Everton - The comedy

[Kid Chameleon]

I don't think he wants the manager gig, it's just not him. As long as he's involved in the coaching at Finch Farm, he'll be happy imo.

I feel a bit disappointed that he's not going to be in the job anymore. As I said before, he's one of the last players I would have thought to be management or coaching material but he's made his mark in a very short space of time and I really wanted to see what he could do with Everton.

I hope he does have a proper crack at management one day. It would be a shame to see his potential go to waste.

Fucking hell, Ancelotti going to us and Arteta going to Woolwich, it's like a parallel universe.

How do you think Arteta would have done with you? And how do you think he might do at the Goons?

 

[FightLikeAGirl]

I think he would have been a huge gamble and the goons can probably afford to risk him, but we can't because we're really struggling right now. I'd rather have someone proven/experienced, and not someone like Silva who, as much as I liked the guy, has failed in the UK. I know our fans love Arteta but he's never actually managed a club, and management is a different ball game, no pun intended, to being a coach. Duncan Ferguson seems to be handling it OK, so Arteta might as well. Arsehole are going to be tough though.

So you guys are getting Ancelotti and possibly Zlatan in January.

How does it feel to be a FM save?

 

[FightLikeAGirl]

Zlatan's not coming to us, but tbh he's old and he'd probably want ridiculous wages anyway.

I would rather give Calvert-Lewin as much game time as possible and see him improving, he is the future.

Had a feeling he would be announced today, before the game.

Come on you Toffees!
Don't let us down, at least 5 against these cunts.

 

[Alli-Luya]

Pretty big appiontment that. Good luck to the toffees.

Interesting appointment but I’m not convinced this will work out well for Everton.

Ancelotti will improve them but he has no track record of building teams, only tweaking very good squads into winners. It’s such a competitive league and they are way off being contenders even for top 4.

Also used to listen to a European football podcast a year or two ago where Ancelotti was accused by a german journalist of having very little input into training at Bayern and limited tactics.

interesting to see how this plays out...

 

[Larry David]

One of the greatest managers of all time and the man I wanted for us

he’ll have them fighting for trophies within a season. Very impressive appointment for them

absolutely stunned the goons didn’t throw everything at him

I would be surprised if he will finish anywhere near the top four next season, 7th/8th seems more likely.

Is it not inconceivable they might’ve approached him and been pushed back?

Ancelotti doesn’t really have anything to prove in football - he’s won everything. Given that, what could he achieve at Woolwich that he couldn’t achieve at Everton and with less fan pressure?

Ancelotti appointed as Everton manager

Everton appoint three-time Champions League-winning coach Carlo Ancelotti as their manager on a four-and-a-half-year contract.

Ancelotti just laughing all the way to the bank.

Given the resources available to him at the clubs he has managed, he’s massively underperformed..........

Winning the European cup 3 times is something special, even if you manage one of the best teams. Guardiola hasn’t done it since Barcelona

He must be wondering what he has done after that.

He did have one of the best squads football has ever seen though, in AC Milan. Although, from what I can remember, apart from the chavs, he's never been a big spender at the clubs he's been.
