We’d played all of the good sides when he left.

We played Chelsea, Leicester, United, Arsenal and City in less than a month after he left.

Edit: Leicester was the cup game, but still.

Nothing wrong with Carlo, it's the players with the pea-sized balls who will continue to scupper this.

I have visions of Ancelotti chatting to Conte and Allegri and pissing himself telling them about how his new club's players are frightened to play on their own pitch.

‘How’s it been going Carlo?’ ‘I spent all last week on the training pitch teaching Morgan Schneiderlin and Michael Keane to pass the ball forwards, only to get to match day and they completely ignored it’

We played Leicester and City while he was manager too. And Arsenal and United aren’t good sides.

Marco Silva was out of his depth here, Morshiri gambled that he would be a young fresh next big thing but got it wrong.

Carlo has seen it and done it

Can seriously compete for top 4 as early as next season under Carlo.

Injured players will return, new additions and hopefully a lot of players let go.

We are so lucky

love to see a fully fledged CA team here I reckon we have pieces but no doubt the midfield is not up to the standard he expects

Imo, we still have a bang average team. As much as I don’t like to put all fault on a manager, or the players for that matter, it is clear that this good run must be because of the one thing that has changed with this team; the addition of Ancelotti.

Tbf the turn of form started with big Dunc and the change of formation and a kick up the arse for the players. Just goes to show how completely inept Silva was with his bog standard 4231 groundhog day tactics as this is the same squad now as it was under silva. We are lucky to have Ancelloti in charge and any doubts about his commitment must be in the bin now. Coming here for the money etc, is he motivated after Napoli blah blah blah. Hes literally won everything there is to win in European football so will quickly weed the weak links of the squad out.

Kaka, Pirlo, Seedorf, Zindane just a few names he has managed...

Zidane wasn’t just managed by Ancelotti, but was taught how to manage by him, according to Zidane, of course.

when Zidane, R7, Kaka, Pirlo and Maldini speak glowingly of you then you must be doing something right

I honestly don't agree Dave, the reason he doesn't stay long at clubs is purely down to the type of Club he has been managing. He states in his book that he wanted the PSG gig to be long term, he then goes onto say that he hopes the Bayern job will be a long term gig. If given an opportunity to finally build his own team then it's here and now and I think he will see it through to the new stadium.

Exactly
I think he wants this to be his last job
Take an under performing club with ambition and money and bring them somewhere special.
It would be a fitting end to a stellar career if he could get us a couple of pots and CL a couple of seasons in a row,
Carlo leading Everton out to the sirens and Z cars on a warm Wednesday night in BMD in the CL would be a nice end to his career
