Carlo Ancelotti

[Dougie]

Mancini plays a different, more defensive style. Much more like Capello than Ancelotti. The sort of guy who would also lay a good foundation

Yeah it’s more the quality of the manager I mean. Being able to attract that better player and instilling a winners mentality.

But does it involve a remote control and a boardroom table?

Just filthy women mate.

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.

I would love managing anyone for that salary.

Love, this.

It was a done deal from the moment Usmanov turned up with four 300lb skinhead Russian “assistants,” a bagful of cash and a dossier full of incriminating photographs!

When you have spent the best part of 2 decades managing mostly top clubs and winning pretty much everything there is to win, it must be extremely tempting and refreshing to be offered a chance to manage a club that has a really good history but has been on a downer for a long time and is owned by a billionaire who has promised to give you as much money and power as is required to bring said club back to the top.

It was a done deal from the beginning and i doubt he was ever even interested in going anywhere else at the time, probably would have had a years holiday.

Watching him on the touchline and in charge of our team on boxing day is going to be the most exciting day in about 25 years for me.

You tell em lid. Superb post.

His managed 5 clubs in the last decade.
He has come in to build a side asap if he gets sacked he still gets his 40m.

He has never done any project like this, which is why he would of demanded a massive pay check and transfer funds.
By the end of the summer I expect us to be alongside city and united in money spent

Really can't see that. Klopp said that he wouldn't buy success.

Amazing, isn't it? Arteta gets 3 fawning articles in the Guardian... Be interesting to see what Ancelotti joining us warrants

Probably more of the same that it's getting elsewhere I fear

It's amazing how biased the media is against us sometimes

I’d manage Daniel O’Donnell for that salary!

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I guarantee if Ancelotti had taken over at Arsenal and Arteta at Everton, the coverage would be very much different.

100%

It would all be "This is a big gamble for Everton that likely won't work out" and there'd be all sorts of worry about Arteta taking a PL club as his first job etc

All those doubting Thomases need to ask themselves the simple question:
Given the choice between hiring a vastly experienced guy who knows what a winning team looks like or hiring an apprentice unknown or worse a proven clueless loser, who would you hire?

Worlds most expensive keeper and defender I think

Linked with Havertz for 100 mil

Wasn’t Keita about 50 mil

Gonna have to give me some time on that one mate.

I think their will be a few sign up's to Amazon Prime because of this appointment just to watch it on Boxing day.

We are a club that hasnt won a trophy in a whole generation. Im baffled why people think we are relevant.

Last time Everton won a trophy I was a young carefree man. Now I have 3 kids and a Grandson.

Why would the media care about us.
