2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[blulouie]

Where did he lie? He never said I will turn down Real Madrid. It is obvious he didn’t expect to get another crack at winning another CL, honestly, I have no malice towards him

A week's a long time in footie it seems.

Well there were rumours the other day that brands vetoed some of the potential summer transfers. If it was true then he must have the power over the squad

If he vetoed getting Pedro in from Roma then that's fine by me.

 

[blue to the bone]

when Everton say he’s gone I will

until then I won’t

First stage of grief is denial .
He's walking out on us .
Let him off

 

[matty1878]

romano says here we go, it’s done

ffs

Meh still don’t by it

 

[Hesmagicuknow]

If anyone did know Zidane was leaving, it will be those ar Real Madrid, and is that was the case. Its entirely realistic that they started to sound out replacements.

And if all this is true and its pretty much a done deal, then its also safe to asume thats lots of the gorund-work had been done for a while.

If anyone knew, then I agree 100% with what you're saying. I just don't think anyone knew.

This entire forum is in shambles because of Fabrizio Romano. I fully believe what he says, and he said that no one knew Zidanes plans.

sorry - as in do you think he’s gone?
I’ve said what i think obvs been battered down

Matty i admire your stance on this and i was with you until today, but this is done mate.

 

[MikeH72]

Just noticed the esk has said there is no truth in the story - FFS he’s gone

He’s deliberately trolling at this point.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Stick a fork in me im done

This is worrying. Its been so easy its making me think we had a release clause that was absolute buttons

 

[BlueToff]

Hes an employee of the club who's paid to say those things though mate.

Honestly I wouldnt believe anything anyone said in football.

Like if you were managing Getafe, and Manchester City came knocking, are you leaving?

The situation is entirely different though mate, it really is. CA an older manager, been there, seen it and done it, clearly wanted to try something different and seemingly was all for it.

I don't see how this can't reflect badly on him, or Everton either. It just does. It's a mess but no beating around the bush, he's left us in the lurch.

 

[nsno-chris]

There's no if.

He does.

He's DoF - ultimate responsibility for overriding footballing strategy.

So those same players would be shown the door regardless of the manager then, surely

 

[Chrismac]

There's no if.

He does.

He's DoF - ultimate responsibility for overriding footballing strategy.

And if it's true then thats exactly the way it should be ran.
Club needs a long term plan more than a big time manager needs instant success for his declining CV.

What a day. This news and a family member has had the worst dump with the smell still lingering an hour later despite windows being open. I need a hug.
