2020/21 Carlo Ancelotti

[Brennan]

I'm buzzing. It'll suck when we hire Howe, but right now it is a brilliant development as it gives us a free shot at resetting ourselves and heading the right direction.

Are you into nipple clamps as well ?

Only Everton could dredge mediocrity for years and them very same managers end up at Real Madrid, Barcelona and Belgium national team.

@Kev The Rat people like you deserve f n Eddie Howe you beaut

you said you're no longer a fan, so you can do one.

 

[HokieToffee]

Bring in Berhalter and Pulisic. It's the only way my pain can be dulled.

 

[RomanReigns]

Can we sign Harry Potter his side plays decent togger

The majority of people in the world would view him as a coward if he took the safe option of staying at Everton.

If he’d won with Everton it would have proved he could have done it anywhere. He didn’t want to though so he’s off to a club where he’ll either win immediately or be sacked.

Carlo is obviously a great manager. I don’t think he’s done a brilliant job so far. But any manager probably needs more than 1.5 seasons to turn things around. Carlo leaving now robs the opportunity of seeing how he would have built on the building blocks he put in place so far.

A new manager, with potentially a different philosophy, will probably be starting from scratch. Will he want some of the players brought in by Carlo? Will some of the players fought in by Carlo want to stay and play under a new manager?

On one hand this provides an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and get a new progressive, younger coach on board. Equally it potentially spells the start another era of uncertainty and rebuild. One where the rebuild might be about to start at time zero for another 2/3 year plan.

Everton, by definition, exist in an "era of uncertainty and rebuild." That's the way the game is now. Give a manager "time" and either he'll fail or he'll have some success. If an Everton manager fails, we enter "an era of uncertainty and rebuild". If he has some success, he will be poached and we enter "an era of uncertainty and rebuild". The days of "project" managers are over. You come in, you get two years. If you've done well, you'll be poached. If you haven't, you'll be sacked. A proper Director of Football-run operation would mitigate the dangers of this. Us? We thought all our Christmases had come when we snared Carlo.

I don't want any talk of long-term projects. Everton is a season-to-season job. The best we can hope for is we are in a better state after two years, max, of the latest manager.

Eddie here we go.

neither are you wanting him out you utter weapon

 

[peteblue]

Give the bleeding job to Dunc and let him kick the arses of all the lazy buggers....... *shakes fist at God and asks why can‘t we have nice things happen to us......

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

I’m beyond devastated. Seriously what’s f n point

This is honestly how I feel.

There’s only so many times you can get hoofed in the balls and keep coming back for more.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

This is exactly why managers should not have a say in our transfers in future - zero say.

Brands needs to clear out his desk then because I don't trust him to do it on his own

Imagine the outright pure stupidity of telling a manager they can't have any say in their playing squad

Just unreal

Remember the time in the New Year when we were sitting 4th and could have made a proper go at the top 4 by making a few additional quality signings and we ended up taking Bournemouth’s Josh King on loan for 6 months instead?

Good times ay.
