2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[the sniderman]

it seems the jury has reached its verdict. thank u for ur service. now take that slimeball away.

I think it’s quite hilarious the lengths his fanboys go to. What’s he won here?

Also, it’s not like we’ve been blessed with stellar managers over the past 35 years to compare him to, is it?

How is he comparing with his managerial peers who are on a similar wage?

How about that kendall bloke, how did he do in his first 18 months?!

We haven't finished 8th. And it's a bit misleading given that we are 5 points off 4th with a game in hand. But whatever suits your narrative.

To be fair we are nearer 8th than 4th. Games in hand and point from 4th are ‘what ifs’.
Ancelotti is doing an Ok job, will anyone else do better.
My only issue is he gets away with things our previous managers wouldn’t.

Its cos he has a track record non of our others had. That might turn out to be a smoke screen for all I know, but until he has his team on the pitch, I for one will be patient.

Suggesting we are nearer 8th than 4th, when we are 8th is an odd metric.

We are closer to 4th than 12th.

He 'gets away with things' because he wins games our other managers would not, he attracts players our other managers would not, he views our club in the same way as he views the very biggest clubs in the world and he brings with him the very best of managerial records.

Information has it Utd would'nt let Lingard come here anyway.

I don’t blame them, he wouldn’t be half as effective playing in our midfield, imagine making run after run and watching your team mates pass it backwards and sideways instead.

 

[Terrarian]

I don't see it as getting away with things, i just think his achievements and record afford him that extra leeway the likes of Silva won't get. He has earned that right.

I will fella. I’m not anti Carlo - I just don’t think he’s a right fit for Everton. We need a young manager who can manage a long term project and someone who has a style of play. We’re not going to ever compete with Chelsea and Man City for players. We need to bring through youth, develop the academy and be shrewd in the market. Not sign more JRs who are always injured.

carlo has always had ready made stars in every position. It’s never going to work here for him.

Martinez as Silva... They worked ot well.

 

[Death]

Once upon a time I could only dream of having Carlo Ancelotti as manager of Everton and seeing world class players like James Rodriguez playing in the Royal Blue with a new Stadium set to open in 3 years.

Is it the most Everton thing that with all this CA cant finish higher in the league than a Big Sam Everton side!

Failure to qualify for Europe will have to be seen as a failure by this Owner, Manager, Players & Staff. Heads need to roll or we become accepting of failure!

Season ain't over mate.

 

[blueblue]

I respect your opinion and respectfully disagree. Managing Maldini and the like is easier than managing Coleman and Sigurdsson. World class players do the work for you.

But why are they appointed to manage world class players. .. because they are world class managers.

The bar at the world's biguest clubs is set at an incredibly high level. Longevity is not a word you would use when describing a managers career.

I think we came away from that model to try and give Carlo the tools to get us into Europe, however all our main transfers have been injured for long periods effectively leaving him the same midfield as last season and before which isn't good enough by any stretch.

Too many injuries too key players and we get this because he doesn't trust the fringe players to perform so he shuts up shop instead.

Agreed.

I think the point that people may be missing is that our injuries this season is not shockingly bad but that unlike Chelsea, Utd or City we do not have the squad to cope with these injuries. ... yet.

We have seen our neighbours suffer from the same problem. They ranted and raved about their injury problems but a lot of injuries wereto players that were not regular starters, they simply did not have the squad to cope.

This is what Marcel Brands said when he first came, he said patience was needed to build a club.

 

[Terrarian]

I'd imagine his managerial wage peers are all at bigger clubs than him working with far better players, what's the point exactly, he isn't going to be doing as well as them, crackers comment.(not directed at you Phil)

Probably more reason to keep him then if he's already 3rd in hour history in 1 and a half season then you absolute whopper.

 

[Bluestar]

It's times like this I'm grateful Moshiri calls the shots rather than some of these tools who want a new manager everytime we fail to win a game.

We need to stick with Ancelott and give him the time to rebuild the club. He’s no Silva or Koeman and he will come good. Players enjoy playing for him and with time, the squad will improve.
