Jose's Power Hold..

So with Jorge Valdano' sacking now made officia  (it was no secret)l, it seems that Jose Mourinho has his wish of total control over the spanish outfit. Mourinho and the outgoing president have reportedly had many - at times heated - altercations. It seems finally, Valdano's popularity has waned enough the board of directors hae seen fit to dispose of him.

The Madrid board arent stupid. He may be one of the most outspoken managers in football today, nee history, but he is also proven at the highest level; Porto, Chelsea, Inter, and he has already won the Copa Del Rey with Real, in his first season. 

The board of directors at The Bernabeu know that if Jose becomes increasingly frustrated with his lack of control, he could leave with Ancelotti relieved of his duties at Stamford Bridge, just last week. For Real Madrid to avoid an almighty embarassment, this cannot happen and thus events have transpired so.
