Oh now they decide to sell Bale. Didn't Lopetegui want to sell him and the sign one MF and a striker, to which Perez denied?
I wonder how Real fans feel about this.
Florentino Perez should just give the managers the freedom to do whatever they want because his intrusion to their work is not good at all. He should be like Ed Woodward and manage the financial aspect of the and let the technical team do their worl.
I don't think the fans doubt his judgement and it is his decisions and interferences that has helped Madrid in the last 5 to 10 years to win all those European trophies. Some of his decisions were risky which could have gotten him out of power but they turned out to be good in the end (thus, all those players and his friend who later became coach could have brought him down if they hadn't chalked those successes.)
I don't think they can afford to sell Bale now unless they bring in Neymar and Hazard they need these two badly, only then can they become Europe elites again. In another expected news irrespective of the results Lopetegui head will roll, Antonio Conte is the man to replace him, but take my word he will just last till the season, that guy is a no nonsense guy, not really sure how suitable he's for the egoistic Madrid players.
In England it seems each match Mourinho has to come out and save himself which is kinda sad, I do hope results Imporve. However the biggest nightmare as a Manchester United fan is to realise De Gea can leave for free, or let's say club extends it for one year and then he leaves us, it'll be one of the worst decisions taken by the people at Manchester United.
