Only gripe I have with bringing in an Ancelloti is things seem to be going well under big Dunc. Ok only 2 games but there appears to be a shift in mood and atmosphere about the place, I would like to have seen him given til the end of the season. Chances are a championship or lower league club might come in for him and if he turns out to be a fantastic manager then it will be one that got away. Anyway, Caoi Carlo

When a manager of Ancelotti’s calibre becomes available you put all your cards on the table and try get him in asap. No point waiting until the summer where he’d almost certainly get snapped up by someone else. I appreciate Ferguson has done a good job so far but who knows how long that’d last - just look at Solskjaer/Man Utd as an example
 


Zlatan talks about Ancelotti, quite interesting:

I can speak Italian and English, so immediately we could communicate and get to know each other, and together we started what he called ‘the Parisian Project’. Everything was new in the beginning in Paris, totally different to how it is now. The pitches were a state, the team was what it was – it was a completely new project. He had come from Chelsea and I from Milan, two big clubs, to build a club that would become big. Although he had already been there six months before me, we started from the beginning. We’d make jokes about the situation. ‘My God, what have we done, where have we come to, what is this place?’ we’d ask each other. ‘What do we do now, what do we do first, what do we do next?’ Every day there was something new to address, which was surprising. It wasn’t organized like the big clubs we’d been involved with and you come to expect things to be like that. I mean, even the kit guys – we only had two guys for twenty-five players and we were going away to America. Paris Saint-Germain hadn’t won the league for nineteen years and we said, ‘OK, we will do this. We will make this a big club.’

The club that Paris Saint-Germain is today is not thanks to the people coming in now, it’s thanks to Carlo, who was here at the beginning. It’s the guys at the start, who had all that hard work to do, who people should be saying thanks to, not the people here dancing and enjoying it now that everything is nice. When he left, I was not sure I wanted to stay, because I had a very good relationship with him. Even if we hadn’t won the league, I would still believe in him. I believe he was the right person for this project, but not for two years. Ten years would have been right and that was his vision too.

Carlo and Zlatan are getting the band back together and going to be getting deja vu very soon
