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.

No one cared what your pedo manager is doing.. go bk to rawk

He doesn't. He goes to the pub instead. Waiting list and all that.

Or streams it from his bedroom in his parents house.

Very well tonight mate.

 

[PITA]

No, that’s precisely the point!

No manager guarantee’s success, not even this one - one of the most successful of all time - and all managers represent risk, including this one.

Discussing that risk is not negative or trolling.

Why are posters on here so keen to use apostrophes when they don't know how to?

 

[DuuuncanHadaPigeon]

Nah, he’s won loads everywhere he’s been.

Which is all the more puzzling why he only lasts 19 months at clubs.

19 months excluding Milan, you are cherry picking your data

 

[COYBL25]

Sacked by 6 of his 9 clubs.

Averages 19 months per role (excluding AC Milan).

No experience working at this level.

Rejected by top clubs in recent years.

Ancelotti is an exciting appointment. He’s one of the greatest managers of all time. But why is it so horrific to discuss these reservations in the same way we did with all the other suggested managers?

Can I suggest that you put these questions to Pete Price - Radio City 10pm to 1am every Sunday.

You`re just the type of caller that he loves to engage with.

 

[Billysgingham.]

Very well tonight mate.

Good mate, I see you are still handing out good advise mate.

Because its Carlo fffiiinnnn Ancelotti
THATS WHY

 

[Zatara]

If he does arrive.. I assume, it would mean we have promised him funds in the next few transfer windows to bring his players in. Which is a positive. Just not sure how his son and Dunc can both be assistant managers but I guess they will figure it out.

Pep has 3...

Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

So the reason Ancelotti's stock is so much higher than Pellegrini's and why hes managed AC Milan, Real, PSG, Chelsea and Bayern winning everything there is whilst Pellegrini has since his spell at Real managed City, Malaga, some Chinese mob and is about to get fired by West Ham has nothing to do with him being a much better football manager?

Just luck, choices and agents.

Again, nobody is sitting here saying Pellegrini or Howe are better managers than Ancelotti.

You asked why better managers don’t always manage the best teams, and I said that there are many reasons, one of which is absolutely an element of luck.

For example, the likes of Arteta, Solskjaer and Lampard hold top jobs while the likes of Allegri and Pochettino are out of work. Nobody would argue the latter two aren’t exceptional managers.

It would be foolish to think they haven’t been approached by clubs upto now. Pochettino was apparently approached by us and turned us down, choices. He may have had the United job but Solskjaer is doing just enough. Luck. If Real Madrid were willing to pay his Spurs release clause, he probably would have had that job in the summer. Agents.

Just enjoy winning games folks and the positive attitude around the club for as long as it lasted. Been way too negative for as long as I can remember so I for one am going to enjoy the ride . Lifes too short to constantly find the negative in everything. I do find some individuals amusing so don't change

 

[Brisan123]

I will say for him that he seems to be able to spot a player (He took a big chance on Ake for instance and people were going mad on here at how much he paid for him, but he was resoundly justified for doing so)

If you turn to your left and look closely into the distance you will see 40 million pounds sterling of supposed talent furiously waving at you in the form of Dominic Solanke and Jordan Ibe

I told him Yerry Mina was voted in the team of the year for both Europa and Champions league south american equivilents...back to back.

Also voted in the team of the year in Brazil + the best defender in Brazil.

He ignored the facts and compared them to Leicester fans liking their centre back Soyunku (sp).

He has no data.


The only data needed are Ancelottis trophies.
