Florentino Pérez master of cermonies at Real Madrid Once Again

mike65

They do love the three ring circus at the Bernabeu, Maurice Pelligrini looks like being next manager. Half the top managers across Europe will spend the summer issuing statements denying they are selling their star players to them.

Oh brilliant.
"Real Madrid to buy everyone! For huge sums of money!" all summer long.

gimmick

Perez, in all likelihood, will make once bumper signing. He has probably leaned from his folly last time out.

The big story will be if Pelligrni takes over as manager. A great manager in the Arsene Wenger school. Done wonders with Villareal.

Which player(s) did Pérez use to flagship his campaign for presidency?

I'm thinking Alonso, Febergas and C.Ronaldo

gimmick

Figo if memory serves.

PHB

Kaka is the big one

Kaka and Ribery were the main two mentioned iirc. Ronaldo was seen as his rival's trump card, and Perez doesn't want to be seen to be simply doing what the other did.

Ribery I could see happening.

A summer of unsettling and speculation begins!

I thought Cristiano Ronaldo was a , and I quote "Done deal" about 3 months ago?:)

Hopefully he can shake things up across Europe and along with Barca put an end to this so-called Premiership dominance of the CL.

Kaka will sign, I think that's pretty much a certainty.

A Real v Barca CL final in Madrid next May sounds good.

Apparently Ramon Caledron (current president of Real) has a gentlemans agreement with Ronaldo and his agent, and apparently a fee also has been agreed (approx €80million) though it has also been said that if Perez gets elected he may try and renegotiate the price or just cancel the deal altogether as it would cost a small figure so he can bring in Ribery and Xabi Alonso instead

It's such an absurd way to run a football club, no long term strategy of what positions need to be built on.
The Galáctico experiment was a failure. It worked commerically but failed on the pitch.

If Ronaldo joins them for 80 million, or Kaka for 60 million or whatever, it'll just be a continuation of failed policies and won't see Madrid back in the CL final, it'll just see them with the same problems they've had before. They need a top class manager who really understands what the club needs and can convine Perez its what's needed to be bought.

I cannot see Kaka leaving for a few reasons.the appointment of Leonardo, the sale of Gourcuff and the retirement of Maldini. Leonardo was the reason he came to Milan in the first place so i doubt that he will leave when his friend becomes manager, milan might not be willing to let him leave since they dont have a natural replacement since they had to let go of gourcuff and with maldini retiring and endorsing Kaka to become club captain he should get the second vice captaincy spot at least and possibly the captaincy if ambrosini and gattuso arent up to playing that much this season

Commercially viable was never thought possible when that team was first put together but it worked out having Raul, Zidane and Ronaldo in the one team. It was incredible to see such a team together but it was working up until the money arrived at Chelsea and they sold Claude Makelele to them.
This upset the other players and it was the beginning of the end of the Galacticos. Commercially they continued to thrive or maybe got bigger as Beckham arrived the same year that Claude departed.
While Makelele was there they won a CL and two La Liga titles.
