2019/20 Carlo Ancelotti

[riddick]

Should've gone all out for Arteta. Already transformed Arsenal defensively and won a cup. Competing for the top 4 next season. While we sit in mid table, with Sigurdsson pulling the strings and everyone creaming themselves cos we have a world class manager.

Yeah, he's done extremely well with the 2 world class forwards, the 80m signing they made last year, the backup keeper being as good as the starter. That's an easy job to get relative success early. There is no doubt in my mind they will not be competing for top-4 at all. Don't see why anyone thinks he's a genius manager.

 

[Billy Dean]

Imagine your DoF being that garbage at bringing players in that your world class Manager gets cheesed off.
I don’t believe the actual report but I do believe Ancelotti will become more and more frustrated.
We surely can’t run the risk of losing him

Reading between the lines it seems the problem is the people above Brands.

 

[Kenshin]

People still forget that we have several high earners on the payroll we need to get rid of before we can start bringing players in.

Discuss bolasie and siggurdsons quality all you want but they need to go before we can start to do business.

Literally hundreds of thousands a week being wasted away and people still don't get why we aren't signing a load of players.

Carlo needs to drop the likes of Siggy, Davies and give young players a chance with message go out and win. Also advise them to watch videos of Neville and see what a "B" he was.

The Don naming Iceland skipper yesterday was a right kick in the knackers - I hope it doesn't mean that Carlo thinks Iceland's got a future with us - that ship has sunk, and I don't care he scored twice.

I wouldn't have the ghost anywhere near the first team, let alone skipper - captains are supposed to be a reflection of the manager in the pitch.

The people above Brands have supplied 100’s of million of pounds and we’re in a worse position than even under Billy Bullshtter, I’d say the problem lies with managers and DOF’s..

They all have a hand in the mess.

Stories from more than 1 source about how the likes of BK and FM have undermined him on occasion

So when we signed Ancelotti, his remit was you have to sell before you can buy.
No chance would he of signed for Everton under them constraints, his age/reputation in the game would of made him laugh at that type of offer
People believed in getting Ancelotti, he would be given the funds to build a squad that could challenge the top 6. I think it is a reasonable assumption by people...

Struggling to think of anyone else who could be another option.
We lack leaders.
He's not spoilt for choice on that one.

I think it would have been established first and foremost, especially given those who do need to leave are clearly not good enough for the manager to take us to the next level.

For what it's worth, ancelotti will get the funds needed to take us to top 6 and beyond. There's a difference between funds and wages. Funds can be unlimited but wages are what hinders the club. The higher the wage bill , the more unsustainable the playing squad becomes without top end success.

I've said it before but if we shipped out a total of 5 players now , we would free up enough weekly wages to pay 10. On the basis we aren't offering them 100 grand a week on top of that.

The money is there , I'm not doubting that notion. But it's hard to spend 50 million on a player to improve the squad when you have 5 or so players who noone wants to buy costing you 500 grand a week.

Greaty market, hadn’t crossed my mind in Years. Happy days.

I’m afraid it’s not as good as it was as in those happy days, I think that’s why they gave the job to Denise, hoping she’ll throw her hand in and ask for her cards.

 

[Sphincter Sports]

Ancelotti is a vastly successful , experienced and seemingly intelligent person. I think it’s highly improbable that he entered into a contract without being fully informed and fully aware of our current spending constraints and squad capabilities.
He has signed a long term contract and has stressed many times that he sees his task as a gradual transformation of a mid table club into one that can challenge at the top.
He knows it will take time but a portion of our fans refuse to accept this and are intent on instant gratification. If these fans were to be appeased we would continue in the state of destructive instability in which we have been mired for several seasons.
Such periods of instability are increasingly dangerous and usually presage disaster.

I think our fans would be happy if we were seeing gradual inprovement but we are not, let's just hope you are right about Carlo and we do see the improvement we all want over this coming season.
