No matter what the style of football you cant argue with that record. Definately understand the want for a long term manager though, completely agree, but Ancelotti is one id go back on my ideals for.I can honestly say I would not over our other two candidates. I certainly wouldn't be disappointed with the hire, but I don't advocate him over the other two.
I agree a great signing and god knows why nobody else signed him but I am talking stranger things, Jurgen was an absolute megastar at a world cup, with immense pedigree - different level
AVB:avblol:Madrid would be mental to dump Carlo, who on earth would they get to replace him do people think?

Why not????
Barca would not take a manager sacked by Real, Bayern will keep Pep.. Man Utd kave just signed Van Gaal, paedo is about to sign a new deal, Mourinho will stay at Chelsea, Atletico aint changing managers, Man City are sorted..
He's running out of huge clubs.. will have to take a Club from the next level..

Indeed, but then who do suspect Madrid replace him with? You know their fans, not sure they'd even tolerate a Wenger hire.
Real would probably offer Simeone £1m a week to join them.
There has been alot of movement on the managerial front recently and Ancelotti is running out of options..
They might still win the CL final but if they don't they would surely get shot.. a team costing £368m losing the league and CL to their rivals who cost a mere £30m is not toreable or acceptable to a club like that.
Del Bosque won two La Ligas and 2 CL finals in 4 years yet they still booted him and replaced him with Carlos Queiroz FFS...Madrid would be mental to dump Carlo, who on earth would they get to replace him do people think?
Is he though?If Ancelotti were available you take him. Arguably the best manager in world football. Not saying it's pheasable though. Id love for us to have a manager long term as much as any other fan but realistically im doubtful we can achieve that under Levy.
I don't think anyone's arguing the unparalleled fickleness of Madrid, but the questions are given the other big-name managerial availability lack (I think Simeone would take less pay to stay at Atletico honestly), whether Ancelotti would even come to is, and finally whether we should take him or not.
That goes without saying, we would DEFINITELY take him and rightly so. It's a no brainer.
OK his side should've won the league and the CL but the Atletico story is a fairytale and probably never seen again..their success has been superb but also a freak.
Ancelotti is a great manager and one that would kick our prima donnas into shape..
He is everything our club needs..
PSG would probably throw millions his way but the French league is not the challenge that the Premier league is.
