Rubiales makes a promise of long-term contract renewal to Jorge Vilda. 'I invite you to stay with us for the next four years, earning half a million euros a year.'

Rubiales speech - 'did you really think I was going to resign over a peck' - is one of the most surreal moments in the history of football. Everything about this is quite mad and has brought immense shame upon Spanish football.

It is not hyperbole to say that this Rubiales speech - both in its tone and content - is more damaging than anything that has gone before it this week. It is deeply bizarre and outright dangerous. A dark day for Spanish football, applauded by both national team managers.

Jorge Vilda's entire coaching career has been in the Spanish FA. Luis de la Fuente has been employed solely by the Spanish FA for the past 10 years. Their support of Rubiales and their positions as national team managers is not coincidental. Today should never be forgotten.

On Sunday, the Spanish FA falsified a statement from Jenni Hermoso to cover-up an abuse of power. Bombshell reports said her family and teammates were pressurised on the flight home to support Rubiales. This involves multiple individuals in positions of power.

Luis Rubiales is vice-president of UEFA. Five days on from this incident and in the aftermath of this spectacularly aggressive and obnoxious speech, will UEFA acknowledge any of this? Will the majority of LALIGA clubs - including Barcelona and Real Madrid - who remain silent?

Former Spain boss LUISENRIQUE has refused to criticise Luis Rubiales. Luis Enrique says: 'Rubiales has done a fantastic job at the Spanish FA. He has admitted that he has made mistakes, so my opinion on the matter is not necessary.'
