Not everything is doom Morten.
You have a younger squad and heavier transfer bag each summer. Madrid are topping the World in revenues and aren't dependant on whims of a sheikh.
You don't have to worry about future of the club.

Presently, Madrid is in shadow of Barca. Which isn't that surprising as we still have most of our best La Masia generation ever plus Suarez and Ney who adapted with Messi beyond everyone's expectations.
Madrid fans need to ride it out just like we did (older fans anyway) 15 years ago.

How do you think I felt as a Barca fan in 90s and 00s waiting 11-12 years without winning CL and Madrid winning more domestic trophies?

This is football and everything can change faster than you think.

Edit: With everything mentioned you still managed to win your Decima in this period and Perez has recently been buying some talented youngsters from La Liga.

The problems run much deeper than you may think. Its not as simple as waiting for Barca to decline, Real Madrid fucks up well enough on their own accord regardless. And there have been plenty of other clubs who has given us trouble as well. Atletico has been better than us in recent year, and with all due respect, that just goes to show how poorly managed this club really is.
Neither was it Barca who has knocked us out of cl in the last 3-4 years or so, not counting that time we won it. Even if Barca imploded tomorrow these other clubs will still be around, quite a few of them are better teams than Real Madrid is, its not just Barca. Besides, Barca isnt dependant as much on individual players, barca-system makes everyone thrive in the envoirment. The barca-system will continue to provide success for a long, long time.
Then there is Perez, who ran the club to the ground last time he was in charge, and he is doing it again. He has set himself up as such that no-one can challenge him, only in theory. Effectively he is a dictator who can do whatever he wants. Nothing will change as long as Perez and his rats are around. The only way is if he resigns, which doesnt look like will happen anytime soon.
As for our squad, while young, is quite overrated, not to mention the team-balance is non-existant.

. MARCO MATERAZZI: "Benitez was afraid of his own shadow. He was jealous of the memory of [Jose] Mourinho, After we won the [2010 Champions League] final at the Bernabeu, I said to Mou, 'You'll leave us with Benitez. I will never forgive you.'"

If I were him I'd be jealous of Carlo's Memory. He was 10 times the manager Mou was for them and actually did it with respect and class.

Yeah but Materazzi being a cunt like Mourinho would obviously like those like him.

Countless rumors saying that Benitez will be sacked before New Year,before the game on 30.12. or whatever. Mostly from COPE and Cadena Ser, Mourinho and Zidane likely replacements.

Hope Benitez only gets sacked after Man United hire Mou to replace LVG.

Madrid isn't stupid. I think they've been planning this after Mou got the sack. Perez was overtly complementary to Mou in his interview the other day while pretty much focusing only on Carlo's mistakes last year.
