Waste of time getting him just like it's a waste of time bringing in Grealish and having two street dogs up front.

You can still be overrated even with trophies. Look at Sebastian Vettel for example30 odd trophies, makes him one of the most successful elite manager's in history.
Never a good fit for us at that time, though.

To be honest I wasn't even that excited when we appointed him as Ancelotti has never been my kind of manager. He's clearly very good especially the man management side but I never particularly felt he was dynamic in any way and he hasn't always had great seasons even when he's had a squad of world class players to choose from (Chelsea and Bayern Munich he got sacked from for not getting the best out of world class players) Plus he's not a long term builder and saddled us with ageing rubbish like Allan and Rodriguez who after shining early for us did nothing of note thereafter. I just think fans get carried away by 'reputations' like people who get sucked in by the celebrity circus of the celebrity worldAbsolutely.
But not a manager that sits in the 99th percentile for trophies won.
Let's be honest, there was no such thing as a good fit for any club run by Kenwright and Moshiri. Moyes did well for the fans - but amazingly well for Kenwright. That difference was telling. Truth be told, we were irrelevant under those two no matter who was manager.30 odd trophies, makes him one of the most successful elite manager's in history.

I believe the story was he phoned them!Everyman and his dog knows that Carlo answered the phone and on the other end of the phone was Real Madrid. That was him gone. What is the point of dredging this up years later??
Charles Calthrop, not seen him mentioned in ages.
He also had Holgate and Godfrey as our full backs and playing the most depressing defensive football going losing at home to an already relegated Sheff Utdhe also had Tom Davies looking like Ambrosini at one point and Holgate looking like he was going to play for England
he elevated some really average players
DCL never looked as good again.he also had Tom Davies looking like Ambrosini at one point and Holgate looking like he was going to play for England

Phwoar!DCL never looked as good again.
Except in a skirt.
Simply saying, it was a waste of time bringing in a manager who quite obviously was going to ditch us as soon as a bigger club flashed their undies, just like it's a waste of time bringing in Grealish whose great work mostly comes to nothing due to what's ahead of him on the field.And where's the correlation here???
