THE FIRE ISN’T GOING DOWN

It’s like we’re trying to put out the fire with fuel. We better be careful before the USA gets involved with our club/players and starts an international investigation on where we’re getting all this fuel from to fan these flames. When the strait of homuz is closed. I won’t be surprised if Vini and Jude have something to add to the mix. Let’s blow this thing up.

THE MOURINHO PROJECT

This is in no way a fix. But a temporary treatment/solution.

🚨⚪️ José Mourinho’s return to Real Madrid now advancing to the final stages. Talks are progressing well.

Final approval from Florentino Pérez still needed + likely to wait until the elections…

NPC MANAGER

Arbeloa can no longer afford to be an NPC manager as of yesterday. His next presser will now force him to include his real personality and his own real thoughts, after he’s finished downloading it from the cloud server of course. His life span no longer has to reduce when lieing about our players to our faces. This may also be his end as a castilla manager here at the club because now he’s also been proven to be a problematic manager by the players themselves. And our club will definitely distance itself from him when the season is over. I thank him for all his NPC statements during the brewing moments of the chaos, although they were of no avail in the end. The real madrid manager role is Not an easy job to do, but it’s a very easy one to fail at.

AT THIS POINT

The season is longer than normal, cant believe we still have an extra game to play.
