Carlo Ancelotti

[Tubey]

From an article on his Napoli tenure, bit worrying

A familiar criticisms from previous stops on Ancelotti’s coaching journey – that he does not push players hard enough in training – has resurfaced in recent weeks.

If that happens and he wins stuff like he usually does will you be remotely arsed?

This has been fun. I look forward to tomorrow morning’s news of us appointing David Moyes after an ‘unsuccessful approach’ to Ancelloti.

Good night chaps.

"You really aren't working these players hard enough in training Carlo, so you can stick your [insert top flight trophy] up your rear end," said nobody.

Yeah he just did a John Terry and turns up in the full kit, after being on holiday for the season

I’m very wary of managers who have proven they know how to win trophies with multiple clubs in different leagues. I mean there is Davey or BFS we could appoint.......

BS

I can’t see him taking less than Pelligrini!

4.5m Euros a year? Gotta be on more than that surely?

Yes must be more, meaning no transfer budget for the next 3 seasons.

Arteta stays at City.
Ancelotti goes to Arsenal.

We get Moyes.

When you consider that he's won more competitions in his managerial career (since 1995) than we have as club in our entire history, it provides me with optimism.

I also look at his average win percentages at all his clubs - see one of my previous posts - and it is again brings me with some optimism that he can nurture us.

Am I looking solely at the FA Cup? No, I am looking at him progressing in the league, entering Europe and challenging the club as we develop our overall status.

But if winning the FA Cup is the first milestone, then you know what, I would be happy with that. We have tasted success since '95, which is far, far too long.

I agree the win percentages are good. But this is easily the least talented squad he's managed in 20 years. The balance of talent is so skewed in football that it's fair to question whether managers who succeed at those clubs near the top are capable of doing it when they do not have the players to dominate everyone they play.

Is there an argument to be made that he did more with those squads than anyone else so that's evidence enough of his talent? Yeah that's fair. I'm just concerned that it's a bad fit for the squad we have and more importantly the long term prospects of the club. But it looks like the long term doesn't have any real planning so maybe just trying to win now at all costs is worthwhile.

Regardless of how it goes I'll be behind it. Just give me some time and I'll get there.
