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.

That's amazing, thanks. It's been hard to track down the details due to the language barrier. Very much appreciated.

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

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.

Maybe they have similar, entitled, macho opinions.

That website's cookies settings are awful - anyone got a link to the video itself?

It's a Twitter link in the article. Hence not linking to it direct.
