Re: Ancellotti
If the 20 best managers in the world based on trophies, win percentages and overall reputation were all managing in the premierleague defiantly 3 and probably 10 will be shit and need to be sacked in the eyes of fans.

I order for someone to win, someone has to lose.

The league is ruthless and probably to its detriment and a clubs bank balance.

Re: Ancellotti
Brooking was behind chocolates appointment.
Pellegrini must be only after the dough to work for those 3 fuckers.

Ancelloti will be just as clueless if not given limitless funds by moshiri.. Which I reckon he will get.

Pellegrini was a fuckin desperate appointment with nothing to back it up..

Fuckin cunts

Re: Ancellotti
I said we should have bought Simeone years ago , biggest problem is he speaks no English.

AND YES , he’s the highest paid manager in the world now.

Re: Ancellotti
Agree with all the comments about Simeone But The board keeps saying they want to push on to next level
.
They should either back Pellegrini (get him the right players, give him more time) or find a Hungry manager that wants to prove himself.

We have done it before. Who is it that found Pardew? (I’d never heard of him before he joined West Ham) The first season back in the Premier League Pardew is the type of manager we need (Admittedly after that season he thought he had made it. And was to busy loving himself to actually manage the team. Got invited to an event the second season and was introduced to him and did all I can to stop laughing at his Bottle Green Velvet Suit)

I can’t believe Moyes is back in the frame that is hardly moving to next level

Re: Ancellotti
Everton have clearly gone balls out to get Ancellotti. But if you think about it, they had to, more than us or anyone else did.

They spunked a huge amount of cash and promised a return to the big time. The net result of which has been a dogfight against relegation and preparing to watch while their nearest rivals parade the Premier League trophy around the City in 5 months time.

I bet his contract will be massive. And that's why he's gone there.

Re: Ancellotti

I think they’re suffering from a ridiculous turnover of managers combined with spunking the money they got for lukaku on dross

I’m sure Ancelotti will steady the ship and his presence there will certainly attract some big names, but they are much like us in the sense that there is lots of rebuilding work to do throughout the squad and you can’t do that overnight

And I hope they don’t because I fucking hate Everton!!

Re: Ancellotti
sleeping giant he's taking over, and their owner has seemed to be willing to back the manager with signings, though I'm not sure how much money is left without selling a few first. I wouldn't be surprised to see clement back with him up there. they've been missing a decent goalscorer for quite a while (since lukaku) so maybe that'd be his first signing

Re: Ancellotti
666- make you right about the type of manager we should target. But Simeone ? If he wants to succeed in the Premier League as you say do you honestly think the Dildo Twins would give him the platform to achieve that success.?

More likely his reputation would get shattered mate.

Re: Ancellotti
Most of the Top Managers I feel have no desire to start with a project and mould them into a top team As for Ancelotti he is a good man manager and get’s the best out of top players but can’t remember him actually going to any club and actually rebuilding it

I feel we should not be looking for that top manager to come and rescue us we should get a Hungry manager who wants to show everyone he can compete with the best.

Top of my list would be Diego Simone, Class Manager may want to prove he can do it in the Premier League.

Re: Ancellotti
Agreed, actually think working with Pep will conspire against him, he just hasn’t got the players to implement that style of play... remind you of anyone else?

Re: Ancellotti
Is anyone on here absolutely gobsmacked that arteta has managed to get a 3 and half year deal at arsenal without ever managing a team?

Is that not the weirdest appointment in football history? Is this not on par with Theo Walcott being picked do England at 17 without even starting for arsenal?

Management at the top level isn’t just about tactics. It’s about dealing with multi millionaires who know the club needs them more than it does it’s boss. It’s really about people management.

I don’t give a fuck how great your tactics are, it’s getting the players to do them that’s the hard part. That’s why you see Jose on the touch line screaming and wondering why player x hasn’t tracked back even though they’ve done it a million times in training.

When arteta is “inspiring” the Man City team it’s Peps “balls” he’s using to get that to work. It’s pep shouting at them for hours, fucking with their heads, whatever it takes, that makes city work. Not just some tactics.

That’s why Gary Neville didn’t cut it at Valencia. It’s all very well working out tactics but if no one wants to run for you, so what?

Arsenal players like Ozil have gone through 3 managers already and still hadn’t done anything they’ve asked of him. Why should he listen to arteta? Emery dropped Him and found that no owner likes to see he’s paying 350k a week for someone that isn’t playing.

Football is a mess. And the only way out of a mess is getting the right personality to galvanise a team. I hope we can find one, but I’d be amazed if arteta works out. Absolutely amazed.

Re: Ancellotti
Eddie Howe a sham?
First year at Bournemouth , started the season -17 points but avoided relegation and dropping out of the football league.
Next season promoted .
Went to Burnley where it didn’t work out for various reasons and returned to Bournemouth.
2 promotions and has kept them in the premier ever since, yeah he’s a sham alright....

Re: Ancellotti

Agreed - I actually think there’s a breed of manager who excel in getting the extra 10-15% out of already brilliant players but who wouldn’t be able to do anything to galvanise a mediocre team. Guardiola is an example of that - he gets his teams playing some amazing stuff and certainly improves the players he works with, but I doubt he’d be able to do much with our lot. He’s only ever managed aides who were already the best when he got them, or thereabouts. There’s even a thing on YouTube where non league teams entered a competition to win training sessions with him, and the side that was chosen was a team who were runaway leaders in their league and did the double the season before!

Ancelotti I think falls into that camp too. I’d say the only elder statesman manager who has a good track record with big clubs smaller clubs and international teams is hiddink. The only manager I see who would be a success anywhere is probably Klopp - yes they have some fantastic talent at Liverpool but his influence is how they have become so slick, and he’s won with underdogs before
