The decision to grant a precautionary measure to Barcelona, thus allowing the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, has sparked criticism from all corners of Spanish football. Las Palmas is the last club to speak out on the matter, and has also disagreed with the measures adopted by the Higher Sports Council (CSD).
On Thursday, they issued a strongly worded statement on the matter.
“The resolution issued yesterday by the Higher Sports Council (CSD) has unpleasantly surprised us, and from UD Las Palmas we express our absolute disagreement. We consider that this decision represents a serious danger to the integrity of the competition and sets a worrying precedent that could destabilize the foundations of professional football in our country.
“It is especially striking that this resolution has been adopted with unusual speed, without giving rise to the presence or participation of La Liga and the RFEF, key actors in the management of Spanish football. This procedure has ignored previous decisions both by the CSD itself and by the courts, which generates a feeling of arbitrariness incompatible with the principles of transparency and equity that should govern any process of this type.
“At UD Las Palmas we urge that the effects of these measures be carefully reviewed and we trust that respect for the rules that guarantee the integrity of our competition will be restored. “UD Las Palmas reaffirms its commitment to defending fair, sustainable and balanced football, based on clear rules agreed upon by all clubs.”

There is no doubt that there is currently a lot of animosity in Spanish football over this decision, although Barcelona are unlikely to care much as they have got what they wanted (for the moment).
