Again, he did very well to get our horrible squad as high up the table as he did

Imagine if we'd actually given him a good squad whilst he was here?
He arrived a few years too late. If we'd got him when Moshiri first came things would have been different. That's on Moshiri though, he shouldn't have thrown money around before getting a top manager in first.

Just typifies the nonsensical approach that our owner and Boardroom have used over the last few years. We clearly didn't have enough financial leeway with the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules to hand Carlo the type of war chest that would have allowed him to make a serious run for Champions League football. I can't even begin to imagine the phone call they had with him to tell him that he'd have £1.7m to spend in a Summer window either. On top of that, they allowed him to write an iron-clad escape clause that would enable him to drop us like a hat the second a better club came along for him.

Truth be told, he never should have been appointed. We should have started cost cutting far sooner than we did to ease our financial burdens rather than bringing in a manager on a £10+ million a year salary and allowing him sign older players on massive wages to bloat what was an extremely poor squad.

It would have been incredible if we appointed him in 2016 and allowed him to spend Moshiri's initial heavy investment, rather than giving it to Koeman and Walsh to piss down the drain. Sadly under this owner, we just seem to be fate-bound to make a pig's ear of absolutely everything we attempt to do.
 
Won all the top leagues in Europe now, arguably the easiest La Liga has been this season but still an achievement
 

Ancelotti makes history​

Ancelotti was lured back for a second spell at Real last summer following the departure of Zinedine Zidane, quitting Everton after 18 months at the Premier League club.

The 62-year-old won five major titles in two years at the Bernabeu between 2013 and 2015, including 'La Decima' - their 10th European Cup - but the Spanish title eluded him.

His first league title as a manager was with AC Milan in 2004, the club where he won the league twice as a player in the 1980s.

The Premier League with Chelsea followed in 2010, before Ancelotti lifted Ligue 1 with Paris St-Germain in 2013 and the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich in 2017.

Ancelotti's season could end in more glory, although Real must overturn a 4-3 first-leg deficit against City at the Bernabeu.

If they do reach the final and lift the trophy Ancelotti would become the only man to win the European Cup or Champions League four times as a manager, having also led AC Milan to the trophy in 2003 and 2007




But not good enough for Everton




'kin clowns ?

It wasn't about him not being good enough, he didn't want to be here.
