The comment about investing heavily on players who are internationals would tell me that he wants Ancelotti to work with what he's got.

He will have to work with what he has got to a large extent, re-building takes time, money, and patience.

Three successful signings down the spine of the team would work wonders for us.

We can aim for those in January or the summer but too many signings too soon has been a downfall of its own with us and just breeds instability and incoherency.

But I'd still expect him to unlock an improvement in results working with what he has got.

The standard in the league is dreadful overall, so having a manger of real calibre should bring an upturn in itself really, notwithstanding the considerable work that lies ahead.
 
A lot of the problems have come from managers simply making the incorrect decisions and repeating these decisions and hoping for different outcomes.

Martinez with his defending, set-pieces and having absolutely zero plan B even when we got worked out. Didnt we have our worst home record including 93/94 and 97/98 in his last season? He also insisted on playing Tim Howard who I recall was directly at fault for about 20 goals that season that a League One keeper would have stopped.

Koeman was a self-serving imbecile. He bought players at "their peak" but forgot to buy quality players at their peak. He was sacked for buying Cuco, Klassan, Williams, Bolasie, Vlasic, etc etc etc for absolute extortionate fees and not replacing Lukaku. He also presided over the sale of Stones, Barkley, Deulofeu and Lukaku who would probably still be the spine of our team now.

Allardyce was non-football men absolutely panicking. We stumbled and laboured to 8th under Fat Sam playing the worst football I have ever seen. A quality appointment would have got us to Europe easily. Relegation was never a threat.

Silva was a combination of all of the above. Bottom line though, when you continually pick Walcott, Schnedierlin and DCL when they are performing like League Two players, when you cant defend set-pieces and you go into the season without a centre-half or striker improvement then you will struggle. The injuries got the the sack (early) but that has been a godsend because we have now got Ancelotti. Silva's squad under Carlo will come close to Europe this season and would have broke the top 6 without those injuried to JP and Gomes.

Relax blues, it will all come good. We now have a manager who will instill leadership, organisation and trust from the fans.
 
At least he speaks to the media rather than being aloof and distant. I like that.

And if I had put in huge amounts of money into a club to try and improve it I'd say exactly what I thought and if you dont like it then lump it.

I think we are a tad ungrateful at times.
 

I don't think he's said much wrong there, maybe just worded it a bit weirdly but it's not far off the mark with what he's said about everything. It will take us years also to get our financial platform to match our ambition as fans but with patience, good support and good appointments like Ancelloti we will get there imo. Moshiri is just bad a speaking in the press, I don't think he's a problem with us as fans etc and wants us to succeed
 
Don't think the fans give him enough respect to be honest. Things haven't gone to plan but he has repeatedly put his money where his mouth is and we are now looking forward to a new stadium under a genuinely world class manager.

Wasn't too long ago we had gone about 3 windows without signing a player, had multiple stadium proposals fall through and had a manager happy to keep the status quo, spouting his "knife to a gun fight" rhetoric as a get out of jail free card.
 
"disowned" by fans is a bit strong, questions will be asked of you tho for sure...as last sason they were of Silva but then he turned it around and the fans were back on side for a while.
This season we lose at home to Sheff Utd and Norwich in the space of a month and enough is enough...hes obviously not the man to take us forward

He’s right about the fans.

Premature booing and hissing has hindered our progress, I’ve yet to hear a good argument otherwise.

It’s frustrating but if people want to pay money and boo the players then that’s part of Everton.

Let’s not forget that John Stones and Ross Barkley left the club , and they both had issues with the fans behaviour.

I think it would be incredibly naive to ever assume that the players behind closed doors weren’t saying “these lot are hard work” because of course they will be.

They both left because they felt they were bigger than us as a club mate. Nothing to do with getting grief off of fans, it was about money and trophies.

This. He's put loads into the transfer budget and has a new stadium on the horizon. Now have all his hires paid off? No but he's backed his managers in the market and will do the same with Carlo

Exactly this.

And if he worded it a bit strangely he probably did a better job than any of us would do if we were trying to speak Iranian.

Doing any interview is a minefield these days while there is a generation of people on hair triggers to find something to be offended by. If it carries on the same people will be lamenting that nobody gives interviews anymore ffs.
 
Reading between the lines, it doesn’t sound like there is going to be lots of money in Jan, as Mosheri says he has spent a lot already, that to me sounds like make these buffoons into a team

Yeah we have spent a lot, you cant keep just throwing money at it, we need a quiet window.
This squad is better then bottom 6 if we can just get 8th then build for next year
