Real Madrid, one of the richest football teams in the world which proudly includes on its team Cristiano Ronaldo, the most expensive footballer in the world, has arrived in Carton House, County Kildare for pre-season training camp (Irish Independent).
Real Madrid management will, I believe, only agree to send their super rich, super talented people to locations which provide world class facilities and security; only the very best is acceptable and cost is never a factor.
So, how were Real Madrid management finally convinced that Carton House was the very best that money could buy?
Simple, they heard that it satisfied the exacting standards and expensive tastes of FÁS staff.
