Tebas speaks out on Real Madrid's corporate structure
LaLiga's top executive, Javier Tebas, has shared his opinion on the ownership model that underpins Real Madrid. His statement focuses on the need for the club to decide its future as a sports entity. ⚽
The context of the institutional debate
These statements arise during a period when discussions are ongoing about how football clubs in Spain should organize their governance. Tebas clarifies that his role is not to pressure, but to inform about the rules governing the league. The institution he leads must ensure that all teams comply with the law, regardless of their legal form.
Key points of his stance:- The final decision on the corporate model rests exclusively with the Real Madrid members and its internal governing bodies.
- LaLiga has no authority to force a club to change its ownership structure.
- His role is limited to supervising compliance with the competition's statutes and current sports legislation.
The debate, according to him, must be resolved within the club and with the vote of its delegate members.
LaLiga's neutral position
In the face of those who might expect a more interventionist attitude, Tebas adopts a stance of institutional respect. He emphasizes that Real Madrid, given its history and size, is perfectly aware of its options within the legal framework. 🏛️
LaLiga's functions in this matter:- Ensure the stability and legality of the competition it organizes.
- Guarantee that all clubs, regardless of their model, operate within the established regulations.
- Act as a mere observer, without influencing the sovereign decision of each entity's members.
The ball is in the Bernabéu’s court
In short, Tebas passes the responsibility for the decision to the heart of the merengue club. The Real Madrid assembly is the only forum with legitimacy to settle this matter. LaLiga, for its part, will accept and supervise compliance with the option chosen by the members, thus closing a debate that continues to generate divided opinions. 🤝
