Real Madrid News - AKA The Schuster Deathwatch Thread

He will come to us one day.

 

I dont like this decision at all. Schuster asked for a forward and a winger during the off season, and he got neither of those. Instead we lost Robinho and have quite a few injuries. Can he really be expected to win La Liga with this team right now considering all the injuries? I remember with Capello we were all screaming at his line-ups and left scratching our heads. Schuster IMO was always fielding a good lineup and was doing a good job, just unlucky this season, and management mismanaging the transfers in the off season led us to this position. They should be fired, not Schuster.

That being said, Ramos is a very good coach also and will do good things, until he loses a few games and then hes fired.

 

Juande has a tradition (even in his most successful years in Sevilla) of only signing for one season at a time.

 

I disagree, sacking Schuster was not a must.

Take a look at the big picture. This is our eight !! coach from 2003/2004 season on. One would thought that Calderon learned something from Perez mistakes but apparently he didn't.


Benitez at Real Madrid. Just stop it please, have you ever seen the style of football Liverpool plays ?? I would rather bring back Capello and pay him 20 mio per season than watch Benitez one minute as a coach of Real Madrid. Also his transfer policy is as bad as it gets with couple exceptions.

But Ok now we have a new coach. He will want some new players to fit into his system. Basically we are where we were two years ago. Yes, team is younger but I expect many changes in near future.

That said, I think that Ramos could be a good coach for us . He is strict and while with Sevilla they were one of the best organized teams in Europe. But with Sevilla he had an amazing sport director, something he won't find here.

 

Not in my life I hope. Can't imagine a worse disaster! May be the Portuguese whiner can be equally bad!

 

One day you will admit you were wrong.

 

Same here. His style of football is disgusting, I would rather see Capello taking over again than Benitez. Not to mention that his transfer policy is a complete mess (with a few exceptions )

 

His style is over criticised...his Valencia teams were capable of playing some superb football...their taking apart of Liverpool in the CL (the game that apparently won him the job a few years later) was a masterclass in pass and go football.
His football is certainly more open and better to watch than Capello's or Mourinho's.

 

Well...well...well... Laudrup

Ramos hired: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/7773422.stm

With all your infinite knowledge and wisdom, turns out you were wrong
Allrightie then, let the flaming begin.

Just read it and post still stands.

I think it would've been smarter to keep Schuster on till Xmas break though, but alas

 

I have the day he signs for us played out in my mind already...and it is beautiful I tell you I HEART Rafa (Benitez that is)

And it would appear on the surface anyway those things were taken into consideration and he was given a stay of execution...which he promptly threw away....

Schuster's line-up choices (substitutions,etc) IMO were questionable at best this season even with the injuries...

 

I watched his Valencia side but I didn't see any pass and go football back then! All I saw was a quick-fire run from Claudio Lopez down the flank, a damn precise long range pass from Mendieta, and a goal. Afterwards, ladies and gentlemen, you can switch your bloody TVs off because no more football will be played tonight. That's what I saw and that's what Benitez' football is all about. For all the time I've been watching football (quite a long time), I've never witnessed more negative approach to the game than that of Benitez.

 

Confirmed, Ramos is the new coach.

its confirmed like 5 hours ago on ESPN

goal.com is way too late

anyway

i hope he brings his first victory against Zenit come tommorow

give us a good start Ramos!

cant wait for his formation and tactics

 

The post was directed at Laudrup, the BBC link was kinda irrelevant.
Does it matter whether I use a Marca or BBC link anyways???!!

Seems you have comprehension problems, the gist of the post was to reveal Laudrup's knowledge of football (or complete lack thereof)

Try to keep up

 

What I wanted to say, Officially confirmed! The link is to realmadrid.com not goal.com

 

I'm the one who is blatantly guilty of saying the only way Schuster gets sacked is a first round UCL exit.

Seriously, though, as a supporter of stability in the club at almost any cost, even I found myself after Sunday's loss believing something needed to be done. I'm a bit shocked to see it come four days before el clasico, but it could very well be a blessing in disguise. How? Not sure

Schuster, as stated by others, seemed to know the inevitable was upon him and his attitude compounded by results just sort of sped things up a bit, much to his delight I'm sure. Was he given a fair shot? I'm not certain he was... but he didn't get the reinforcements he wanted in the summer, but the squad is still loaded with talent, and despite the adversity of injuries etc his job was to figure it out and get results, whether through brilliant football or fighting in the trenches.


On to Juande Ramos...bienvenidos y que ganemos el clasico!

 

ugh Laurdrup was right, we should have sacked shuster after the valladolid game.

 

Great recollection of Benitez's football...apart from the fact that both Lopez and Mendieta had left Valencia before Benitez arrived.

I love it when people form an opinion without bothering to trouble reality.
