# Manchester City: Fans celebrate La Liga president resignation after past sly comments

**After La Liga president Javier Tebas [announced his resignation](https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/la-liga/la-liga-president-tebas-resigns-seeks-re-election/article30146743.ece) from the role, with sly comments made about Manchester City in the past, supporters have been quick to celebrate the Spaniard’s exit and champion their chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.**

The two senior figureheads went into a war of words over the club’s validity and prestige on the footballing stage, with Tebas hinting last summer that City are a[‘danger to football’](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/tebas-man-city-real-madrid-16707563), as per the Manchester Evening News.

In response, speaking in an exclusive interview with [Manchester City’s official channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNdOw-yNIUM), chairman Khaldoon fired back with a jibe of his own, explaining how Tebas should look back at the history of La Liga and the ‘distortion’ that has happened through the ages.

As a result of the Spaniard’s exit from the role of president, City supporters have been quick to resurface the interview with Khaldoon as a reminder of Tebas’ conduct towards the club in the past.

Here’s how they went to war on Twitter.

> Don’t mess with Khladoon.
