La Liga President Javier Tebas has shown that he is not at all happy about the decision of the Ministry for Sport to grant Barcelona a temporary injunction, keeping Dani Olmo and Pau Victor registered while their arguments are played out. He has also pointed the finger in an unexpected direction.

On Wedensday evening, the CSD granted Barcelona an emergency injunction against the unregistering of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, a move that means they will be available until the case is resolved. It also prevents them leaving for free as they could have done before it was granted.

A decision that was met with opposition from La Liga and the RFEF, who unregistered both players, effectively meaning they cannot play for the rest of the season. Tebas has now taken to Twitter/X to complain about the decision, but also point the finger at Real Madrid.

“The president of the CSD seems to listen to a single voice, which does not represent Spanish professional football. And that voice, curiously, maintains a complicit silence in this case. Where is Real Madrid TV now? (to be continued…,),” explained Tebas after questioning the CSD’s rationale.

Tebas explains that the speed of the process, the ignoring of previous decisions and declaring that one of the organisms is incompetent are all suspicious to him. Yet his suggestion that Real Madrid are involved does not occur in a vacuum.

Off the record, Real Madrid have reportedly been supporting Barcelona’s bid to register Olmo and Victor, and certainly haven’t raised their voice against it, as other major clubs have. Meanwhile Real Madrid TV has been a consistent tool used to pressure La Liga and the RFEF over officiating and other decisions, but has not complained about this matter.

Chapter 1 of this tragicomedy

Many things are surprising about the recent precautionary measure:

1. Speed ​​of the process: An unusual speed that did not give rise to any opinion from either LaLiga or the RFEF.

2. Forgetting previous resolutions: Ignoring previous decisions of both the CSD and the courts of justice.

3. Declaration of lack of competence of the Monitoring Committee: This decision demonstrates a profound lack of knowledge of how pre-approvals and quasi-definitive licences are managed. Are there no prior agreements in these institutions?

Furthermore, there is no mention at any point of the articles of the RFEF regulations that prevented the granting of licenses to players, which is the key to the issue and not economic control. Was this an intentional omission?

It is clear that, with this precautionary measure, the CSD contradicts what is stated in the motives for the Sports Law, which praise the economic control of LaLiga. This control, admired worldwide, has been key to saving numerous historic clubs from ruin and achieving an integrated competition on and off the field. However, the CSD questions this, once again showing a lack of knowledge of the effects of its decisions (which is not the first time).

For some time now, the CSD – and in particular its president, giving the appropriate instructions – seems to have the objective of dismantling the systems that operate in LaLiga and have the majority support of the clubs. The president of the CSD seems to listen to a single voice, which does not represent Spanish professional football. And that voice, curiously, maintains a complicit silence in this case. Where is Real Madrid TV now? (to be continued…)
