That won't happen, because it's Perez who signs the players.
But despite all the resources Madrid has, success isn't a guarantee. In fact, it's the toughest managerial world the footballing world today.
He will be up against possibly the best football team in decades.
Have almost no say on the big signings.
Have bunch of so-called ultra fans who are essentially spoilt brats.
Seems a risky move by Rafa but he has been out of the elite group of managers since Inter.
If he wins at least a major cup (La Liga/CL) in the next 2 or 3 years, he will be pushed back to the limelight.
Mourinho won the La Liga. Ancelotti brought home the coveted La Decima. Neither were spared, so let's see what Rafa could bring to the table.
Contrary to reports, Real Madrid managers has an imput on players the hope to get. (see comments by RM manager(s), past & present on the linked players)
What you guys are fed are the news media's
simplistic view on how it works. Of course Perez has a big say, he assumes the role of 'director of football' there,
what real Madrid wants (after evaluation on the reinforcements with the coaches and managers)
they get their man. No amount of nitty gritty money problems that plagues some tightly budgeted teams.
It's the same with Liverpool,
Rodgers sets out who he wants, transfer committee will try to get, on conditions they fall within the set conditions (i.e. wage structure, etc) by the owners.

Jan Molby:
If Brendan Rodgers doesn't buy well Liverpool will DISAPPEAR as a top club
After finishing runners-up in the 2013/14 season, the Reds have since struggled to keep pace with the top four, sliding to sixth place this year.
And Molby admits the pressure is on Brendan Rodgers to come good in the transfer window or he risks Liverpool 'disappearing' as a top club.
"I know it sounds dramatic but this is the biggest summer Liverpool have ever had.
"Get it wrong and the danger is we disappear from that select group of five or six teams who are up there competing every year.
"I know the club fell off its perch long ago in terms of winning titles. But in the years since we've always been in the pack of clubs just behind. (but now) "We risk slipping away unless the glaring weaknesses in our squad are addressed."
- Jan Molby
We fans all should know how a football club is run. It's the same on how corporate companies conduct themselves. Understandable the media feeds and misled some of the readers (base on their comprehension on biasness and maybe, naivety). All managers have a big say in who they think the players should come to reinforce the team. How the team performs has a bearing on his tenure there.
We all know this figurative saying.
When Rafa wanted a table, (unfortunately) he got only a table lamp from the owners when he was at Liverpoolfc
At Madrid, I'm pretty sure he'll get THAT table, and it won't be sourced from ikea but the Real Madrid way!
Brendan Rodgers sees and buys into FSGs philosophy and decidely to (only) shop at bargains corner AT ikea as far. That's the difference. Of course then there are raids into those seemingly expensive players from Southampton (example). It's pretty much like shopping at those assembled/per decorated 'seasonal' showunits (at ikea)! Just because they look good as show units, whether it (really) fits your home, goes entirely on whether you are a good decorator (ID guy). Also when the home really needs a kitchen, he decides instead on a sofa set! That's Brendan. He thinks the sofa works/function like in a kitchen!!!
The players orgins (preferably British players) isn't and wasnt set by FSG, it has always been a Liverpoolfc's tradition. Know our club, we can disagree on this but it has always been that way, even long before Liverpoolfc was sold.
