Real Madrid is one of the few clubs in the world with the highest budgets. But will it be enough to survive? Or will soccer be the next area, after finance that will face problems? It is possible. Money or finance is not always enough to achieve the right results.
Management of a team (or department) is often part of a whole (organization). If one team doesn't perform well that doesn't mean the management is inadequate. Perhaps the problem resides in the complete organization.
Replacing a coach won't always be enough to change the course of events...
That is my problem with Real Madrid: the image of a club that can buy it all, but is not performing as such.
The question is whether a club can always be number one. I actually agree with Schuster, when he explained to the press that Barcelona is playing very well, this is the year of Barcelona and RM can only to their best. Was he too much of a pessimist? Was he too foolish to address the press like that in Spain? Was he playing with them, and With Barcelona who they will meet in "the Derby" this coming weekend? If you tell the press and the world that you are confident that you will win, how will that affect the rest of the stakeholders?
Real Madrid won the title in Spain last year. Today Schuster got fired. Very likely because of the way how he addresses the press. There was no change in this handling the press for the year-and-a-half. Why bother about it now?
I must think about a BMW. It stands still in front of a red light. The engine is off. Will it be fast enough when the light switches to green? Is the German approach compatible with the Spanish culture?
I think it doesn't matter replacing Schuster for the trainer of Seville Juande Ramos. It will - I reckon - not help the club.
The unbalanced number of Dutch Players is another issue. It seems to me that RM is copying Barcelona who has done that before. Think also about how many players of the club are injured. Only time will solve this deadlock. Time will be needed to change. Replacing a trainer won't do it. I fear.
