Javier Tebas named to UEFA's Executive Committee

[Stockton Heath Blue]

Un-be-liev-able Jeff!

I think Tebas is still under investigation but no charges have been brought. Mind you being prosecuted for something is no barrier to career progress at UEFA or FIFA. It seems to be a minimum requirement for the job.

Next stop, Talksport

Incredible. Tebas is a public supporter of Far Right groups in Spain. He has presided over a league that has been brought to its knees by corruption and fraud investigations at its leading clubs (Barcelona and Real Madrid) and seen some players and club directors jailed for match fixing (Real Betis). He has also faced corruption allegations relating to his son's ownership of football clubs in Spain.
These are just the sort of things you need on your CV to become a member of the UEFA Exec Committee. Will the English press continue to endorse all his public comments without any sense of scrutiny or balance?

depends upon utd getting into the CL next year

Tebag is someone who questioned the integrity of the CAS after he had previously praised them for the Barca and Real cases. How utterly childish and unprofessional can you get.
Who's got a clear bias against all PL clubs not just City. So no PL clubs should be pleased with this.
Who's under investigation himself for tax reasons.
Who has far right group connections in Spain.

UEFA couldn't have found a worse appointment, for the perception of their own integrity, if they tried.

Well I’m genuinely surprised.

Laughable. UEFA should be looking to modernise but they’ve appointed a dinosaur.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Also trouble for UEFA. The guy is clearly incompetent and corrupt

Isn't that the two main criteria for UEFA's ExCo?

 

[Nascent Blues]

Well I’m genuinely surprised.

Laughable. UEFA should be looking to modernise but they’ve appointed a dinosaur.

A racistauraus.

 

[Atypical]

I hope they have put him on a pedestal, so he can make his position untenable very quickly, otherwise wtf.

 

[Blue Theatre]

Crikey, that's all we need - someone who hates City even more than most, at the heart of UEFA.

He also hates the idea of any kind of European Superleague, so maybe he's been hired to help stop that happening ?
Hope so, as it may keep his mind off City ?

And people know why European football is run and owned by the UEFA corrupt dinosaur cartel. You can add Tebas to that group now. It was only a matter of time. Get him onboard, so not to rock the Real Madrid and Barcelona already sinking in debt ships any further. And to give him a sweetner to shut him up. Better to have him on the inside where his big mouth can be controlled.

Note Gill's position on UEFA's Executive Committee. He would have access to all City's financial details forwarded to UEFA via FFP.

All wearing black. The death of European Football.
