New Everton Manager

[NorthernBlue]

Third season we had the run of opening fixtures from hell and did ok. Then the day we were to face United at home and HK died and we fell apart that day. The PL was tough from that point, but we did very well in the cups.

I always felt that when he was sacked we should went for Pellegrini. It would have been a continuation of a style of playing that was already implemented. Instead the idiots went for Koeman and here we are now. A complete shambles with no direction.

That Athletic piece: typical hackery from ex Echo chimps sent out to blackguard a manager that the club want to vent against.

I have no regard for Ancelotti concerning this walking out - and I wanted him gone at the end of the season anyway - but these hacks really take the biscuit. They also want to keep in with the players at the club....you know, the ones that couldn't be arsed turning up for the past few months, so they leave in a juicy arse covering line for them about Ancelotti saying "just play".

If I was Ancelotti after 18 months with them I'd have been telling them to "just eff off".

Some getting reeled in by this is unreal.

Obviously I have no idea whether it's true or not, but it fits both with how we played under him in many games, and with what others have said about his management style. It's not really a huge leap of faith to believe it.

Kenwright lol How is this man still dealing with board matters at this club. Criminal.

He is such a moron in all football dealings

It's cat nip.

as much as it causes pandemonium and mass amounts of bullshit chatted in the forum I do like that we don’t leak things nowadays and just go about our business.

I firmly believe that everything we’ve heard is total guesswork and general making stuff up from hack journalists so far and nothing will start coming out until things get serious.

I think the home performances were just as much to do with the amount of times i saw the line ups last season and we had four central midfielders thrown across the middle and i went wtf is that. I then looked on the bench and sighed. Nothing there.
Going round the houses now with the whole ancelotti thing. But hey. Lets see if this group who have largely now seen off 4 managers suddenly turn up next year.
Dont be holding your breath.

Does anybody else think that our club should have made a statement regarding this mess. I would at least have expected our Director of football to have communicated to his fans in some capacity. I just feel like this typifies how the club is run and why we just go round in circles.

 

[Vax]

I've read that they are considering Pirlo.
Why?

While Ancelotti and Guardiola stand as two of the most successful managers in world football, Thiago insists there are both differences and similarities between the two men.

'Both as players and coaches they won everything. They have the peace of mind of those who know what the players think because they have been there,' Thiago told El Pais in an interview prior to Bayern Munich's looming clash with Real Madrid.

'But they have a different character. They are great coaches with totally different ways of watching football.

'With Ancelotti there is freedom. More than strategy or tactics, it's the freedom and confidence that a coach can give you,' he added.

While Thiago was schooled at the La Masia academy of Barcelona and is synonymous with the well-drilled, disciplined and regimented football of the set-up, he admits that the freedom under Ancelotti is giving him a new lease of life.

'He (Ancelotti) gives you freedom so that you can hold yourself accountable.

None of that addresses that there are reasons to believe the 'just play' comment, and that rather than being 'reeled in' people are just thinking yeah that sounds plausible. Also this group really hasn't seen off 4 managers, I don't know why people always do this. 11 of the match day squad for the 5-0 thumping by City were brought in by Brands, and 1 more was a kid that's never played before. The idea that we've still got the same squad that 'downed tools' on Martinez is just absolutely bonkers, there's only one of them left!

What can he say that we dont already know?
Ancelotti has legged it and we are searching for his replacement.
It will be at least a couple of weeks before we get a new manager and only then will he issue a statement

 

[AmericasToffee]

There is zero reason for any kind of statement from the club right now. I would actually make fun of anything they put out in the middle of a search.

 

[mahermi1]

My gripe with RM was that he rushed players back too quickly. He ended McCarthy's career for sure.

That was Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane two absolute Neanderthals, helped ruin Colemans as well.

Im sure the club could still speak to the fans regardless, silence just feeds nonesense rumours. Why cant they slam Carlo in public for walking out, seems odd we didnt fight to keep him. Why havent we taken Real to court for poaching. We just act so weak its embarrasing.
