Carlo Ancelotti

[MikeH72]

Mate, did you see his team at Parma? They were one of the top sides in Europe at the time with a squad packed with stars!

A side that he put together and made into some of the best players in the world? Weird angle you’re taking here.

Is this the same Dom King who told us it was off? Or that it would be a mistake to hire him?

Koff.

Then why not show some ambition and use your amazing management skills to go somewhere and become a legend?

Instead of Burnley.

So.... we’re questioning and penalising Howe for not showing ambition, for not taking the step up.

But..... we’re not allowed to discuss the motivations and reservations for Ancelotti coming to 16th placed Everton.

Eddie Howe is a good manager.

Carlo Ancelotti is a great manager.

So we are going with Ancelotti.

It's not that complicated really.

Fighting a losing battle, mate.

Parma has Buffon, Zola, Cannavaro, Stoitchkov. They even almost had Roberto Baggio, but Ancelotti vetoed the transfer.

Serie A at the time was the best league in the world, with the best players in the world. Ancelotti took over from Scala, who won the UEFA Cup when it was a massive achievement.

@emir and @Keiran competing for the " Most wrong poster " award.

Tough one to pick.

@Keiran wins by a landslide, I can’t think off the top of my head of a single thing he’s called right ever.

It’s just his opinion though.

By including Real Madrid in both lists.

As both managed Madrid, it’s relevant.

Collectively, you’ll win more with the latter list than with the former, yeah?

He didn’t put the team together - he took over from Nevio Scala!

You have failed to make a compelling case for Manuel Pellegrini being in any way comparable to Carlo Ancelotti by the way.

@Keiran wins by a landslide, I can’t think from hours of research i’ve done and multiple colour coded, date-ordered folders i’ve compiled listing everything he’s ever posted - of a single thing he’s called right ever.

It’s just his opinion though.

This.

How?

'The fact that he hasnt won much is because he has managed at X, Y, Z / He is a superstar manager because he's managed Real Madrid and City'

Pick one and stick with it you cant have both

 

[Saint Domingo]

He wouldn’t be here if he didn’t have something to prove. He could rock up at any top club in Europe and get a job wherever he wanted. I think he wants a challenge to build something to be back in the premier league and maybe get a bit of adoration rather than always being 2 losses from the chop like he was at Madrid and PSG.

No, I'm asking how the vaunted "upside" of Eddie Howe and his potential as the next Bobby Robson has led to him having 2 spells at Bournemouth.
