brought to light a contentious issue within the Spanish football landscape. Real Madrid, one of the most prominent clubs in the league, has lodged a complaint against Tebas regarding the CVC deal signed by LaLiga. This deal, valued at a significant amount, has divided opinions among the clubs, with Madrid, Barcelona, and Athletic Club opposing the decision made by the majority.
The crux of the complaint filed by Real Madrid revolves around the perceived discrimination by LaLiga during the negotiations with the investment fund CVC over TV rights. Madrid has accused Tebas of abusing his powers and lacking transparency in the assembly held on August 12, 2021, where the agreement with CVC was discussed. The club argues that Tebas failed to adhere to the required notice period of 10 days before the assembly, providing only eight days’ notice instead.
The legal battle between Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Athletic Club against LaLiga over the CVC deal has led to a lawsuit branding the agreement as “illegal.” While the clubs argue against the legality of the deal, LaLiga maintains that it will benefit and strengthen its member clubs. A court dismissed the initial lawsuit in February, indicating a complex and contentious legal environment surrounding the issue.
The recent suspension of Pedro Rocha as the president of the Spanish football federation (RFEF) by the TAD further underscores the gravity of the situation. Rocha’s suspension for two years due to a serious infraction related to abuse of power adds another layer of controversy to the ongoing proceedings against Tebas. The actions taken by TAD highlight the need for accountability and transparency within football governing bodies.
The TAD proceedings against LaLiga president Javier Tebas highlight the complexities and disputes present in the Spanish football landscape. The accusations of abuse of power and lack of transparency raise questions about the integrity of the decision-making processes within the league. As the legal battles continue and the implications unfold, it remains to be seen how the situation will be resolved and what impact it will have on the future of Spanish football.
