Fernando Mendes, CMTV commentator, publicly criticized the actions of the Portuguese Professional Football League. The commentator expressed his disagreement with the way the League manages and applies its sanctions to clubs.

According to Fernando Mendes, the League should use the money from the fines it imposes on clubs to help the smaller clubs in Portuguese football. The commentator considered that many of these fines are unnecessary.
