Real Madrid president Florentino Perez isn't done bashing people who brought him tons of success in the past. On Monday, El Confidencial leaked an audio recording from 2006 where he says Raul Gonzalez & Iker Casillas are “frauds”.

Now, he's gone even a step further by putting Cristiano Ronaldo & Jose Mourinho on blast. Yes, you heard it right, the duo that won a combined 18 trophies for the royal club from Madrid! These tapes are said to be from 2012, a year when Ronaldo & Mourinho were both still at the club.

“This guy [Ronaldo] is an idiot, a sick man. You think this guy is normal, but he's not normal, otherwise, he wouldn't do all the things he does. He's an ‘alpha male'”

“Mourinho is an idiot. It is not that he does not want to play. Well, he's a bit abnormal. … That said, he has been overwhelmed by the pressure.”

Strong words from Perez especially taking into account, the people he's bashing brought immense success to his club. Perez was taking no prisoners and made sure to include a third Portuguese in his rant, Mourinho and Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes.

“Mendes has no control over him [Ronaldo] and it's the same with Mourinho – none at all. Even for interviews, they don't listen to him. These are two guys with terrible egos, spoilt the pair of them, who don't see the reality because they could both earn a lot more money if they did things differently. They are both abnormal because we are talking about a lot of money in image rights.”

Seems like it's all about the money for Florentino Perez who prides himself on the business side of his Real Madrid presidency. Thoughts? Would you enjoy joining a club where you know the president might say bad things about you behind your back?
