Carlo Ancelotti suing Everton?!!

[ArtetaMoney]

“What would Everton do”

10 years or so ago I could not have been prouder of our club. Spin on to today and I'm profoundly embarrassed. Total laughing stock.

About the truest words I heard at the start if this were "nothing will be the same."

Might fly over to madrid and web the grey haired dinosaur all over his tapas ridden couch

I liked him but saw my arse when he left. I think he was good at letting the fans hear what they wanted to hear.

It was never going to last.

agreed.
But it was refreshing to dine at the top table if only for a year.

Hahahahahahaha

Lash a hot coffee in his face as well

Blow on that

It was. Like going out with a fit bird knowing you are punching above your weight.

(So I’ve heard!)

10 years ago I was sick to death of the small fry, corner shop mentality of our club.
I think, once we sold Rooney was the moment a big part of the club died for me.

And finally, after a generation, it's coming to a slow and embarrassing end

I wonder what he is saying we owe. If he wants a pay-off after exercising his Real release clause then even if his contract permits it he can expect his ‘gentleman’ reputation to severely get tarnished in the process. If we owe him unpaid salary or performances bonuses, which would not surprise me, then that is entirely different.

Ancelotti’s lawyers filed the coach’s claim against his former employers late on Friday, according to court records. It relates to “general commercial contracts and arrangements” and is listed to be heard in the commercial court.

I have a very bad feeling about this.
There must be some sort of Usmanov deal involved that the club can no longer fulfill.
Tack this on the the FFP inquest and it all could come out in the wash.

Pretty big leap, that.

Even if there was some usmanov payment, do you really think they'd put it in a contract?

It is likely to be something related to image rights and there have been loads of cases like that over the years.

Nothing to see here.

Did Bobby Martinez threaten or actually end up taking us to court?

Seem to recall some issues with his compo too. Maybe I dreamed it.

Anyway, it's a sharp business top end footie. I'm not surprised.

Edit - went to a hearing. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spo...sacked-roberto-martinez-received-10m-11862895

To help the fans show this board for what it is. He loves us, just knew this club was f'd

If you think he is suing us because he loves the club I have some magic beans to sell you.

Imagine the reaction on here if it was Gordon or Barkley suing us. But Uncle Carlo can do no wrong because he said some nice things about Crosby Beach that time.

Two years after leaving seems a bit rum to me.

His original contract was meant to run until the summer of 2024 mind

 

[Mr Happy]

Can we not just end the club now, make this embarrassment stop for good. It's one thing after another recently. So close to not caring anymore.
