2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[Saint Domingo]

I haven't read his book, but I would imagine his "loyalty" doesn't extend to those who have none for him.

How loyal would Everton have been to Ancelotti if we were in the bottom half in November?

Must extend a certain bit because Madrid jibbed him off the season after winning the CL yet he’s ran back to them.

He hasn't taken that job as a favour to them.

No such thing as a favour when we’re paying him 11 million. We didn’t give him 11 million on the expectation that he was a bit too good for us so might only give us half an effort as a favour. For that fee we expected full commitment.

We gave him 11m because if we hadn't, he wouldn't have joined us at all.

Doesn’t matter, once we hit the magic number he accepted. If he didn’t want the job he could have said no to any amount of money. Once he signed there was an expectation that all parties would give their all. We were paying him very well to take us into the champions league and win us trophies. He obviously wanted to be at Madrid more.

I'm afraid if he'd done that, he'd have been paid even more than the 11m. 11m is his basic. His "turn up every day, pick the team and do your media duties" money. This is 3 time CL winner Carlo Ancelotti we're talking about.

He has gone. Close this effing thread.

Living in Madrid, working at a genuine Euro powerhouse with title and CL aspirations year in year out.

Living in Crosby, hoping for Europa Conference.

Get yer money on Atletico repeating their league triumph next season.

Barca and Real are now managed by former Toffees bosses.

I wish I could call in one of those machines from Dr. Who. TERMINATE, TERMINATE.

Or was it Exterminate?

Exactly, he is just a mercenary.

What has pissed people off royally is Carlo talking about building Everton and seeing it as a long term project. Talking about signing a new contract, so he could see us in the new ground. Above although his comments on the European Super league illustrate how two faced he is.

“They wanted to build a competition without sporting merit. This is not acceptable because in our culture, we were brought up to have sporting merit. They were wrong - full stop.”

This is the fella who has managed a Berlusconi funded Milan, an Abramovich funded Chelsea, a Qatar funded PSG and then jumped ship to manage Madrid.

He has the barefaced cheek to complain about sporting integrity when his entire career as a manager has been based on subverting sporting integrity. Even better, the hypocrite complains about sporting integrity and then joins a club whose President was running the ESL.
