COYBL25 · May 26, 2015

Press statement from Madrid - deal 99% done, just have to meet with a supporters group this week.

This is gonna end badly !

We all know he's going to turn Real Madrid down, he's waiting for the Liverpool job.

They even won at the Bernabeu.

He's good at cups isn't he?

They want the Champs League. It's the only thing they care about at that club

He's got a decent chance of winning it with that side

Same here mate. From what I read the fans aren't happy, which is setting him up to fail from day one. Plus their board likes managers that do what they're told, which ain't Benitez at all. Also Ancelotti appears to have been very popular with the players. Like I said, this is going to end badly.

Yup, queue the exodus of players.

You do wonder if it's been done to clamp down on the Egos and player power that seem to be running the Real Dressing Room.

It's the board saying, here's you next manager. Lump it.

Could be very amusing...

Ancelotti was popular with the players. Will make it an uphill struggle for Benitez I think

The board literally can't abide going one whole season without winning anything, seems a bit mad. They're going to run out of managers with European pedigree in a few years' time. Rafael's a winner to be fair, but I can't imagine his brand of football is going to go down well with the army of meffs who support that team.

Shares in white hankies have tripled in price on the back of this news..

Strange one. Real Madrid can take their pick of the worlds best players and coaches. They don't even have to try. The worlds best usually jump at the chance and so Benitez is strange one.

Only fans of Real Madrid I ever see are the little One Direction look a like twitter bashers who say they support Real Madrid despite never having been within 100 miles of a football in their entire lives!
