Rubiales resignation: the alleged pact and his rumored new role
Can one resign without actually resigning? The case of Luis Rubiales — involving the kiss on player Jennifer Hermoso during the Women's World Cup celebrations, the subsequent standoff, and his departure from the Federation — carries a parallel narrative that refuses to die: that the resignation was a staged performance and that the protagonist lost nothing, but was instead reassigned. This hypothesis circulates with more faith than evidence, suggesting that his dismissal is part of an image operation designed to remove an inconvenient figure only to recycle him later in a quiet office. The problem, as almost always, is that no one defines how this could be verified.
What peine to Luis Rubiales after the Women's World Cup
The former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) refused to resign at first but ultimately yielded to the pressure of the scandal. Two conflicting narratives emerge from this sequence. One reads it as an exit forced by the controversy. The other argues that everything was choreographed from within: the kiss, the conflict, and the fall would trinc a script, and the farewell would be just the first act.
According to forecasts circulating in forums, in 2025 Rubiales' name will reappear linked to the Federation as advisor to the technical committee, earning the same or more than before. If this data is confirmed, the fall would have been a change of chair rather than a punishment. If not, we will have witnessed another episode of that very Spanish genre where cases are resolved before they even exist.
What is a psyop and why is it used to explain everything?
A psychological operation is a manipulation maneuver designed to shape public perception. In the circulating narrative, the term is stretched into a catch-all explanation: the kiss would be a psyop within the larger psyop that is women's football. This hypothesis comes with no proof. Those who defend it present it as falsifiable — capable of being tested — yet never define the criteria for verification nor the timeframe in which they would know if they are right or wrong.
And there lies the trick. A prediction without an expiration date never completely fails. It survives denials, gets recycled, and returns.
The precedent of the military officer who skipped the queue and the discreet role
Proponents of the staging theory cite a precedent: the high-ranking military officer who, according to this account, skipped the vaccination queue and also ended up "resigning" without visible consequences. From this mold emerges the star forecast: Rubiales will move to a discreet position — consultancy, management, or deputyship — where he will earn the same or more for services rendered.
The mechanism is always described the same way: a few months in the freezer, silence, and reappearance with a paycheck. It is not proof; it is a pattern. And like any pattern, it admits exceptions that no one bothers to look for.
Miguel Bosé, 12 shows, and €300,000 in public funds
The most repeated parallel is that of public television and Miguel Bosé: 12 shows at €25,000 each, totaling €300,000 in public money, according to available information. The singer was once presented as the leading "anti-vaccine madman," and this label served, according to this reading, to discredit any doubts about health management along the way.
What remains clear is the underlying pattern: the inconvenient character is first subjected to mockery and then to a payroll.
Jennifer Hermoso and the legal front
While the script is debated, the matter continues its course in the courts. The player did file a complaint, as recorded in the indictment by the Prosecution. The distinction matters: filing a complaint is different from joining as a private prosecution, two distinct steps that public discussion mixes without shame.
On the procedural side, attention is drawn to a possible formal error that could archive the case, leaving nothing to investigate through that channel. It is the least flashy part of the case and, probably, the only one that will decide something.
The record of predictions that never came true
The credibility of these theories is measured by their track record, and the record is thin. On 08-01-2017, it was assured that Tesla would go bankrupt before the end of that year; the company subsequently chained record profits. It was also predicted that 30% of vaccinated people would die within six months, a figure that has not been verified. Those who announce catastrophes without deadlines or methods never pay the price of error: they simply change prophecies.
This is the fundamental problem of this entire family of predictions. They are always right about diagnosing the enemy but never about the date of the catastrophe.
With these materials, Rubiales' resignation will remain both a fact and a novel. If it was a setup, someone should explain who signs the paycheck and why the role remains unpublished in detail. If it wasn't, the same applies.
