Four Things Need To Be Done at Real Madrid

Following Real Madrid's humiliating defeat to Barcelona in El Clasico, everyone started talking about what should be done at the club to reshape the team and restore its pride and image as Spain's, Europe's, and the World's most powerful football club.

With the elections to be done this month, everyone is certain that Florentino Perez will regain the presidential seat and re-adopt the notion of "Galacticos"—the team that is filled with superstars. His idea only worked for a couple of years before, then it collapsed and the club had to hire Fabio Capello to do a "clean up" and get the team's spirit back.

I personally don't have anything against Mr.Perez, but if he is really going to reform the team in the way the press is reporting, then we'll definitely go into a "trophyless coma" for another four or five years.

However, in my opinion here is what the club needs to do.

1) Keep things stable

I believe everyone agrees with me on this one. After this election, there should be no more. We don't have to change presidents, and presidents on their sides, should stop scandals and focus their efforts on serving the club rather than themselves and their desires.

2) Keep Juande Ramos

To begin with, he is a top-notch football manager. The fact that Tottenham sacked him doesn't mean a darn thing. Heck, even Capello was sacked twice when he won two titles. If you are going to evaluate a coach, then your evaluation needs to be objective and systematic. Study Juande's history, tactical ability, and football knowledge and you'll realize he is one of the best coaches in Spain at the moment.

Another reason to keep Ramos is because there aren't better ones at the moment. Fergie, Wenger, Mourinho, Ancelotti, and Rafa are all tied up to their clubs. You can go to the route Barca went to by hiring a former player and a younger coach, but it is too risky. Pepe Guardiola proves me wrong here, but why risk it when you already have a great coach in Juande Ramos?

3) Keep the team's foundation
