That leaves Real Madrid 13 points off the pace. Remember Heynckes was sacked at Real for winning the CL but poor domestic performance in the league coming 4th. If Atletico keep Falcao they may not even be the best team in Madrid. Would be an awful shame if Jose left Madrid and returned to England in the summer
Mancini should be getting the boot at just about the right time, too. Still, you've got Rafa, so things aren't all bad, eh?
The one positive about today is that Benitez won't get the full time post now. Di Matteo was sacked for the humiliation in the Supercup, Benitez won't get the job for this reason. For Gourlay and co this competition was massive in terms of increasing their global brand. Rival fans are laughing but it could turn out to be the best thing for us because I was beginning to a worry Benitez could get the full time post Winning the FA Cup might buy Mancini another year but I'm not sure the title race is done and dusted yet. They won't sack him if he retains the title.
Mourinho has been poor at Madrid with all the money he has had there. How much has he spent since being there about 200 million since he has been there. And he has ronaldo.
