    Rubiales has certainly a lot to say about the rfef leaders, otherwise they wouldn’t stand behind him like they do.

      Vilda (the team manager) is despised by the players, who have been trying to get him ousted. Rubiales is responsible for his still being in post. I would guess most of them are extremely reliant on his patronage. He wasn’t even that good a footballer in his day. It’s just a boys club where he uses RFEF money to throw orgies and they like beng protected from any fallout from their ridiculous machismo, I guess.

      But the RFEF are starting to turn on him, at regional level at least: Luis Rubiales: Regional Spanish FA bosses call on president to resign over kiss.

      Awful for Hermoso but ultimately good for Spanish football, I think. It’s gone beyond ridiculous and the inevitable fall will be glorious.
