2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[Ancelotti]

im not saying we'l bring in 10 quality players but we can all dream that
we have a clear out.

A few seasons ago leicester did the great escape then won the league the following season whilst favourites to go down, 5000-1 to win the league. After reading that and taking it into consideration having a clear out of 7-10 players seems doable right? Anything can happen in football...

Dream away mate. I’m being realistic. A clear out takes years. Our fans won’t put up with the negative Carlo-ball whilst we all wait for us to bring in 11/12/13 new signings. They’re starting to turn and rightly so;

I believe he is the right manager but the players attitude stinks to high heaven. Embarrassed tonight after watching that. Some of those players need booting ASAP.

Hows it going gwladysblue.
Nice to see you back.

At one point in his post match interview Carlo said he was ‘Hangery’

Can someone please nip down to Goodison Supper Bar and get him a bag of chips!
Jeez!

And that’s your debate? That’s your piece of wisdom, your support for Ancelotti backed up with that argument?

Don’t become a lawyer mate.

Not even City do that. It’s going to take multiple seasons to get rid of the waste, we’ll probably sign a few more bits of waste during that time as well such is the law of averages when it comes to signings.

The way City have built their squad over the years is a bit mad - They had a really successful transfer splurge in 10/11 (Dzeko, Toure, Balotelli, Silva, Kolarov etc) and have had at least one big hit in each year subsequently (Aguero came in the year later)

They then had one of the worst transfer windows a team could have in 12/13 when they signed Javi Garcia, Matija Nastavic(?) Jack Rodwell, Scott Sinclair and Maicon!

They followed that up over the next 2 years with the signings of Jovetic, Negredo, Navas, Demichelis, Mangala, Bony, Reges and Sagna

So they basically had 3 years of signing utter dreck

Thanks! No one has ever called me sensible before!

I like the fact you've come back as a reincarnation of ancelotti though. Its the attention to detail of your disguise that seperates you as a genius.

Ancelotti is a symptom of the disconnect that the club has at the very top level. We've subscribed to a Director of Football model essentially in the hope that we can get back to what we had with Moyes; that is to say, a football club geared at every level towards a particular style of play and vision for how Everton should be, which is when we are at our most successful. Moyes had it with us because Kenwright gave him the power to decide how the club was run at every level, and Brands' being at the club was sold on the grounds of us getting back to that effective long-term planning. Regardless of whether you like Brands, I think it's relatively clear that for Everton to be competitive, we need someone in that role who will emphasise the long-term over the short-term.

Where the disconnect lies is with Moshiri, and his desire to appoint 'Hollywood' managers who will naturally clash with the long-term approach, based off of their experience; you get the sense that this is why the club were so reluctant to part with Silva. The good news is that Ancelotti is unquestionably an excellent manager; the bad news is that there is a far, far bigger spectre lurking overhead Goodison - what happens when he goes? To me, I'm nowhere near as worried about the short-term as I am about the long-term health of the club; we've already seen what happens when you put a sub-par manager in control (Silva, Koeman), so you have to worry about where we go post-Ancelotti.

All bad performances aside and he isnt exempt from criticism but this fella is the right man in charge to take us forward.

There is zero chance. It’s pure fantasy thinking like that.

We’re not Man City. We don’t just snap our fingers and bring in ten very good players to replace the dross.

we need a long term vision and project - not the shambles we’re currently pretending will come to fruition just because we’ve got an old man in charge who won trophies with squads that were already full of world class and talented players.

Hello mate. That's a bit ageist don't you think?

I decided to angrily sleep on it before I posted in here. You can't polish a turd no matter how hard you try. Flush a load of them out in the summer and take it from there.

Hello...hello

They look woefully coached to me. Get Paul Clement in or similar ASAP.

I mentioned this a few weeks back. Carlo paired up with him successfully at Chelsea and Real Madrid. Could be worth a try.

There’s still not one credible name anyone has put forward for the question of ‘if not Ancelotti then who?’. Rodgers has better players at Leicester but still has been afforded time that some don’t want to afford to Ancelotti. Bielsa was also afforded far more time. These are the only names that anyone puts forward for the job description of turning around one of the most disastrous institutions in English football from 30 years of going in the wrong direction.
