Should Caro stay? How do we react to the Capello rumours?

I really belive that Caro has show enough to deserve a longer run. Continuity is critical in building a team and I think we should not change coaches when someone has shown such potential. I know that Luxa had a good run in the 2nd half of last season but that was based on changing our style, moving to a counter-attacking model that relied on Ronaldo. Caro's streak is based on a style that is much closer to the Madrid ethos that we have grown up with and love... quick passing, one-touch play, possession, on-the ground.... the style that make us not just the most successful but also the best club in the world.


He is the only coach in years who seems to have figured how to rotate a squad. I like the fitness levels in the team. The fact that weare playing as a unit. I like his passion and his balance, that everytime he talks it is without exxageration but with pragmatism.

And we need to stop thinking he's new. This is a man who has been with us for years. A man who has performed miracles with Castilla. Someone who understands how the club functions, what the fans look for. He is a man of the club and for the club, a man who understands what we represent. Let him stay!
