A thread dedicated to our utterly hopeless, woefully predictable PR and Comms department at Everton.
Today (1 June) Carlo Ancelotti left for Real Madrid. The club have clearly been caught on the hop by this, it's panic stations, DEFCON 1, and there will be the usual effort to save face.
There's never anything particular innovative or agile about the media team, so expect them to dust down the old playbook this week. This will include:

Today (1 June) Carlo Ancelotti left for Real Madrid. The club have clearly been caught on the hop by this, it's panic stations, DEFCON 1, and there will be the usual effort to save face.
There's never anything particular innovative or agile about the media team, so expect them to dust down the old playbook this week. This will include:
- Friendly journalists throwing digs at Ancelotti. He'll be portrayed as duplicitous, mercenary, and an enemy of the fans.
- Lots (and lots) of these friendly faces will be on the TV, radio and national press in the next few days. Expect to hear a lot about our home record.
- Obviously there will be a stadium update in the next fortnight.
- Lots of names will be tested to see how they "land". I am deeply suspicious of the Graham Potter chat emerging from low-count sources.
- "Fan" led content - those who have had a kickabout on the Goodison turf in an offseason pre-COVID in a literal and figurative sense - will be getting well stuck into Ancelotti.
What you won't hear:
- Considered journalist asks "When Zidane resigned, didn't Brands et al. give this some thought as a possible outcome?"
- Friendly journalist ponders "Surely Everton have a list of managers they'd have gone down if Ancelotti had said no 18 months ago? The #2 must be the favourite, as that suggests a strategy"
- Local journalist questions "how have Coleman, Gylfi, Davies, DCL, Keane, Holgate all outlasted yet another Everton manager? Maybe this spine () of the squad is the problem?"
