Carlo Ancelotti

He'd score more points than we have on Boris

I’ll take a wild guess.

I think he’s referring to the Australian style points based immigration system that Boris wants to bring in.

However he may be suffering from delirium tremors again, after overdoing the festive chickpea crack pipe.

Either that or his dialysis machine needs new batteries.

Or I gort snow blindness with the new Xmas decorations today.......
 
I absolutely agree with this, as there is no way we are getting Ancelotti on anything other than his own terms.

I'm not sure about a big budget though, yes I'm sure we will spend but that has to be seen in the context of the overall length of contract. My hunch is that he will want a greater degree of involvement in lining up targets, and that has to mean a dilution of Brands role in that aspect.

We need considerable work to get us into competitive shape, and that dictates the type of player you can sign, particularly in the early stages. I don't think players will rush to Goodison simply because Ancelotti is the manager, not if they have options to play in Europe elsewhere.

A lot of patience will be needed, but if appointed they have to trust to give him free rein to implement the changes he thinks are necessary. The good thing is I believe a lot can be done for us in the short-term outside of simply spending money with an experienced, competent, and accomplished manager that he clearly is.

The club have to go with the flow on this as the one thing we know for sure is that the methods of a succession of lesser managers clearly have be shown to fail.

Give him the keys of the car and let him drive it his way

The interesting question will be what becomes of Brands in this. Can he focus on the youth teams towards now? Will he be happy to do this? Would he rather do this and be left in the background? Does he still negotiate prices for first team players? Are we able to attract a higher calibre of player now Ancelotti is in charge?
 


Fairly interesting view of what actually went on with Napoli with him and shows that he's not just "finished" and seems to actually have just been hard done by at Napoli this year.
