Real Madrid Elections

[Guest Cardie]

When's the results due and lay your bets.

 

The bloke who has Baldini and Cappello has my vote.

[R A Softlad]

30 mins and counting...

[Guest Cardie]

Palacios and Calderon neck and neck in some kind of pre election poll thing allegedly.

[Maldini]

Is it on any site anywhere?

[Guest Cardie]

Assume it'll be on AS somewhere.

 

My Spanish is crap though, best bet wold be an English speaking Madrid site.

Just looking at As.com and Marca. My Spanish isn't the best, but from what I can gather there were 16,000 votes, just over 7,000 have been counted and it stand like this at the moment:

 

Arthur Baldasano: 6.2%

Ramon Calderon: 27.8%

Juan Palacios: 24.2%

Lorenzo Sanz: 7.8%

Juan Miguel Villar Mir: 19.2%

 

There are 8,000 postal votes too, not sure if this is on top of the 16,000 or included in it.

 

EDIT: Actually, just figured out that the 7,000 figure was an exit poll Marca conducted, suppose it still applies though

Whose on Calderon's list of promises?

[realtarragona]

Capello was the main one. And I think he claimed to have deals for Kaka and Robben last week.

From Figaro earlier in the week:

 

Five candidates: Villa Mir - closely related to Florentino Perez. Has the votes by post stitched up which is one of the reasons that the other four candidates want the Electoral Board to nulify every postal vote. Loads of money, loads of influence. Has the ex-rally driver Carlos Sainz as his number 2. Both men have claimed to have reached an agreement with Wenger to run Madrid if they win the elections. last night they announced that they have tapped up Christian Ronaldo - 4 years 4 million euros net a year. Villa Mir is the favourite to win the elections on 2 July. Also rumours that Villa Mir has tapped Ashley Cole up too.

 

Juan Palacios - has Del Bosque and has claimed that they will pay the 60 million euros "escape" clause on Iniesta's contract to take the Barca player to Santiago Bernabeau much in the same way that Florentino Perez did with Figo. Palacios also claims to have first refusal on the WHOLE Juventus squad if the Italian club is relegated. Palacios is the strongest rival to Villa Mir atm.

 

Ramon Calderon is trying to be the "popular" candidate but with the highly unpopular ex-madrid player Pedrag Mijatovic as his number two. Calderon stated that he has Capello as coach. They will announce which players they have agreements with later this week.

 

Juan Baldasano is a rank outsider - has little capital to back up his campaign. Has spoken to Eriksson, Joaquin and Reyes. Has an agreement with Diarra. Little possibility of becoming president.

 

Ex president Lorenzo Sanz also states that he has Del Bosque as coach and has various agreements with Italian players if the Calcio is culled.

There were a lot of blank and spoiled votes. 3.9% blank and 10.8% spoiled

Whose on Calderon's list of promises?

 

 

Kaka & Robben are one's mentioned most with Calderon's campaign

[Maldini]

Apparently the 8,000 postal votes haven't arrived yet so Mir is trying to say that nobody should be announced as winner until they have been counted.

 

Seems reasonable.

[Maldini]

I think Calderon is now trying to claim victory despite all the votes not being in yet because he has the highest percentage of those that have been counted.

 

Bizarre.

[Maldini]

He won by 246 in the end, think all the postal voted were counted too.

 

SSN said he has a deal for Fabregas in place, think they're confusing him with one of the others though.

[fyds]

This morning they're saying as yet the result is unclear. He pronised (Calderon) Robben and (in a Motson stylee) Kakkkaaaaaaaahhhhh!

 

This should mean Placcy will have to return to Old Trafford and have large lumps kicked out of him - and that's just the cleaning ladies.
