Came across this write up about Tebas. If we didn’t know he wasn’t a crook before well we do now. Not allowed to post in the FFP thread so I will put it here instead.

Few extracts:

LaLiga president Javier Tebas admits he has “denounced” Manchester City to UEFA and is now keenly observing whether an independent panel will find the club guilty following 115 charges for breaches of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.
“There is no denying there have been many irregularities,” said Tebas, speaking to Caught Offside in Saudi Arabia where he is visiting for the Club World Cup which Manchester City are favourites to win. “We already denounced these to UEFA. We don’t yet know what the decision from the Premier League’s case against the club will be, but Manchester City were already sanctioned by UEFA once, yet due to a formal defect they appealed at CAS.

Tebas is currently in Jeddah and working closely with Saudi authorities. LaLiga recently announced Visit Saudi as a partner and they are exploring opening a new Saudi office in 2024.

Yet back in 2020 Tebas told reporters in London that Saudi’s sports project is “whitewashing” and accused the government of being part of the pirate network channel ‘beoutQ’, which stole LaLiga games along with other high-profile sports rights from Qatari broadcaster beIN Sports.
“I said that [Saudi Arabia was using sport to ‘whitewash’] three years ago in London and back then I didn’t know enough about Saudi Arabia and their plans,” he said. “Now, I have changed my mind and seen great progress in Saudi. I have changed my mind generally about Saudi because the country has been changing a lot. It’s more open now and it would be a huge error not to change my opinion about Saudi as a result”

“I would accept a job to be the Saudi Pro League president!” Lol

Former MEN Football Editor Alice McKeegan has been appointed by the BBC as a Commissioning Producer, starting on 19 February.

I have no idea what that role actually entails but hopefully she can bring some semblance of objective order to the keyboard juveniles at Media City whose team colour affiliations match their puckered, puffy acne faces.

I guess that's a tall order with Lord Roan of Sauron overseeing sport editorial output and Simple Simon uhmming, arhhing and simpering around like a gormless ring-free Gollum for the licence-fee shilling but Alice knows the true blue hue of Manchester.

Fingers crossed that change is afoot, admittedly not immediately given the ridiculous, bloated monolith that is our so-called national broadcaster.

Separately, when did the BBC 'break' a football news story with all of their staff resource?

More widely, when did the BBC News team 'break' a story with all of their staff resource?

All too busy reading and following up 'The Times'...

I disgress! Apologies.
