Olmo was granted provisional registration, and the credibility of Spanish football was severely damaged

The reporter reported coldly On January 8, Barcelona successfully granted Olmo and Victor provisional registration for up to three months by appealing to Spain's Supreme National Sports Council. Barcelona president Joan Laporta and the club were overjoyed, but the Spanish Football Federation, professional leagues, the media and even most fans, including some Barcelona fans, expressed anger and concern about the reversal of the Olmo registration crisis.

Olmo and Victor were granted provisional registration, resulting in the La Liga salary cap rules becoming a piece of paper. Other small and medium-sized clubs that had to sell players first in order to make room for salary in order to comply with the rules have said they will protest, in addition to small clubs such as Leganes and Getafe, which were also unable to register players but did not get temporary registration, there are also Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Villarreal and so on.

The Spanish Professional League issued a statement strongly protesting, arguing that the Spanish Supreme Sports Council should consult the Football Association and the professional leagues before making a decision, according to the rules, and this process will take at least five days. However, the professional league announced that the Supreme Sports Council of the Nation did not transfer Barça's appeal documents to the professional leagues and the Spanish Football Federation, nor did it give the professional leagues and the football federations a chance to present their opinions, and unilaterally made a decision to allow Olmo and Victor to register temporarily.

Both the Spanish Football Federation and the Professional League have made it clear that both sides have previously rejected the provisional registration applications of the two players and revoked their registrations. The Pro League does not recognise the granting of provisional registration to the two players and will appeal after a thorough study of Barça's appeal documents.

The president of the professional league, Tebas, sharply criticized the provisional registration as "absurd", stressing that the move was not only a procedural irregularity, but also a blatant disregard for previous court jurisprudence. The announcement of the Supreme Council of Sport of the People's Republic of China emphasized that "players have the right to play", but did not mention the clause in the statutes of the Spanish Football Federation that deprived players of their registration qualifications. The provisional registration is also contrary to the provisions of the Spanish Sports Law that support the financial fairness of La Liga and control the healthy development of clubs.

Tebas stressed that the Supreme Sports Council of the Nation, and its president in particular, seems to have been trying to break down the rules that are supported by the majority of clubs in La Liga, "The president listens to only one voice, but that voice does not represent the majority of professional football in Spain. The guests of TV Channel 6 were even more blunt, saying that if it is a Getafe player, will they still be temporarily registered on the grounds that "the player has the right to play"? The answer is no – at the beginning of 2014, Pedro León was unable to register due to the same financial fairness violations as Getafe and Barcelona, and could only stay up until July to register successfully, enjoying the treatment of "provisional registration". After that, he sued the professional league for three years for violating the Competition Act, losing the case twice. Barça, on the other hand, was granted provisional registration from a government agency after losing the court, which was obviously not convincing to the public.

Confederation B (4th division) club Moscardo bluntly said that the provisional registration was irresponsible and discriminatory treatment by the governing body, which led to a loss of trust in the Spanish football system. Because the salary cap rules are clear and uncontroversial, after the courts, professional leagues and football associations refused to register three times, the Supreme Sports Council of the State, as a government agency, granted Barcelona a temporary registration status, which damaged the credibility of Spanish football.

Olmo and Victor's provisional registration will last up to three months, during which time the Supreme National Sports Council will fully investigate Barça's 52-page appeal and 60-page PowerPoint presentation before making a final decision. If they lose the case, both players will still not be able to register until at least July 1. But what Marca believes is not the length of the temporary registration, but the violation of the rules of the Football Association and the professional leagues by the Supreme Sports Council of the State, a government agency, which has turned the rules into a dead letter and in fact treats different clubs differently.

The newspaper "As" pointed out that after the "Negreira scandal" in which Barcelona paid the top management of the referee for 17 years, the registration case of Olmo will become the second. This scandal has made Barcelona a special case that is not subject to the Financial Fair Play Act. As soon as this precedent is set, other Spanish clubs will inevitably follow suit, and the relevant rules will no longer be binding. What's more, the professional leagues and the Spanish Football Federation no longer have the final say on the rules within the Spanish football industry, which is probably the biggest crisis caused by the reversal of the Olmo registration crisis.
