Benitez to be sacked

Rafa to Valencia?????

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the banner the Valencia fans unfurled thanking him for his time managing them. Not beyond the realms of possibility. Valencia can take their time and see how Gary Neville gets on while quietly feeling out Rafa in the background. If Neville is a roaring success, then happy days. If he isn't, then hello Rafa.

In fairness the same poster also reckons Abramovich is somehow worse than Perez which says it all really.

Real are a shambles of a club. Becoming more and more despicable every year. Almost as bad as Chelsea now.

Look at Barcelona - the way a club should be run.

What?????

In debt up to their eyes + struggling to get enough in the bank to pay wages every so often, dodgy tax deals as well, but all will be grand when they kick the president out as the new el presidente will get a few backers to buy a big name and repeat the process, a great model Clap

Surely they knew his normal defensive tactics were always going to be at odds with their reputation for attacking football played by some of the top stars in the game? Really don't understand that appointment myself.

As mad as it sounds who would want it? In the last 3 or 4 years they have chewed through some of the worlds finest managers. Their "fans" turned on Ronaldo last year for going 2 or 3 games without scoring. Its a joke shop of a place and there`s no way as a manager to come out of there with an enhanced reputation.

If you make a balls of it you`re rightly slated and if you win all around you well its "Real" that's the minimum you should be doing.

So true. Even if you win titles you still get sacked the next day.

The most ridiculous case I remember was Vicente Del Bosque being sacked in 2003, a day or two after winning La Liga, having won either it or the Champions' League in each season he was in charge and with attacking entertaining football. Any other club would be delighted with a record like that and be beating down a path to his door with a new contract for him to sign, but no, that wasn't good enough for Real Madrid! You really couldn't make it up!

As you say, a joke shop of a club.

Just googled Del Bosque 1999 -2003

2000 - champ league
2001 - La Liga
2002 - champ league
2003 - La Liga

A few cups too.....And sacked!

Mental stuff

The king is sacked. Lets sack the new king.

Goodness they could not sack him when they won 10-2 and had to wait until they dropped points . Hope he gets a massive pay off .

Benitez isn't a great manager though

I could see this happening from the moment he was appointed

Its very frustrating being a Slob

Joke of a club.

Perez was asked why he sacked Ancellotti about three months ago, he didn't know.
