You are nothing like Milan, we have a chance of winning something, you don't
And don't take my word for it, take Florentino's own statements on his "great" financial plan this summer:
"Perez acknowledged this in an oblique way, “We’re going through a delicate moment with the world financial crisis, but we had to make a big effort for the arrival of new players--which explains the debt.”
Ah, yes – the debt. It’s certainly true that the debt “ballooned” (to use Real’s own word) last year to finance the player acquisitions, but it’s by no means the only element of Real’s strategy. “We believe we can improve our accounts by aiming for three goals – increasing ticket sales, increasing bank loans and increasing the club’s economic value” Perez later stated."
3 months later Banco Santander announced that under no circumstances will it be extending Real Madrid's loan until it re-payed a significent part of its existing debts, something it failed to do after winning nothing, and again are 99% sure not to win anything again.
Dream is over.
