There are a few constancies when it comes to La Liga president Javier Tebas. One is his orientation to financial purity among Spanish clubs, the other is his hatred towards the Super League and the third is Barcelona. He uses the Catalans and PSG in France as arguments when he is explaining club’s poor financial decisions and always mentions Barca when talking about financial restrictions in La Liga. And numerous times he clashed with presiden Joan Laporta, who asked of Tebas to stop naming Barcelona in public. The potential referee bribe case called ‘Negreira case’ named after a referee which Barca allegedly paid, was another opportunity for Tebas to talk about the Catalans. But it seems that his involvement backfired at him big time.Barcelona release a statement calling for La Liga president Javier Tebas to resign following a report in La Vanguardia that linked him with providing false information in the Negreira case pic.twitter.com/KF2qAhDJtN— B/R Football (@brfootball) April 3, 2023 According to Spanish ‘Lavanguardia’, La Liga president provided evidence in ‘Negreira case’ to the court, but they appeared to be false. And Barcelona is asking for his resignation. In a letter to the Public Prosecutor, Tebas directly implicated two former presidents of Barca, Josep Maria Bartomeu and Sandro Rosell, in alleged crimes of unfair administration and misappropriation, based on a handwritten document of a deceased former director. The problem is that the family of the deceased manager, Josep Contreras, has clarified the true identity of the people mentioned in the document and that they have nothing to do with the former presidents of Barca, writes La Vanguardia. In reality, as the family of the deceased has clarified, the document was written decades ago and the names indicated by Tebas refer to Emilio Román, Contreras’ lawyer; Ramon Rosell, accountant of his companies; and Josep María was an employee of Banca Catalana responsible for the accounts of the deceased in the entity.UEFA opened an investigation against Barcelona, possible expulsion from the Champions League!And Barcelona wasted no time when this was revealed. “We urgently request the president of LaLiga to appear publicly to offer explanations, beyond the tweet sent at dawn by Mr. Tebas, fleeing from the studio and with a threatening patina. FC Barcelona, as the president Joan Laporta has been saying in recent weeks, feels like the victim of a media lynching due to events that have never happened: Barca has never bought referees. A handful of media and opinion-makers have participated in this harassment with more or less bad intentions, and with LaLiga behind the scenes fanning the fire against our Club, with contributions from its president that have only gone in one direction: trying to condemn us before public opinion before for the facts to be judged. It is not the first time that the president of LaLiga has used all his media machinery to blow up FC Barcelona but, apart from his usual nonsense, we could never have imagined that he would have tried to incriminate our Club with false evidence” said Barcelona in a statement published later today.Tebas on Barca: Not possible to impose sporting disciplinary sanctions, five years have already passedThe Catalans now got Tebas where they wanted him, and they are asking him to resign. “The news published today by La Vanguardia is so serious that it should alert all LaLiga clubs, due to practices that do not fit in with the functions attributed to the president of LaLiga. Only for this fact, that of attributing functions that do not correspond to him, although also out of dignity and respect for the presidency of LaLiga, Mr. Tebas should resign from his function. However, aware of his obsession with persecuting FC Barcelona and constantly showing his aversion and manifest antipathy towards our Club, we understand that the current president of LaLiga will persist in his behavior of continuing to harm our Club” reads the statement. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7142726##
