Next Real Madrid manager | Glaston has a shocker
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
It's looking like the end of an era in Madrid. Ronaldo will leave soon and perhaps for the first time, people will see just how much his 50 goals a season and CL goalscoring displays count. A number of their key players are also advanced in age. Modric, Marcelo, Ramos etc.
And how do you impress fans who have just seen Zizou win three CL titles back to back to back?I don't envy the next manager.
Well, then you must also know that the general consensus on RedCafe regarding Benzema is that he's been 'protected' by Florentino Perez & Zidane since forever. So I don't really give much thought about it. Truth to be told is that Benzema has been extremely underrated/underappreciated of what he's done for Real Madrid over the years. The likes of Ronaldo, Modric, Marcelo, Ramos, Kroos, Casemiro, Navas, Varane, Isco, Bale etc. are consistently being praised whereas Benzema's performances gets under radar.
Of course Benzema will be seen as "shite" when you're comparing him with the likes of Suárez, Lewandowski, Icardi, Immobile, Cavani, Harry Kane and many other top class CFs. A comparison that shouldn't even take place in the first place because Benzema isn't an out-and-out striker anyway.
Cristiano is the oldest guy in RM-squad and cannot start & play every game any more, a big issue since RM team is still built to get the best out of him. Can't build a team around a striker who isn't available in every game. It's already time for Madrid to start draw the focus away from Cristiano's influence and building around a new player.
It actually does. Dunno if it is because I'm becoming a sad old bastard or because we've been spoiled with european trophies lately.
I see. Thanks for the honest insight
Replacing Fergie at the time was an impossible task but I’d say this is even more difficult.
Our fans are more forgiving than Real’s, whoever takes the job will get one season, get sacked and then they’ll have someone in to fix the mistakes made which will allow them more time.

I remember this feeling in 2001 when united won the league for the 6th time in 8 seasons. Then in 2003 after having not won it the year before I told myself never to take titles for granted again. Celebrate every one line it's the last.
I think the football gods need to test my resolve by handing united 4 European cups in five years
Guillem Balague says Pochettino is not going to RM. He's close to Pochettino, so if anybody is in the know in this matter, he is.
Presitige and titles or Money.
So he bottled the big time. which is indicative of his and his players
Ethos. It’s so refreshing when a manger is true to the traditions and culture of a club.
I wouldn't be a fan if it didn't. But that doesn't invalidate my point.That CL final loss cut you really deep, eh?
Its suicide going into Madrid this season, the new man cant win regardless and the squad altough very good is starting to age in key areas, I wouldn't want to be known as the manager who sold Ronaldo or somebody along those lines.
You'd spin it badly for Spurs either way. If he went to RM, you'd bang on about we'd lost the best manager we've had for a long time, and how all our best players will go with him.
But now that it's clear he's not going, you switch to a different tack.
But hey-ho, we Spurs fans are optimistic about the club's ongoing development and direction of travel ... sorry to disappoint you.
You seem to forget that Madrid did poorly in the CdR and lost the league by new years eve. What I don't see happening is either Conte or Pochettino without a major roster overhaul starting with Ronaldo. If they keep more or less the same squad, somebody like Wenger should be the frontrunner.
I guess he can polish himself more in a low expectation environment. I can't imagine how a manager would turn down a club of that stature and players to work for Levy.
True but knowing Madrid if the new guy won the league and failed in the CL he'd probably get fired
I thought he had connections with Barca not Madrid.
At the exception of one or two position, they already have the heirs, they need a striker and someone to plug in between Ronaldo and Vinicius. I think that the situation is overblown, whether you sign now or in 5 years you will be under huge pressure at Madrid.
He was the ghost writer for Pochettino's book "Brave New World: Inside Pochettino's Spurs" - the book that Pochettino was in Barcelona to promote when all the RM stories surfaced.
So he's obviously spent a lot of time with Poch. If he says RM is a non-starter, then it's a reliable source.
Legit.
I think Ballagué has not said that Pochettino does not want the job. He has spoken about the impediment that Levy supposes.
Pochettino speaks of "where football takes me", "when Madrid come you have to listen" when it could have been clear from the beginning.
That is, if Madrid speaks with Levy it is because his coach is open to leave.
If that's the case what will Levy do, say no indefinitely?

My only fear is that they go for Jardim instead of Pochettino, even though there was a rumor about Sarri to Monaco around March-April.
I don‘t think so. League was though for Madrid for the last decade or so, anybody winning it would have to underachieve greatly in the CL (group stage exit or lose to somebody the level of Wolfsburg/Besiktas) to get the sack. If anything expectations in the CL will be reduced.
Michael Laudrup's agent is pushing him for the job lol
Pochettino´s option has been ruled out

Poch is really regretting renewing his contract with Spurs that early isn't he ? I bet he thinks he was really stupid now.
Madrid suck. When they come for United, they're ruthless and absolutely persistent. Other clubs seem to be able to bat them away like a bit of dust
Klopp going to Madrid and taking Salah with him would be absolutely mental. A perfect ending to the Liverpool fairytale.
They're only persistent when they know the player / manager is set on joining them. De Gea is still here.
Klopp strikes me as a loyal guy, could’ve left Dortmund for other opportunities and stayed. I’m certain he will be at Liverpool next season.
Allegri would be a great hire but when you look at Juve’s squad and Madrid’s, I think he’s better off staying in Turin.

I'm sure Pochettino fancies managing Real Madrid but it would require for him to also actively push for the move and I really don't know about how much Klopp would fancy to manage Real Madrid right now. Anyway I'd rather him bring Firmino instead of Salah but don't see Klopp coming here so we might as well end up with Allegri.
Nice Fantasy Safe place narrative you have created for yourself there. Couldn’t give 2 fecks about him leaving you. It’s more that He would have shown some ambition and that would be admirable to make s ballsey move like that instead of comfort zone with nothing to show for it.
I don’t have to use him leaving you as a reason to ridicule you I could just use the endless decades of you winning feck all yo do that. Or perhaps the “trajectory” spiel that you claimed was going in your favour because of your league position only to finish well behind us this season and won feck all again despite us regularly Winning Trophies and getting to finals.
But hey ho don’t let that get in the way of your delusion...
They might bring in a sacrificial goat as manager to do the chopping and changing that needs to be done, before they fire him and go for Poch later on?
It’s only Ronaldo being sold will be that taboo but there is little chance that oils need to be the case for a couple of years at least.
Great news for Spurs if that's true.
I think they'll Real Madrid will end up with Conte.
