LondonLax Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Quote The Spanish football federation (RFEF) has asked Uefa to suspend it from international competitions because of government interference over demands to remove its beleaguered president, Luis Rubiales, from office. The shock move was widely seen as an attempt to silence some of Rubiales’ critics, including government ministers who have asked for his removal. Such a suspension would ban Spanish teams from competitions like the Champions League and could sway public opinion in favour of letting Rubiales, who is also a Uefa vice-president, remain in his post. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/aug/28/rfef-asks-uefa-to-suspend-spanish-teams-luis-rubiales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can think of, he has been caught before with Pique offering him some payoff for the Super Cup to go to Saudi so probably has others in his pocket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Spanish Football Federation now want to sack the women’s team manager, although I can’t see why? Quote The Spanish Football Federation is exploring its options over whether it can sack Women's World Cup-winning head coach Jorge Vilda. Vilda remains in post despite most of his coaching staff resigning in protest against federation president Luis Rubiales' refusal to quit for kissing squad member Jenni Hermoso after their World Cup win on 20 August. Eighty-one Spain players, including all 23 World Cup winners, have also said they would not play for the team again while Rubiales remained in position. Vilda was spotted applauding Rubiales at the Spanish federation's (RFEF) extraordinary general assembly on Friday, when Rubiales repeatedly insisted he would not resign, though Vilda has since criticised his behaviour. The RFEF believes all those incidents combined may give them enough of a case to sack Vilda. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just so odd, it’s hard to fathom who is backing/opposing who (and why). They have mutiny of staff and players refusing to play because of the behaviour of the director, and then the response of the SFF is to try and sack one of the few who hasn’t quit. Bonkers.

The original Spanish squad effectively quit playing because of their coach. I think only a couple then re-joined for the World Cup. Can't remember the exact allegations, but he's obviously not a well-loved guy (and is also very close with this president). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
