Big Dunc as assistant.

All he have is a CV hes been a poor manager sincr bayern munih its a bad choice for us and you will see this in future. max 1 year later i will tell you i was right and you will agree with me

Fair enough mate. Who would you have wanted as manager considering Ferguson didn’t want the job at the moment.

Seem to be an awful lot of kopites on this forum shame that given their success they feel the need to come onto their "bitter blues" forum it's either that or some people are just trying to be the biggest WUMs I've ever come across.

One journo did outright ask that to be fair. Ancelotti answered 'the project, the ambition of the club'

Carlo also refuted the idea that he's only managed top clubs, referring back to his time at Reggiana, which is fair enough, though it was 24 years ago.

He then insisted that his Parma side was not a top team - though they had finished 2nd in Serie A the season before he joined and had players like Buffon, Cannavaro, Thuram, Baggio, Chiesa, Crespo and Asprilla - so perhaps he's not got a particularly strong memory.

Club usually give a guideline for questions prior to the presser. Some even insist on all questions being submitted prior to the presser so the phrasing can be pre-approved.

Many journo's don't want to go off-piste as, if they irk the club or Ancelotti, they won't be invited back or they'll receive less flexbility or less favourable access.

Wrong. Parma finished 5th the season before Ancelotti joined. They finished 2nd in Ancelotti's first season, which is still their best ever season in the league. He was saying they weren't a big club. Yes, they were a good team, but had never been in Serie A before the 1990's.

Parrots the lot of them.

Man Utd - 1990 - 13th (and 3 bottom half finishes in 4 seasons)
Man Utd - 1993 - Champion of England

Leeds United - 1990 - Second Tier of English Football
Leeds United - 1992 - Champions Of England

Blackburn Rovers - 1992 - Second Tier of English Football
Blackburn Rovers - 1995 - Champions Of England

Arsenal - 1995 - 12th
Arsenal - 1998 - Champions of England

Man City - 1999 - Third Tier of English Football
Man City - 2009 - Finished 10th (decade of fighting relegation)
Man City - 2012 - Champions of England

Chelsea - 1988 - Second Tier of English football
Chelsea - 1996 - 11th (and forever a mediocre club)
Chelsea - 1999 - 3rd
Chelsae - 2005 - Champions Of England

Leicester - 2015 - 15th
Leicester - 2016 - Champions of England


English football is litered with Clubs being mediocre for years only to dominate or win the league out of the blue. But the very BEST example of them all is the history of Everton.

EVERTON
1889 - 8th (out of 12 clubs)
1891 - Champions of England

1914 - 15th
1915 - Champions of England

1927 - 20th
1928 - Champions of England

1931 - Second Tier of English football
1932 - Champions of England

1938 - 14th
1939 - Champions of England

1960 - 16th
1963 - Champions of England

1966 - 11th
1970 - Champions of England

1980 - 19th
1981 - 15th
1985 - Champions Of England
1987 - Champions Of England


Everytime Everton has won the league, five seasons prior they either struggled or finished in the bottom half. Even in 1954 when they just missed out, they finished 16th the season prior.

Fabulous post.

This is correct, https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ACYBGNQpKZsfZaB2bEt717d_BhjTyrbQVQ:1577119044515&ei=RO0AXrGFH8XywQO0hJrIBQ&q=95+96+serie+a+table&oq=95+96+serie+a+table&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-serp.3..0i22i30j33i22i29i30l2.8594.9811..10426...0.1..0.126.640.2j4......0....1.........0i71j33i160.8Is95Hn9KRw#sie=lg;/m/0ghvjh;2;/m/03zv9;st;fp;1;;

Personally, I never believed this team was good enough to challenge the top six going into this season, but given the level of spending under recent managers that always has to be the target. The simple fact of matter is that a lot of our players just are not

But by your logic, the journalists were right then, when they were saying how well we'd spent and how we'd won transfer windows - and they are wrong now, when they're saying we got it wrong and that there's a lot of work to be done to get us to the level we aspire to?

Can't have it both ways mate.

I was mostly making the point that journalists (and fans alike) seem to parrot each other. And yes they also contradict each other. Fickle is what they are.

Ok, Parma finished 6th not 5th in 95/96. Kieran was saying they finished 2nd that season, before Ancelotti arrived, when they actually finished 2nd in Ancelotti's first season. That's my point.
