Bayern Munich general manager Uli Hoeness says Real Madrid will fail

Bayern Munich general manager Uli Hoeness has predicted that Real Madrid's spending spree will end in failure and possible bankruptcy. Real have spent almost £200 million since Florentino Perez regained his seat as chairman, bringing Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Karim Benzema and Raul Albiol to the Liga club. The spending is set to continue, with moves for Bayern star Franck Ribery and Liverpool's Xabi Alonso on the cards, but Hoeness thinks their business model is unsustainable.
"In time Real will have a big problem when the bailiffs come to the Bernabeu stadium," Hoeness said at an Audi launch in Munich. "They will not be able to settle their debts.
"The bucket can only keep going to the well until it breaks but they are still taking it to the well."
