5 people responsible for Real Madrid’s mess this season

#3 Florentino Perez

Perez has been under active

The president himself will not take blame, but the truth is that he should have taken matters in his own hands during the transfer window. At one point in time, the construction magnate was criticised for exerting more power than required.

For instance, the sales of Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder weren't approved by then manager Manuel Pellegrini. Indeed, even the acquisitions of Kaka and Benzema weren't done with the Chilean's approval.

Back then, Perez was overly active. Now, he is under active. The combination to be a good president is to be somewhere in the middle and Florentino Perez failed in that in the transfer market.

Had he persisted on bringing a striker and a goalkeeper, the Blancos might not have been in such a bad situation.
