## Resource

Jarod Hector and Siddharth Ramsundar discuss Real Madrid's elections, the announcements of signings by both parties, Florentino Perez's strategy with the election, the pushback against the sale of part of the club, the flaws in Riquelme's campaign, why all the big names feel like a distraction tactic, the potential upsides to Perez's signings, and the risks with Jose Mourinho going forward. We also review the numbers from the election and discuss why overall it is a positive for open dialogue.
