[Jordi]

Ich liebe diese Karikaturen.

[El corredor]

Ist das beste für Ihm und den Verein.Ja das stimmt bei uns ist immer was los,das gehört eben genau so zu uns wie unsere Titelsammlung.

Ich hätte nichts dagegen wen Perez wieder kommt..

Hab auf youtube ein Video von besagter Sitzung gefunden. Die Ultras Sur sind die freundlichen Herren im oberen Rang. Ich denke mal, man braucht nicht unbedingt Spanisch zu können um zu kapieren, wie das abgelaufen ist.

Ich wünsch den weißen Äffchen ja alles Schlechte, aber jemanden wie Calderon hat nicht einmal der Hauptstadtverein verdient.

Der Herr mit dem Schild bei Minute 2 forder übrigens eine geheime Abstimmung per Urnengang. Die "hijo de puta" Rufe von Oben braucht man glaub ich nicht weiter kommentieren.

Die Zeichen stehen schon sehr auf Perez als Nachfolger und wenn er sich wirklich bewirbt, wird er wohl wieder Präsi von Real werden.

Wird sicherlich eine spannende Sache wenn es soweit ist, da wird sicherlich auch noch einiges an Schmutzwäsche gewaschen werden.

Calderon wird aber sicherlich noch lange in den Köpfen der Real Fans ein Begriff sein, als einer der schillernsten Präsidenten!

Pérez To Promise Kaká And Wenger For Real Madrid

Florentino Pérez is set to repeat his trick of nine years ago by promising a big-name star in order to woo voters at this summer's presidential elections at Real Madrid, and also promises to land a world class trainer too.

Kaká will become Real Madrid's new Luis Figo as Florentino Pérez prepares to promise the Spanish club's supporters that the Brazilian will join the club if he is re-elected as president.

The former supremo has will also pledge that Arséne Wenger will be the new coach, according to reports in Spain.

The construction magnate took at the Bernabéu in 2000 after promising to prise Figo from Barcelona and he fulfilled that in a mega-deal that stunned the football world.

Now Pérez is back three years after standing down and he is ready to sign Kaká in order to regain control. He has reached a secret agreement with Milan supremo Silvio Berlusconi about the player's upcoming move, El Mundo Deportivo state.

Madrid will not be able to match the incredible financial package that Manchester City were rumoured to have prepared, but the attraction of playing for such an illustrious club has already persuaded the Brazilian.

Pérez is said to have agreed a deal worth around €80m for Kaká, but that is only part one of his plan to persuade supporters to vote for him at the club's presidential elections in the summer.

Arsene Wenger is set to be offered the duel role of head coach and general manager in a bid to persuade him to move to the Spanish outfit with the same duties that he currently has at Arsenal.

It would be a radical move for Madrid with the continental system being done away with and the traditional English style where one man controls everything.

The report plays on both Kaká's alleged comments about only ever wanting to leave Milan if Madrid came in for him and also Wenger's discomfort at the current situation behind the scenes at the Emirates.

Pérez introduced the Galácticos policy at Madrid, but sweeping changes in 2003 when 16 players were sold saw divisions and problems ensue and many stated that they were glad when it ended.

If he were to regain control, then there could be a revolt against a system that saw players picked for the team on their star factor rather than form or fitness.

Despite that, he did enjoy incredible success with his aggressive approach to signing players as Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and David Beckham were all cajoled into moving to the club.

EMD sagt, dass Perez tatsächlich eine Einigung erzielt hat. Das ist nicht Marca oder AS, sondern eine gute Quelle. Ich glaube es zwar nicht, aber es deutet darauf hin, dass er schon daran arbeitet.

[MUSCA Chairman]

ja bei seinem damaligen Amtsantritt bzw. vor der Wahl hat er es ja genauso gemacht, und es hat funktioniert.

Insofern sich verschiedene Medien nicht absprechen gibt das schon interessante Aufschlüsse.

In den Medien wird ja Beckham zitiert dass Kaka zu Real will, sich bei ihm erkundigt hat und auch deswegen nicht zu ManCity ging weil er nach dieser Saison zu Real will.

Perez damit natürlich einen riesen-Deal machen will und sich so ins Amt bringen will.

Wenn Kaka dann nämlich wirklich zu Real will, wird es ungleich schwieriger ihn zu halten, zu ManCity wollte er ja selber nicht!

Mal sehen wie das noch weitergeht...

Pérez heralded as the 'saviour' of Real Madrid

Ramón Calderon was so hapless that the almost certain return of Florentino Pérez as Real Madrid president can't come soon enough for the fans and media

When Ramón Calderon was forced to resign as president of Real Madrid last Thursday, he described his departure as a "victory for evil and injustice". The remark, delivered through tears and in a breaking voice, showed just how deeply paranoid he had become, how bitterly he judged those who manoeuvred against him. It revealed, above all, the extent to which he felt defeated by the hidden man who stood to profit most from his disgrace.

Thursday may have saddened Calderón but it did not entirely surprise him; he always believed an assault would come. His greatest failing was that he made his enemies' job so very easy. From the day he took over, the president saw conspiracy at every turn.

He complained of a media campaign conducted against him, particularly by radio station Cadena Cope, and the newspapers El Mundo and Marca, both part of the Unidad Editorial group – despite the unconditional toadying of one Marca columnist. He complained of deliberate leaks from within the club, of secret recordings and bugs. What he never did was provide proof of any of it. And certainly not of the Machiavellian hand that he imagined pulling strings in the darkness.

For Calderón one sinister figure cast a longer, darker shadow than any other. Rarely has the word nemesis been so apt. In his troubled mind, evil and injustice were synonyms for the former president Florentino Pérez. Calderón, seemingly terrified, convinced himself that Pérez was behind every problem he faced and took every opportunity to attack him. Pérez, for his part, kept his distance and maintained a discreet silence. He said nothing; maybe he did not want to, maybe he recognised that he did not need to.

Certainly, his silence wound Calderón up more. It could have been that Pérez really wasn't interested – he had left Madrid, his wife was seriously ill, his company ACS, one of the world's biggest, had to find a strategy to face the global financial meltdown, particularly acute in Spain's construction industry – but Calderón would never believe that. He must be up to no good! If Calderón was right then it was a desperately uneven battle: Pérez played the wily fox; Calderón, a headless, hysterical chicken.

Calderón's paranoia became uncomfortably, almost pathetically palpable when Pérez appeared in public for the first time in three years. While Calderón was facing white hankies at home, a photo appeared in the press of Pérez and Zinedine Zidane before a charity match in Morocco. The Madrid midfielder Javi García shrugged at what he considered a "normal", innocent photo between two men who know each other. Calderón could not agree less.

It is a photo that is likely to be repeated this summer. It is also a photo that sent Calderón into a spin, ranting about how Pérez was a trouble-seeking opportunist, only appearing at times of crisis. "I would have liked to have seen him when things were going well," he snapped. Everyone, Calderón added, is quick to recall photos of Pérez with Zidane and Ronaldo, or Figo, or Beckham, but "what I'd like to see is the photo of him presenting [failed Italian signing Antonio] Cassano."

Never mind the fact the photo he would like to see does not exist – Pérez did not present Cassano; the man who did was Ramón Calderón, then a director – it revealed just how great was his paranoia. Imagine if Pérez had actually said anything.

And yet just because Calderón was paranoid did not mean they were not out to get him. Just because Calderón was paranoid did not mean Pérez – a stunningly wealthy, enormously influential man with friends in government, industry and throughout the media – was not planning a comeback.

And if he wasn't already doing so, it might have been Calderon's very paranoia that encouraged Pérez to return. It was certainly his paranoia and desperation – a desperation that has contributed decisively to the disastrousness of his presidency – that paved the way for that comeback.

Marca's demolition of Calderón was fantastically handled, the evidence arrayed against him damning, successful and unanswerable. It did little to dispel the outgoing president's paranoia; not just because it destroyed him but because of who it benefited.

New president Vicente Boluda was interviewed by the newspaper upon taking charge. The quote that Marca chose to run on its cover? "Florentino's management of the club was magnificent". Its last two covers have been: "Kaka is waiting for a call from Florentino, says Carlo Ancelotti"; "Kaka would only go to Madrid with Florentino, says Roberto Carlos".

This from the paper that had already claimed Ronaldo had reached an agreement with Pérez – even while Calderón occupied the presidential chair. Three out of four covers bolstering the reputation of a man who has not even declared an intention to stand, or even opened his mouth, yet one with whom the paper has maintained a close relationship over the last month.

Calderón was right: Pérez signed Cassano too. But it is the photo of Zidane that everyone remembers and it is the Frenchman who will likely accompany him on the campaign trail this summer. Three years of failure have been largely forgotten; the final disastrous collapse of galacticism swiftly glossed over. Calderón hasn't made Pérez look good, he has made him look brilliant. He signed Figo, Zidane, and Ronaldo; Calderón did not sign Kaka, Cesc or Ronaldo.

The undisputed winner in Calderón's departure is Pérez, who now has the support of fans, and the now unmasked backing of the media. His return has been beautifully set up. Everyone, bar him, is talking about it; he has not had to campaign, everyone else is doing it for him. He will now be able to return as a "saviour", apparently reluctant, apparently an act of abnegation – a service to the club.

And with Pérez comes players. Big players. Or at least the unuttered promise of them, the threat to other clubs. Manchester City's failure does not look a coincidence now; United's ability to throw off a bid for Ronaldo does not look so steadfast. Former Madrid sporting director Arrigo Saachi today insisted that "Perez will return and he'll go for the three [Messi, Ronaldo, and Kaka]", just as Ancelotti and Roberto Carlos had already said of Kaka.

Sacchi did fire a warning, telling Pérez to stick to being a president. It is a telling remark: Pérez subverted the normal rules of sporting success, distrusting his staff, interfering where he should not and going through four directors of football, six coaches and 20 players in just three years. But it is a warning that has fallen on deaf ears; only the "Kaka will join Madrid" part really registered.

Calderón was a president defined by the star players he didn't sign, Pérez by the star players he did. And so it is that, incredibly, everything else – from the arrogance to the failure, the instability to the farce – has been forgiven. It appears now that everyone is simply waiting for Pérez to come out and admit what is an open secret: that he will make a comeback and no one will stand in his way. So far he has not said a word; when he does, it is likely to be the last word.

perez ich hasse ihn,...es gibt mit ihm bestimmt den schnellen erfolg, aber wenn er geht, hinterlässt er wieder einen veralteten sehr dünnen kader und die scheisse fängt von neuen an

@ kaka das hab ich auch schon über christiano ronaldo gelesen. er ist angeblich befreundet mit ihm und hat mit ihm ein mündliches abkommen das er nur zu REAL gehen soll wenn PEREZ im amt ist.

mmn ist wenn überhaupt einzig messi der den ich in madrid gern sehen würde, aber dadurch das barca ihn hat sowieso bullshit, kommt im leben nicht zustande der transfer...

ps: die eine zeile im beitrag von rahzel triffts genau. if he were to regain control, then there could be a revolt against a system that saw players picked for the team on their starfactor rather than form or fitness. das hab ich schon damals so gehasst, das florentino die aufstellung gemacht hat und nicht der trainer.......er war es auch der etoo vertrieben hat und unsere jugend komplett vernachlässigt hat.....
