A spokesman for the Premier League said that they were “disappointed” by BenÍtez’s comments.
He said: “The Premier League try to make sure that our dealings with all our member clubs, including the scheduling of fixtures, are as fair as possible.
“We are disappointed to read Rafael BenÍtez’s comments in the press, especially when channels exist for every member club to raise issues directly with the league.”
Translation.
Whenever we f'uck things up we would prefer it if the issue could be discussed quietly behind closed doors , there's no need to further embarrass us by publicly confirming that we couldn't organise a p'iss up in a brewery even if that fact is already well documented. Rafael Benitez could have sent us a private letter which we would have ignored ,the league would go on and everybody (well us at least) would be happy.We have cushy jobs to hold onto and highlighting our blatant unsuitability to run the most popular football league in the world is very disappointing .
