That would be plan.

However, similar plans have ended in tears all too often.

You are probably right. I guess they will never realise that the Del Bosque era was just about as successful as a club is going to get on the European stage with the way football is now, not to mention they played some of the best football ever.

I think the club will be after whatever can eventually surpass Di Stefano and Puskas, which is nothing. Ever. So Real will never change.

He’s probably not Dutch enough to be sexy in an election situation.
Ah, the question here: does he look sufficiently suave in a Real-branded suit? And does this standard mean that Marco van Basten should be the next Real manager?

What a club this is. They sacked Capello, Schuster and Del Bosque after they won league titles so Ramos is obviously in a ‘no win’ (will do!) situation here. It is very hard to fathom what the administration of this club is after. Its not like they are content with sustained results because Del Bosque had won them two league and two CL titles in his four years and was still shown the door.

Good point. He’s probably not Dutch enough to be sexy in an election situation.

If he somehow calls down a miracle, they’ll keep him around for another year;

Nah. They’ll fire him anyway. There are elections coming up, after all.
