Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has hit out at the club's management after admitting in a press conference on Wednesday that he is the last to know about the club's signings.

All this season Schuster has been in the backseat over the club's transfers as club president Ramon Calderon has been the ringleader of the Cristiano Ronaldo circus.

The German ruefully admitted:

"I am the last to know things. It's not good. I would like more information, it is not pleasant to be cut out and not to be able to answer questions.

"Some time ago we talked about strategies, we were quite clear. I do not know if things have changed, but I'd like to know."

It seems like that there is some fracture at the Real Madrid hierarchy. Schuster led the club to their second successive La Liga title triumph last season.
