2019/20 Carlo Ancelotti

Heads falling off all over this week.

In hindsight I find it a bit bemusing we’ve went and hired Ancelotti and made him one of the best paid managers in the World. It isn’t anything to do with his talent as a manager, it’s purely because the Board are seemingly not going to back him to get us competing for the Champions League and now one of our few players worth a carrot is flirting with other clubs looking for a way out.

We could’ve just got any manager off the merry-go-round who’d have us in the same position in mid-lower table.

They have gone for a top class manager in the hope he can build and motivate a team given time.
If we are expecting instant success next season, we are almost certainly going to be very disappointed unless we have an incredible slice of luck.
Replacing an entire first team in one go is never going to happen.
Even if you ignore the prohibitive cost , the time it would take to blend so many players into a cohesive, effective unit would put us in jeopardy of having a poor even disastrous season.
Instead he will work with the players we have and introduce two or three judicious purchases and continue to add and improve incrementally over each successive transfer window. It may take two or three seasons to get the team performing at the levels he is capable of coaching to.
We have to be patient ,club and fans , and weather any setbacks or poor runs.
Another managerial change will probably finish us at this point.

Champions League is a big step, but where's it said that they aren't going to back him?

It is but it is also a step the club must make.

I believe Brands has already said to not expect any big names.

When did he say this mate?

We can’t attract big names anyways. Only those who are at the arse end of their careers and want a last pay day.

We have some of the most patient fans around. Still selling the ground out after the worst 25 years in the club’s history.

We have to start making huge steps. You only have to look at the huge steps Liverpool took under Klopp in a short space of time.

I'm not, and I hope nobody else is, expecting instant success. This is a process and the first thing the club needs to get in place is stability.

4 years is a short space of time?

At no point were Liverpool ever as bad as we have been in the last few years, and they came within 2 points of winning the league the year before Klopp was appointed. “But dey finished 8th” isn’t an answer either, they still had players like Coutinho, Firmino and Milner, they weren’t starting from the ground up with a squad full of absolute bottom half dross like we are. And at the end of the day, they’re Liverpool so they always have a pull and ability to attract top class players. If you’re expecting us to follow the path of Liverpool in the next few years then I have severely disappointing news for you.

If we got anywhere near where that shower are in four years I'd take it. We've got to be realistic, this ain't going to get fixed in a couple of seasons.

It’s a huge job. I genuinely believe Ancelotti wasn’t expecting it to be this bad. His job is to virtually bring in a whole new midfield, something which isn’t going to be done in the duration of one season. We desperately need a new right back, he needs to replace Baines and also address the goalkeeper situation. In true Everton fashion he’ll be given about 50p to spend unless we sell one of our biggest assets like Richarlison.

Didn't we already sign a highly rated young left back?

And who said it would be fixed in 1 season?

Everyone just chill, Carlo's got this.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I do get the feeling he’s been fed a “project” that doesn’t really exist.
