With one or two nice groups…”, affirms Roig Negueroles, CEO of Villarreal. One of many amendments demanded by the golf equipment is that LaLiga be acknowledged because the one in command of exploiting the industrial and audiovisual rights of the competitors and whose revenue is then distributed amongst all.

It’s mainly the golf equipment that don’t signal with CVC (Madrid, Barça and Athletic) who’re excited by a wording that doesn’t favor LaLiga. They intend to develop extra and are excited by going to a different league with European golf equipment with out involving the remainder of us. They give the impression of being after their pursuits with out caring what occurs to the remaining”.
“The brand new Legislation could compromise the settlement with CVC”
Manuel Torres, Huesca president, warns {that a} judicial hell could possibly be coming in soccer: “The Legislation locations us in a scenario of danger, it opens the door to a attainable rupture of the present system of exploitation. Each of the administration of economic and audiovisual rights. As well as, it may be a supply of battle concerning the group of the competitors with the Federation. We have no idea the habits that our operators can have. There are safeguard clauses within the contracts that ponder adjustments in situation. When legislating, care have to be taken in how the laws are drafted. This may occasionally compromise the CVC settlementwhich is an industrial accomplice and has allowed us to develop and our stadiums to be higher”.

To which Gorostiza provides: “Let’s have a look at what occurs… We’re very cautious, very upset and offended. We’ll get the place we have to go, relying on how issues go. The likelihood that we arise and cease the competitors just isn’t a bluff. We do not make jokes. I’ve all the time relied on dialogue. However when it is over, different measures should be taken.”. Domínguez helps this place: “They care about a couple of in opposition to a majority. The break is on the desk, it isn’t optimistic, however generally it’s crucial”. Torres is extra optimistic: “I belief within the sense of accountability of politicians. Any situation is feasible.
