Real Madrid Involved In Another Messy Affair With Spanish FA

Real Madrid have embarrassingly been kicked out of this season’s Copa Del Rey by the Royal Spanish Football Federation’s (RFEF) competition committee judge, Francisco Rubio Sanchez.

Real Madrid were expelled from the competition because they fielded an ineligible player in Dennis Cheryshev in a 3 – 1 win over third-tier side Cadiz.
The winger received a three yellow cards in last season’s competition while on-loan at Villareal which automatically translates to a one-match ban. Madrid however claimed they did not receive any fax regarding his suspension.
The capital club have however been expelled from this season’s competition and fined 6,001 euros (£4,300).
Real Madrid last won the competition in 2014 when they defeated Barcelona 2 – 1 in a highly entertaining final. Barcelona won the trophy in 2015.
Real Madrid said in a statement: “The competition judge acknowledges that Cheryshev was not personally notified about his ban.
“Real Madrid CF can verify the acknowledgement that the Spanish Football Federation did not personally notify Cheryshev about his ban, which is the only way the ban can take effect.
“We at Real Madrid CF stand by our argument and will take the appropriate action to ensure that the final outcome is favourable for the club.”
According to Marca Real will appeal to the RFEF and, if necessary, the country’s sport court, TAD.
Cheryshev, 24,  and coach Rafael Benitez said he was immediately removved after the error was noted to “show good faith”.
Cheryshev scored the opening goal in the 3 – 1 over Cadiz.

Cash-strapped National Assembly has resorted to bank facilities to pay its staff their monthly salaries and allowances.But the facilities do not include the controversial running cost paid to lawmakers, as well as the salaries and allowances for their aides. About N4.5 billion is spent on the running cost of lawmakers in the two houses of the National Assembly. The sum of N13.5 million is paid to each senator while a member of the House of Representatives gets a little above half of this. The balance is paid out to legislative aides. In anger last week, legislative aides rose in protest against the non-payment of their salaries and allowances. Several sources yesterday confirmed the resort to bank overdrafts to pay salaries of “strictly National Assembly staff,” but the Director of Information to the National Assembly, Mr. Ishaku Adamu Dibal, said he was not aware of the development that had happened at least twice in the past. It was gathered that August and September...
