[Toffeelover]

In a recent stat Evereton were ranked as the 8th biggest club in the football league.

Maybe his long term goal is to become the press adviser to Prince Andrew ?

I like Farhad.

He's a dreamer.

Not afraid to splash the cash.

 

[caught]

It's incredible: every time he speaks in public he comes across worse.

• We decided not to buy Sissoko because McCarthy is family
• Lukaku's grandmother is a voodoo witch
• We have our Fab Four: Bolasie, Tosun, Walcott, Sigurdsson
• I have an individual scrotum for each testicle

...all in the voice of some weird hybrid of a James Bond villain and a dodgy scout leader from the 70s.

Sounds like he's saying he brought Ancelotti in to deal with the pressure of the job and that cash isn't going to be made available in large amounts.

He makes no sense to me, and he never has.

Sounds like a tired, tired interview to me tinged with frustration, slowly been worn down. The connection seems to be depleting to me.

Not very complimentary of the fan base either, but Evertonians in particular have become very knee jerk since the expectation of a new owner arrivals has come it hasnt been our historic way, to be fair thats most of football these days.

Legendary figure at the club now.

He signed Ancelotti. He is building a new stadium. He is providing the fund to sign players.

Back the majority shareholder and Carlo. The future is blight very blight indeed.

 

[Zatara]

Nothing wrong with what he said...

 

[Shevin Keedy]

The future is blight very blight indeed.

Yes. It's also bright.

 

[wainy]

Can’t say he’s wrong about the fans, but when the club doesn’t win a trophy, or even really be competitive for 2 and a half decades then what do you expect. Goodwill has been in short supply the last few years for managers and it is what it is. Play with passion and pride and win, lose or draw, Goodison will always be behind the players and the manager.

 

[PeregrineT]

Hah, that was properly strange. Its not that hes wrong, because hes not, but its something you shouldnt say in public. Its pretty clear he really wanted Silva and didnt want to fire him, that he took his success personally because of him choosing him. That also makes it clear that Brands didnt choose Silva, and that Brands convinced him to fire Silva and hire Ancelotti. Even Billionaires get butthurt, but the difference is the good ones know to hire the right guy to run your business and then ultimately let him make the decisions even if you personally disagree.

Blight!!!!!!!

 

[AmericasToffee]

"Everton is a very, very difficult job in football because you’re two home losses from being disowned by fans."

He's absolutely right.

 

[KaiserEFC]

He’s a lunatic. The blame the fans lot on here will absolutely love him.

 

[hktoffee]

Yes. It's also bright.

Thanks spelling checker but you know what I mean mate.

 

[chopper6]

I listened to his interview. Actually thought he came across well.

There’s nothing wrong with a bit of honesty, and to be fair he’s right about the crowd not giving managers much time.

But I think the reason he actually said that was in relation to having an experienced manager that can deal with type of pressure. He said either just before or after that point that perhaps younger managers (Silva) couldn’t cope with same pressure.
