Carlo Ancelotti

[Yarrgh]

Gave my brother a lift to the airport last night as he is going to Doha to watch his team in yet another final.

The only thing he was scared about was fixture congestion.

Flamengo fan?

I think Carlo is going to love managing us. I really do. I think it's a great fit for someone of his age who clearly loves football.

Who is right for us?

I’m sentimental - would love to win the double with Moysey!

I think Carlo is going to love managing us. I really do. I think it's a great fit for someone of his age who clearly loves football.

He’s going to be at a club where he’ll be genuinely adored by the fans for the first time since he was at Milan. I’m sure that will count for something.

What does Koeman have in common with Ancelotti as a manager? Loads of people were underwhelmed with the Koeman appointment.

Sorry mate but koeman was a rated manager at the top me we got him

And how many of those calibre of players do we have. Your welcome

Really? So if the reports are true and it’s a 4 1/2 year deal, that’s not a long term project?

Are you just arguing for arguing sake, or are you really just a pathetic kopite trying to be contrary on an Everton forum?

Yet to hear any RS say that it's a good appointment. No surprise to hear what Harvs has to say.

Was it Colonel Mustard with the Lead Pipe in the Billiards room?

Colonel Bellend with the paving slab in the foreign capital

According to @Keiran the first is a real possibility if we hire one of the most decorated coaches of the last 30 years

Are Champions League / title winning managers any good at fighting relegation?

I don’t know. There’s not much data on that.

Benitez couldn’t keep Newcastle up
Klopp took Mainz down.
Ranieri basically took Atletico down
Even my mate Pellegrini took Universidad de Chile down.

Seems managers who coach at the top, rarely venture into those depths, but when they do, the results aren’t particularly good.

Who is right for us?

Nobody that we would unanimously agree on.

Only if he wins.

I know you don't mate.

You can still like the guy and say he's an exceptional manager but disagree that he's right for us, right now. It comes back to my 'horses for courses' argument. Whether you agree or not is upto you, I don't believe Guardiola would be able to seamlessly adapt to running a club like Tranmere. Just as Micky Mellon wouldn't be able to work with a team like City. Before anyone starts, I'm not saying we are the equivalent of Tranmere in this situation, I'm just giving an extreme to illustrate the argument.

Both teams very happy with their respective managers, both good managers at what they do, but there are different skills required to do different jobs. There are challenges that Mellon faces at Tranmere that are utterly alien to Guardiola that he's never had to deal with before, and vice versa.

But why isn't the best right for us. We have tried up and coming now 3 times and it's not worked out.

Any manager who comes in has the same task at hand. How on earth are the likes of Eddie Howe for example ' more qualified' or ' better suited' to overcome all obstacles than Carlo Ancelotti? How is that horses for courses ?

Mate Guardiola's eyelash could run tranmere. He's brought his philosophy successfully at every club he's been at. To say he couldn't manage tranmere is quite laughable to be honest.

But you don’t want him as manager?

I’ve never said that.

 

[COYBL25]

Weird way of going about it, you’ve done nothing but tell everyone to calm down and pick out the fact he hasn’t stayed at clubs for longer than 2 years for ages all day. But then you were essentially calling people idiots for not wanting Emery the other week??

 

[MikeH72]

Only if he wins.

I’m sure the fans will be more patient with him than others.

The wider narrative has, as it often is, been seemingly lost this afternoon.

And again, maybe its me and my dots, but think about it.

He becomes available. He is a very rich man, (I assume), has zero to prove to anyone in the game, a few days ago Everton was probably not even in his mind.

Then, contact. Apparently a meeting, probably more than one, in London with, apparently, Mosh & Co. (insert relevant billionaire). Problem with his Napoli contract. Sorted.

Then, again apparently, not an 18 months deal, but a 4 1/2 year one. That to me is the important bit. He has been sold a vision, a project, (I effin hate that word in football), but whatever it is, it kinda excites me that he has bought into all this stuff.

Just hope I am right. But the dots have been ok so far.
