I’m surprised that some of you are surprised.... did you not think he was on cruise control waiting for his next big job?
Seriously we need a manager who thinks he or she is lucky to be here, not us lucky to have them. We’re the 10th team in England not anywhere near the top.

This is exactly how I feel, we played a few decent games under Ancelotti but some of the other games especially at home were truly dismal.
Being blunt, Carlos Ancelotti was always the wrong manager for Everton. I said it at the time and was criticized by others who were too blinded by the shininess of a big name manager. In reality, he offered nothing other than the appeal of signing big names in the transfer market. And excessive transfer spending always appeals to fans.
But this was a problem, not a solution. Everton, under new ownership, have been guilty of trying to become a top four simply by throwing money at the transfer market and it has repeatedly failed.
Everton needed a David Moyes but fans didn’t want him and complained at having him back. The club needs a manager with a style, a plan, a concept for building a way into the top 4.
There is a chance now to repair the mistake: Nuno, Eddie Howe, Chris Wilder, Graham Potter, even Pochinetto (unlikely perhaps). A manager who can have realistic expectations and a budget to build carefully, not a manager with a budget to spend recklessly and fecklessly.
Ancelotti was always but always the wrong manager for Everton and so now we have stupidly high expectations which always lead to disappointment and I deeply suspect the Board realised their mistake halfway through the season.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if Ancelotti realised it too; there have been persistent rumours that he wasn’t happy or settled and that the players weren’t responding to his methods. All these claims about loving the club, the fans, the area and wanting a project are just PR statements that every manager trots out from time to time.
(And no to Benitez and Bielsa btw)

Maybe but I know we have a team of absolute turd who have no passion or desire to do well at this club. Could have the best manager in the world over seeing this current crop and they wouldn’t get so much of a sprint out of any one of them.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
He did. He couldn't get average players to play better than average and found a 20 a season striker in all that.
We're back to square one

I didn't say everyone was. But there were plenty. And my point remains. If those people weren't happy with Carlo Ancelotti as manager, and weren't prepared to give him time, then I genuinely don't know who they would be happy and patient with. It's just going to be a never ending circle of woe.
Appoint a manager. Manager assesses squad. Manager makes do until squad is transformed. Team struggles. Manager leaves. Appoint a manager.
Maybe it is, but in my opinion, the squad, including some of our better players, has flattered to deceive for too long. The so called star players have a contradictory effect on the squad. They provide moments of hope that having such quality means we are only a few steps away from achieving something, yet when they under perform they hold us back from ever truly making any real changes.
In this instance, I can't see any of those players being happy playing under Eddie Howe or the likes. So you have to go out and somehow top the appointment of Ancelotti to keep them happy. But anyone who comes in will want to add to the squad, so we spend another small fortune on players in an attempt to make something of the ones we have. And the circle continues.
If we have the financial backing to say "F@#£ it, let's go nuts" and go and get a top name, then it doesn't make sense with the current big name manager walking out on a long term project. And if we are struggling to meet those needs, and we have to cut our cloth accordingly, a modest managerial appointment with a genuine long term strategy and full squad overhaul is what is needed.
At this point in time, it looks like an absolute mess and like most of us, I have no idea what's going on. But any and all optimism I had, even with our dreadful form at the back end of the season, has vanished.
Back to the drawing board.
