in my favorite section @fcbes
well basically we have 5 candidates
1- Villar Mir-Sainz
these are Perez men a big business man (Villar) & the ex-Rally fan favorite champion Carlos Sainz
, they almost have the edge of the penyas votes since perez used Manuel Fernando(current board memeber/ex-Perez employee/slave) to threaten them to vote Villar or else lose all the benefits (free tickets,money..etc)
they have about 10000 votes(through Perez Penya's) which could be a big amount in the election considring the 2004 election only 20000 voted
they kept everything in the shades so far, Sainz (a very popular figure in the club) had an ambitious agenda by bringing Laudrup to take over in a similar fashion to Laporta-Rosell-Rijkaard.. but that seemed to go in the garbage can after 5 current board members joined them & the Villar Election campagin took a different approach .. they are currently nicknamed the "continuista" you can sense the meaning they will continue Perez era
however the only thing they said so far that they will sign Lippi after the WC after claiming Capello in the begining then Sven then Wenger)
2- Baldassano
Current Teka president, old member of the club & have a vast experiance in losing the elections each time with a laughable number of votes 0.7 % in 2004 elections
mainly his coach as announced is Sven
3- Palacios
he is playing on the violin of old glory , old players.. his campagin includes Camacho (

) as a sporting director, Del Bosque as the main coach & Michel as Castilla coach, he want a core of Spanish players.. however after recent media attention towards Calderon agenda.. he sent Camacho to Italy to try to persude Milan to give him Kaka.. Gilliani practically showed him the door (which i relate to his sweaty nature & by default Body Odor) saying Kaka is not for sale.. same happened in Juve... however the image shown to the members is that Palacios does not have any clear direction what is next.. for a very spanish core to trying to clone Calderon campagin
the players requested by Del Bosque (who is the main coach for 2 candidates) are
Caravalho
2 out of 3 DM's from Diarra,De Rossi & Marquez
2 Wingers Robben & C. Ronaldo
1 striker Rooney (i'm guessing this was fabricated for election purpose)
4- Calderon
the most notable campagin covered by the press for one reason , he feed them with rumors
Calderon a lawyer is a current board member & he was the one who led the turn on Fernando Martin back in March from the Perez camp
He hired Mijatovic as his sporting director promising (another version SIGNED PRE CONTRACTS)
a bunch of Juve Players (Cannavaro ,Zambrotta,Emerson,Zlatan )
Kaka
Boulharouz (sp)
Robben
the coach Capello
i think Kaka bit is similar to Perez figo.. i doubt we have the money for Milan to let him go & personally i'm suspicous towards Calderon
5- Lorenzo Sanz
our ex-president from 96-2000 Simple & clear.. the guy has a track record of building a winning team & getting a good /great coach.. Real won 2 CL's under his managment & for some people the core of the third CL in 2002
his coach in Del Bosque , he is not making a move towards any player apart from what Del Bosque wants (the list i posted above with Camacho)
and personally i prefer Sanz over anyone.. but Perez would everything in his powers to make him lose..they hate each other guts
----------------------------------------
that's about it.. there is a current affair that will be decided next thusday which is Vote by mail. all candidates objected to letting members vote by mail (which was the main reason for Perez re-election ) there was rumors & court case last election claiming Perez fabricated these votes
the commitee will meet to decide after complains about this process from all candidates except Villar (no suprise

)
The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both honest and intelligent.
