Bunch of cloggers that never seem to go on a bad run of form.

I think they’ve been a good addition personally, they’ve had a good go at it unlike someone like Norwich for example

Ancelotti has the highest win percentage of any manager in Real Madrid's entire history at 75%.

3rd highest win rate of all Perma Everton managers so far.

Will count for sweet FA if we get off to a dodgy start by October next year.

Just been looking through the facts and compared to any other manager in Everton history, he actually has the greatest eyebrows.

We need to start realising that whilst Carlo isnt God, hes head and shoulders above any utter clown we have had in our history.

No im not calling HK a clown, but, well you know.

We shall see. The idea he gets praised for today and chastised by some for the Newcastle game doesn't sit comfortably with me. He needs to be judged from the summer onwards and even then he should be judged with realistic expectations.

We can already envisage what this forum will be like after the next 5 fixtures and our position in the league table, yet very little of it will actually be down to our manager.

I would gladly put £20 on Everton to finish top 4 and win the Europa League in 2020/21 but I doubt bookies will price that up. A problem I see is if Everton start doing really well with his new signings and so on, elite established CL clubs will begin to try and snatch him from us & I wouldn't want the board to give him the blessing to leave.

Have you even watched a single game they've played bar the goodison one.

Awful shout.

This will be his last club job before Italy, years down the line. Relax.

Leonard Rossiter was a fine actor and a blue! Not sure of the point here?

The "Point" is that he is vastly over-qualified to manage a mid-range English club like Everton.

So why is he here? Money is the answer - and big effing money at that.

While that's mostly true, you can bet if he was really just about the money he could have gone to China to earn at least twice what we're paying him for much, much less pressure in his role. I think it's a combination of 50% financial, 50% genuinely being interested in the project. What's money to him? He'll have about 100m in the bank.
