The situation of Javier Tebas and the LaLiga clubs with the CVC agreement is beginning to become increasingly unsustainable. Levante, together with other clubs such as Valencia and Rayo Vallecano, among others, are beginning to raise their voices against the agreement signed with the employers' association. The last transfer market was one of the toughest for Spanish football, with several teams having serious problems not only in being able to sign reinforcements, but also in registering footballers due to financial fair play.

Only three years have passed since the agreement was announced and various entities are beginning to show regret for having signed the alliance with the organisation led by Tebas. With 47 years still left of the 50 stipulated in the contract, the agreement has proven to be a ruin for these institutions and they are already beginning to complain publicly. The first of them has been Levante's sporting director, Felipe Miñambres, who has harshly criticised the distribution of the financial injection.

"All the clubs decided at a certain time how that distribution was. It's not a matter for the League, the clubs get together and maybe it's time for them to get together and make a different distribution. It's not going to help me to make a better press room or make some boxes or do a series of things that are not going to go where they should go for the most part, which is to the playing field and to the footballers. In the end it's not just us. We may be in a slightly worse situation, but most clubs tell you about this feeling. So we have to see, I don't know if maybe they give 5% more, at least to move the money because having it in the CVC is not going to help us," he explained.

The complaints did not come only from the Granota team. Valencia, with Miguel Ángel Corona at the helm, denounced the complicated situation that the club is going through because of the pinch that CVC takes. The sporting director of the club said that "Despite finishing ninth last season, the forecast is that not only will we not earn more, but we will earn less than when we finished sixteenth. There are times when it is not possible. But we have made many efforts to maintain the squad, that whole great block that gave us performance last year."

The teams 'rebel' against Tebas

Vallecas has also raised its voice. Raúl Martín Presa, president of Rayo, has assured that he has not signed up to the CVC agreement this year and that, consequently, he is not receiving this money. "We have not entered into CVC, we have not signed up for the contract. We support it, but we have not requested help. Rayo is a team and the current board is working intensively to pay a debt and solve a financial situation that others created. We are reaching the shore and we do not want a wave to return us again. Within our humility we will get where we get to; but we do not want to owe anything to anyone," he said.

In this way, it is evident that Tebas is beginning to run out of support in one of his main projects in LaLiga. The agreement has shown to worsen the economic conditions of Spanish clubs, which are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with teams in leagues such as the Premier League, where a newly promoted team can take on million-dollar signings without problems. For this reason, a 'revolt' has begun in the management, where they could have many problems in the coming weeks.
