Real Madrid director Jorge Valdano has been sacked by the club, a move which hands full control of transfers over to manager Jose Mourinho.

Looks to me like Jose's managed to remove the fly from his soup and from now on will bring in the players he wants and not who Valdano decided on.

That's a bold statement by Real Madrid in the faith it is putting in Mourinho. Interesting.

Any other club I wouldn't batter an eye lid if Mourinho had his way with getting rid of staff but this I am truely surprised at. There has been rumours that Zidane has been playing peacekeeper at Real and helping Mourinho earn Perez's trust whilst ushering Valdano out but I still never thought that Perez would get rid of Valdano just like that.

It is all on Mourinho now, no excuses.

Good move by Madrid if there's one manager to give total control to it's Mourinho. He's there only chance of beating Barca so no surprise really get the politicians out of his way and let him do his thing.

Pretty stunned this happened so quickly. Alot more pressure on Mourinhoto achieve next season, but that's how he likes it I guess.

Huge statement from the club this, just to tell everybody that there's no way in hell Mourinho will leave this summer.

The pressure's sure is on Jose now! Huge gamble by Real M...and the only way Jose will justify his power games is by winning La Liga AND the CL next season. La Liga alone won't be enough most probably.
Thus said, the all-powerful is still the president, Perez - and he will let Jose know that in no uncertain terms. He's fired head-coashes in the past who've won La Liga or the CL.

I love the fact that deep down, you are literally shitting your tighty whities.


shitting what?? 5-0 2-0 in the bernabeu when it counted. he beat us in the stupid copa final when again we were far the better team and just uncklucky. 3 la liga in a row. if win tomorrow 3/4 champions league. they havent won it since 2002 or even got past the qf.


they can buy whoever they want. barca want fabregas,rossi, or neymar not exactly rubbish players. rosell and pep know barca need a bigger squad.

mourinho cant keep his mouth shut. the press hate him and love Pep. 4-3-3 beautiful football vs 4-6-0 put the game back 30 years football
