Mitcher is closest to the date. So he'd win.
Benitez sack watch? | Sacked

Didn't seem they were doing badly, strange club, but we've all seen it coming anyway.
Thought Navas might have saved his job for at least another week with that last minute block on Negredo, looks like he might be gone though.
Feel sorry for him.
Give it another six months and he'll probably be Real manager.
Crap I can't be far off the Benitez raffle.
Anyone got a link to the dates?

I for one hope Big sam's name comes up in discussions. Bringing the holding 451 to the Bernabaeu
See Threadmark.
I feel for Benitez. Even if it's Benitez.
This is absolutely bonkers.
Tbf, Big Sam is more suited to the likes of Real than Blackburn or Sunderland. He's just never had a chance.
Whats this say?
Only good thing to come of this is that Santiago Solari won't be on ESPN FC anymore.
Rafa is sacked, Zidane will be his successor and Santiago Solari will be Zidane's assistant.
I love big sam, never given the respect he deserves because he wasnt fashionable enough to be given a crack at the big boys.
Also Zidane will be a nice experiment to see how Giggs would fare, as its a preetty close comparison of the situation.
Rafa's been sacked, Zidane takes over. Solari is assistant.
Jonas Giæver: And here we go. Several now saying that Rafael Benítez has indeed been sacked as Real Madrid manager, and that Zinédine Zidane takes over.
There is expected to be an announcement later on today confirming this. Santiago Solari is rumoured to come in as Zidane's no.2.
Several Spanish outlets reporting that a press conference will be held at 17:30 Madrid time confirming all of this.
project zizou is nigh..
Real will sack Zidane in no time as well. Getting sacked by real is not the worst thing to happen.
Swap for lvg 
Who had Jan 4th on the sackwatch?
Didn't Zizou fail with the Castilla team?
No one. TheMitcher had January 1st, BootsyCollins had January 8th.
Twats could not hold on for 6 more days.
A defence against the dark arts teacher at hogwarts is more stable then being real's manager.
fecking hell, another sacking 
they are ruthless
they are ruthless13th coach since 2003.

Would be great if Madrid put Zidane in place and he flops big time. Would love to see how they / Perez handles that
He needed time, ask Moysie
Oh hell no.Swap for lvg
What's the point in waiting for a press conference. The whole world seems to know, just announce it on the website.
This. It was the most stupid thing we've done in a series of stupid things. Stupid.
they got rid of ancelotti for him
Surely it has to come to a point where top managers will refuse to work at that circus? Or is it just an easy payoff? Work for half a season then get paid millions to be sacked, good way of making money i guess.
It's funny because it's true.I'd be very interested in how Zidane would fare.
