Carlo Ancelotti

[Moonlight dribbler]

Unpopular opinion but this could be one of the worst appointments in the PL for a long time. Sorry to be a miserable git but out of all the possible up and coming young talented managers, we have decided to hire a dinosaur, who is clearly past his expiry date. I wanted a young up and coming manager like Rodgers, Eddie Howe, Nagelsmann, Pochettino, who have a good attacking philosophy and showed time and time again what they are capable of, in terms of building teams with limited resources. Sure, some of those managers are not available right now but there's always a chance of bringing them in the summer. We've rejected this idea and decided to go for a manager, who is basically a "cheque-book" manager. Managed to turn a great Napoli side under Sarri, into one of the most uninspiring teams in Italy; absolutely downgraded them. Liverpool had the chance of appointing either Ancelotti or Klopp, when they sacked Rodgers back in 2015, and 4 years on, they are on their way to creating a dynasty under Klopp.

Kopites are FUMING.

'Ancelotti — despite the presence of director of football Marcel Brands — was also given a major say in buying and selling players.

'He left Napoli this month after bust-ups with controversial owner Aurelio De Laurentiis and dressing room mayhem.

'But Ancelotti has been assured by Moshiri that he will now have executive authority in the running of Everton.

'That promise could put the position of Dutchman Brands under threat.

'Brands, along with chairman Bill Kenwright, wanted to bring in former boss David Moyes as a safe pair of hands, with Everton sitting only three points above the drop zone and facing a possible relegation fight.

'But on a salary of £11m a year, Ancelotti will have the power to make all the major decisions.'

Where are you quoting this from?

Give it a rest. You’ve just seriously suggested Eddie Howe over Ancelotti. You have no credibility here.

Firstly, I'm not a kopite. That's insulting. Secondly, come back to me in 6 months and we shall talk. Anyways, I'm sure a Kopite would rather us have Ancelotti than someone like Nagelsmann, Pochettino or Rodgers.

I can pretty confidently say Brands did not want to appoint Moyes

so a manager with a proven track record is somebody we shouldn't go near? we tried it with silva we tried it with Martinez and Koeman. we need somebody who is good now simple as that

Chill babe, we can talk anytime you want. Enjoy appointing a three time champions league winner. It could lead to a bit of happiness for us all but like I said Kopites are fuming.

Well, I only found it was from there after doing another search after being asked where it came from!

Just the link you pasted it from would do, but Marcel Brands was no way lobbying for Moyes. I doubt hes ever met Moyes.
