Real in crisis as Martin resigns

 

Real Madrid's turbulent season continued as Fernando Martin resigned as club president after losing a vote of confidence at a board meeting.

 

Director Luis Gomez-Montejano will take over as the club's president until elections can be held.

 

It was Martin's first full board meeting since succeeding Florentino Perez, who stepped down in February.

 

Real will end the campaign without a trophy for the third successive season, their worst run in more than 50 years.

I am not sure but I think like barca it is owned by its supporters.

The funniest things is - when they had the Board meeting everyone had to vote should he stay or should he go.

 

There were sixteen of them voting.

 

The vote: 15 against. 1 for.

 

Martin voted for himself....

 

What a washout.

Is it true he had them take an official team photo with himself instead of Perez?

 

I guess he's just not a superior human being.

Yep. Allegedly.

 

I want to be Real Madrid's president. I think I'd qualify - I have a bad haircut and megalomaniac tendencies. The only thing missing is the money, but I could always just pawn the Bernabeu.
