A 'Real' Shocker

Real Madrid have sacked their manager. Again. It's beginning to seem like a yearly tradition for the Spanish champions (yes, they won the league).

So what did Fabio Capello do to deserve the boot? Well, he failed to win the Champions League, even though last season they didn't win anything. That said, if he had brought the Champions League title to the club, as well as the Spanish title, he probably wouldn't be going.

Rumour has it, Capello may have been dismissed due to the David Beckham debacle. Allegedly, Madrid's board are angry at losing Beckham, as well as the many millions of Euros which he probably earns for the club, through shirt sales and sponsorship deals.

It all just seems like a knife in the back, for a man who brought them their first league title since 2003. However, I might send my CV in, anyway. You never know...

It's farcical. I am at a loss to understand why Calderón cannot see that this is an extremely risky decision that could land him on the street this time next year if it backfires. Continuity would have been the sensible course to follow. Capello managed to unite a disparate set of egos into something resembling a team with spirit and attitude. Schuster (if it is indeed he) will have his work cut out to do anywhere near as well. He may well have what it takes, but he hasn't shown it before.

I've seen this "rumour" about his sacking having something to do with David Beckham leaving. Capello was not responsible for stalling his contract negotiations and he only put him on the bench after Beckham said he had signed for the Galaxy, something he later retracted and apologised for doing, and something which I suspect was forced on him from above. Remember, the president called Beckham a "half-actor on his way to Hollywood", so this hardly looks like it was Capello acting on his own.
