Ferguson leavin? That's not going to happen though. Personally I'd purge anyone or anything that has been associated with Everton for the last thirty years. I thought Harvey was a mistake. What a player and a man, as a caveat. Re-appointing Kendall another.
Popularity, who cares. Win. Win and win again. You're only as good as your last game.
I'm not big on sentimentality. I want winners and I really don't care were they come from. If Ancelotti keeps on Ebbrell, Jeffers, that's red flags for me. Just like when Moshiri kept on Kenwright. But tis the season of goodwill and Ancelotti is our manager...But he has to stuff it to them. Neither Kenwright or Moshiri know the first thing about football.
If this guy can't sort out the mess no-one will. But yeah, the pitiful signings, who masquerade as important players, it comes down to Brands. Just like Walsh before him. They're both woeful. They'll be a gradual clear out under Ancelotti.
Why Ancelotti would keep Ferguson? It's sentimentally and nothing else.
