2019/20 Carlo Ancelotti

[Simon Buttle]

Who is that?

the esk mate, i just have very little time for his antics, he capped it off for me with that strange tweet when Silva was sacked about how he felt the club should have consulted him over it, i just find him a very odd individual.

Yeah I can kind of imagine our billionaire world class accountant and his oligarch best friend know what they're doing.

Not according to the Esk and others on twitter hence it getting regurgitated in here. I’ll worry if and when we do a Leeds. Literally no point worrying about something we can do nothing about and know very little facts about.

You do realise FFP isnt that simple?

For example signing Gbamin for £25 million on a 5 year deal means for 2019/20 Everton have spent £5 million in FFP terms in the accounts on that deal alone.

Whereas selling Gana for £30 million when he was signed means our profit in terms of FFP factors in both what we paid for him initially and how long left in his contract he was on.

Probably exactly why we got rid of Rooney

You realise as @davek is posting he is doing this to your reactions

Close but I think it's a little more like this.

What's this?

Ever since Ancelotti has been sacked at Napoli, Napoli has been on a downward spiral. Out of five regular season matches they have won only one, and that was with a lower team Sassuolo. He was sacked after the match at Genk winning 4-0. He guided a weak team to victory against Liverpool, beating them 2-0 only weeks before. The only team to beat Liverpool up to now.
So the obvious result of all of this is:
1. Ancelotti makes too many mistakes
2. Ancelotti uses a tired and old system
3. His management days are clearly over
4. He cannot win without “stars”
5. His time is over...time to retire
6. He is prone to mistakes
7. All of the above

Let’s sack him now and get Moyes straight away!

French outlet France Football have put together the list of the top 50 of all time based on trophies won, influence on the game, their personality and how it has influenced managers who have followed. Ajax, Barcelona and Netherlands legend Rinus Michels tops the list and considering without him there would have been no Johan Cruyff or Pep Guardiola it's pretty understandable. Sir Alex Ferguson is second on the list, and again with his trophies it's not surprising. But further down the list there is quite some controversy:

Possibly the biggest controversy is Jurgen Klopp's placing above Arsene Wenger, with the Liverpool boss placed in 27th and the former Arsenal boss down in 32nd. Klopp has so far only won two league titles, both in Germany with Borussia Dortmund, whilst Wenger won three Premier League titles with the Gunners. It does seem likely that Klopp will add a Premier League trophy to his CV this season however. The Frenchman is also credited with modernising the English game and bringing new ideas that had never been used before on these shores.

Bob Paisley and Zinedine Zidane have won the Champions League or European Cup three times as manager, putting them top of that chart, but sit in 26th and 22nd on the list. Carlos Ancelotti has also won the competition three times, with AC Milan and Real Madrid, but is much higher in eighth place.
Pep Guardiola is on the list in fifth, behind the man who led him at Barcelona, Cruyff, but if he manages to win the quadruple this season he could find himself even higher up.

Carlo was the best available choice. Duncan was possibly too big a risk and him staying on for the experience could see him get his shot eventually. Nigel Pearson was the only other great shout and we left it too late there.

Always liked Ancelotti no matter who he managed. I think we just need to be patient (I know we've been really patient with some managers). He's took a gamble on us as it's a complete rebuild for him. Even if he brings his nous and winning experience to us that's a positive in itself.

I hope he is here in 2 or 3 years and changed the mentality of the playing squad. This guy is a winner and we need to keep faith with him even if we have some annoying results like Wednesday.

Criteria including 'influence on the game and personality'.

A complete nonsense of an exercise.

well we cant sack him now its too late

 

[Bob Elstone]

I’m still in shock we have ancelotti. Absolutely fantastic appointment. Please back him.

 

[Jamalio Danubio DiCanio]

They are off all weekend

They probably need some rest after the heavy Xmas schedule.

with no games to recuperate from they’ll still have a good 5 days to prepare on the training pitch for the next game.

bet that is much longer than Carlo has had previously

Phil Brown had a whacky personality when he was Hull manager, so I'm assuming that's lobbed him into the top 20

Because realistic expectations might stop people's heads falling off when we're not in Leicester's position this time next year. We all hope Ancelotti is the man but there are never any guarantees in football. Especially when he's competing with teams that have better resources and are a bigger draw than us.

Results so far this year have already lowered my expectations -- a defensive approach and subsequent defeat at Man City, arguably the worst result in our history at Anfield in which the manager showed no notion of how to get to grips with what was happening on the pitch in the second half, an unexceptional winning performance against Brighton, just one point against an abject West Ham, and most recently the Newcastle debacle coming after some, at best, questionable late substitutions.
