To the Madrid fans who supported Carlo's sacking, do you still stand by that decision?

I don't think there are many.

Going to Villarreal and winning for any team seems to be very hard as ES post in the Lol Liga thread illustrated.

Just me? oh well.

Yes.

Perez is still the biggest problem though. Can't see us doing anything until he's gone.

Average in Napoli = good for Real
the Perez's logic

Well, he ran out of options. He basically hired and fired half the managers working today. Lowering his standards was something bound to happen at some point.

EDIT: I hear Brendan Rogers is expecting a call.

I think 99% of the Madrid fans thought Carlo deserved 1 more year. But under Flo logic... no trophies = you're fired regardless of circumstances.

Signing Bale ruined us. Having CR on the team was already difficult to begin with... and before CR fanboys go crazy... stats do not equal trophies. In his now 7 years, we have won 1 La Liga, 2 CDRs and 1 CL. The crazy thing is that he flopped in both CDR finals and the CL final. So really, he's only shown up big for 1 La Liga title.

I was here, sports. I read the posts of you guys.

Most of you didn't get tired enumerating the reasons why it's ok that Carlo gets fired.

Hey, once it happened, we weren't going to cry a river. Ranting and raving wouldn't do anything. As a fan, you try to find reasons for it and then you move forward. Before the actual firing, most wanted him to stay an extra year.

Definitely did not want Rafa Benitez as the replacement in our worst nightmares Laughing

In terms of alternatives, we were talking about Klopp and even Conte. Never did any of us think Benitez was the right choice. I actually remember Liverpool fans trying to defend him as many of us were utterly shocked and wondered why the frak would you fire Carlo just to hire Rafa.

wasn't he injured for the CL and he didn't play in one of the CDR. The other CDR he scored the winning goal and is arguably his best performance against barca ever. At least point out obvious ones like against juve last CL or something

by sportsczy Mon Dec 14, 2015 1:11 am

Oh you didn't watch that CDR final against Barca... he was LUCKY he scored. He was pulling a "Bale" until then, missing freaking everything because he was trying to be the hero.

He wasn't injured for the CL final.

by Valkyrja Mon Dec 14, 2015 1:26 am

Bale was the only one of the BBC 100% in the CL final. Benzema and Cristiano were not fit.

by titosantill Mon Dec 14, 2015 1:49 am

there were some who wanted carlo out, because i remember being very critical of such a move, and asking those people who they suggest should replace him, then it all went a bit numb, until some suggested klopp, even though i feel we never had the personnel for him. then when rafa was touted as coming in, the general tone on ancelotti changed. btw some also wanted rafa, and preferred him to carlo.

i still lol when i remember people wanting rafa because he's spanish, grew up in madrid, and coached the youth team a million years ago. that being said, i doubt carlo's the solution. if florentino says he's going to sign x and sell y even if y's important to the team, and the manager doesn't feel the need to say anything but cater to the president's whims, it constitutes a long term problem. we still had our issues with him. my main reason for wanting him to stay was primarilly because he had the locker room. when a coach has that, its foolish to fire him. but that was probably not as bad as this, where the coach in rafa doesn't even know his best line up nor formation

No I did and he was very active that game and taking players on unlike now. How was he lucky he scored? Bale was not only missing clear chances but he was always losing the ball. I don't recall Ronaldo forcing much
