If you actually think about it, no European club has established itself as a dominant force in Europe during Real's hiatus. When the giant wakes it will rule for years cause Real tends to do the Champs League thing in bundles. Remember it was a ten year gap between ManU's two Euro Cups which means if Real wins this thing before 2012 they'll have done better while being a "circus". You are not fit to speak ill of this institution friend.

Shaheen6/2/2009 12:11 PM: For all their pedigree, it's sad that the club is run like a Circus.... A new coach year in year out. And winning the league is enough to get you sacked? Ask Cappello...
