That should qualify as incompetent at his job and deserves sacking. Pundits talk so much bollocks it's unreal.

I never listen to any of the pundits either. The vast majority are clueless and talk absolute wham. I never watch Match of the Day on live TV for that reason. I always watch the recording on Sunday morning, so I can fast forward all the punditry and all the post-match interviews, too, apart from Everton's. I can then just watch the footy and not have to listen to bellends like Danny Murphy.

The problem with pundits is they completely insult the intelligence of the fan base like what our eyes tell us is wrong. They have the hindsight of games and slow mo replays and still can't get anything right.

I don't think they insult fan's intelligence. Most footie fans are dolts. Have you ever listened to the talksport phone in?

This season will be exciting but I’m looking forward to future seasons as well, imagine Ancelotti with this team (and some more signings) in the europa league, we’d make the latter stages with ease most seasons. Imagine if he took us into the top 4, I’d back him to get us out of most of those CL groups also. Exciting times ahead, he is showing that there is just no substitute for a world class manager. There are not many about and we have one of the best. Guardiola, Mourinho, Conte, Klopp, Zidane, Ancelotti. He’s in that very top tier and right now you’d arguably not swap him for any on that list and theyre the best managers in the world. We cannot do better than him.

imagine he had us in the CL though. We could inflict serious damage in whichever of the top 6 didn’t make it in. Ancelotti and James Rodriguez with CL football or Solskjaer and United in the europa? We’d be a massively different proposition. He could change the future of the whole club if he is backed, stays long enough, and we get the bit of luck that has eluded us for over 20 years.

Eventually, the match going fans will have a part to play. When the inevitable poor performances / losses occur over the next couple of years, they'll need to show patience and understanding. This (I believe) would play some small part in keeping Carlo at the helm. At his age and with his wealth, he doesn't need nonsense!
The clinching factor though is obviously the financing of the squad. James, DCL and Richy need deals at the end of this season which make predators gulp! I believe he then (with Marcel) needs to upgrade in four positions: GK, RB, Gomez and spare forward.
Pickford may up his game which would allow extra for the rest.
As you say, CL is a real possibility. When people on here were rightly moaning about some of the performances after the restart, he was dropping less than subtle hints about his aims. I suspect he wants to build a title winning side. Taking us from tinpot wannabes to champions would be the cherry on top of the cake for a man who has done it all.
There's nothing in any rule book which says we must know our place. With unfailing support from the match goers and good financing, we'll be seeing the greatest come back since Lazarus! In my opinion.
