Carlo Ancelotti

[Toffeelover]

The football was dire, we didn’t win a pot and Moyes entire personality depressed me and summed us up as a club. “Plucky little Everton, they’ll make it hard for you at Goodison!” whilst Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea hoovered up trophies playing attacking football.

It was dire.

AKA the Johnson era.

Not about age, he hasnt taken on a project like this before.
He will have big money to spend to turn the team into top 4 challengers, the squad will completely change within 2-3 transfer windows like it did under koeman.
Ancelotti is a world class manager no doubt, but can he build a team that quickly and get them to gel

We arnt far away from top 4.. Chelsea,Arsenal and Utd arnt much better then us.. people way over reacting about our squad.. we lack leadership, CA is leadership

Apparently Ancelotti can only manage teams with tons of money. A bit like Pep Guardiola. We should proceed with caution when hiring such managers.

Reading Ancelottis bio atm, and he clearly states that his job is to coach the team according to the owners wishes.(he is the employer after all)

Also highlights that DoF role is absolutely essential, as managers should focus on managing teams, not meddling with agents and negotiations.

Seems extremely flexible and cooperative
(his own portrayal) and has a very business-like mindset, accepting his role in the hierarchy. Seems like a father-figure who gets the best out of each individual. And ALWAYS protects his players.

Also mentions that his leadership-style often is criticised as weak in tough times, but naturally disagrees with this and highlights people("talent") over strategy. Seems a natural motivator to me, who can handle big egos and build squad harmony under multiple circumstances. So no worries about Oumar and Cuco the.

Leaves me excited and sceptical at the same time...

(bio is called Quiet Leadership, good read so far)

Just bought as a Christmas present to myself! Looking forward to reading it

Dom King nailing his flag to the pole there saying it's a vanity project.

His opinion is now invalid

Some of the football was dire mate.
However , you seem to be overlooking the fact that he had to cut his cloth. We had absolutely no money , and he had to get the best out of very limited resources. Man Utd , Chelsea and Arsenal had infinitely more resources. What did you expect him to do ?

Yeah, it could’ve been Ancelotti that skyrocketed PSG back into the elite...... or it could have been the Qatar government who took over PSG a couple of months prior and gave him an unlimited budget.



Do you accept that Ancelotti has never had to conduct a comprehensive re-build during his career, the likes of which would be necessary to get this club into the top 4 in the next 2-3 years, and that he typically delivers success with a level of players he doesn’t have access to here?

Sure, if FM going to start playing Footy Manager on cheat mode and throwing money at it, you’d expect we’ll get those calibre of players and can accelerate our growth which is exciting - but surely it’s reasonable to be at least mildly concerned about Ancelotti’s inexperience delivering on a project like that and the financial and long term implications of that strategy for the club (i.e we aren’t City or PSG)?

Go dry your eyes son.... haha

 

[MrGrumpy]

It’s just BS I reckon mate but I’m afraid of the worst outcome nonetheless.

I can’t get the image of Moyes ugly mug out of my head. I can’t do another 11 years of him, it was dire then and it will be dire again.

Impossible for Everton to appoint him now.. the fans would riot and they have an empty stadium... Moyes is not coming back...
Most Journalists are talking like HE ALREADY IS(CA) our manager

Moyes’ football has been dire everywhere though mate. At Man Utd he inherited the champions and had the likes of Van Persie and still played an awful style of football.

He’s a dinosaur and his name doesn’t need to be synonymous with Everton anymore.

Well PSG have only been relevant in the last 5/6 years i'd say. Ancelotti took over that club in 2011 and if you look at their first team squad from when he took over its slightly above average at a push. Sure they had 2 or 3 decent players already at the club ( much like ourselves ), but the rest of the squad was average or slightly above average at best. Once he took over he added to those 2 / 3 decent players and brought in the likes of Thiago Motta, Thiago Silva, Marco Veratti, Ibrahimovic, Lavezzi, Lucus Moura and Beckham. Those other average first team squad players also improved under him and went on to have decent careers themselves.

Before him, PSG went through a spell of not winning anything for about 15 years. It was under him that PSG started to become the attraction they are today. I'm not saying that we'll become champions of England in his first season here or that we'll even win anything; i'm saying that when he took over at PSG, not many of the squad that were at the club when he arrived, if any, would make any team of his in the last 20 years either.

Carlo Ancelotti attracts big name players and he can also clearly identify a player of world class potential.

The concern over his appointment originates from jealous bellends who can't accept lil arl Everton FC are being ambitious and want to have a go. The same bellends who had hoped lil arl Everton FC stayed a no mark of a club, a wannabe attraction, the best of the rest.

They where ranked 38th behind us when he took over, ranked 10th when he left PSG

The difference is that you talk about the training methods, the playing style, the tactics, and the culture that Guerdiola implemented in the clubs he has been to. He has made the clubs better, not only in terms of results, but on all parameters. You can't say that about Ancelotti.

Good job we’ve got a ton of it then!

 

[MrGrumpy]

It amazes me the amount the negativity associated with the appointment of one of the most decorated managers in world football, JUST because he's linked with Everton. If Arsenal appointed him, and their squad of players is no better, then everybody would be talking about what an amazing appointment it would be. Remember Ferguson wanted Ancelotti at Man Utd as number 1 choice NOT David Moyes. I'm mainly talking about journalists here.



Not idol gossip, just a regurgitation of whats been posted by clickbaiters and media outlets, but with an added topping of extra vomit. And you had goosebumps over it.

You take the 2 strikers out the Arsenal team and ur looking at Relagation candidates

How much of that do you attribute to Ancelotti and how much do you attribute to the unprecedented cash injection from the Qatari government, though?
