Also means that this lad from China didn't withdraw interest. Strange one from Everton, seems like a pretty pointless statement, wonder why they chose to make it.

Bill Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Whoever comes in will have to go on a winning streak of about 6 wins, or we on here will be screaming that we should have given it to Duncan. We are Everton and that's what we do. StevO, Bailey and markjazzbassist 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Apparently Ancelotti is signing and should be in charge for the Arsenal game, he is still in Italy tying up the lose ends on his Napoli contract, this according to jounos in England and Italy. It’s starting to sound more like we will be getting him as the new manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 If we get Ancellotti. My immediate thoughts are that he will raise the profile of the club in terms of transfers and also demand the respect of players. His cv demands respect, he's not a divisive character and he has worked with some of the very best in the game. Example, Jordan pickford decides to question the manager when criticised for not coming out for a ball? Yeah well this bloke managed Buffon, Cassillas, Cech.... shut up and listen. If we go for a player that is targetted by top 4, then we become a viable option due to the fact that we have attracted an elite manager who believes in the project. The more I think about it the more i want it. Yes he maybe less driven nowadays maybe, but this is a new type of challenge for him. Not targetted with winning a trophybas such but getting us to a place where we can arguably challenge for one. Palfy and Newty82 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Guillem Balague has put on Twitter. He wanted a break until the summer but a four year deal and being paid one of the top three managers in the world with the promise of building a top team. Also one website claims he had a meeting with Usmanov who convinced him to sign on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elston Gunnn Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 https://www.espn.com/soccer/everton/story/4015072/carlo-ancelotti-wants-transfer-assurances-before-agreeing-everton-deal-sources This article says a key factor for Ancelotti is assurances about monies for “upcoming transfer windows.” That surely means January and then summer. If he’s asking whether Moshiri and Kenwright are really committed to “building a winning project,” that must mean he thinks very few of our current squad can get us to top 4-6. Richarlison, Digne? Gomes??? Anyone else? Over the next two seasons, would Everton field a totally different squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moshiri big bucks will be over the moon, he gets a top manager and big name which will satisfy his ego. Brands should be happy to have such a top manager, now he will need to get down to business getting rid of the deadwood even more so now and getting in some top players. to bank roll it all maybe a new sponsorship to be announced USM to replace sportpesa?

Many Arsenal fans wanted Kroenke out and Usmsnov in before Alisher sold up (ie Stan was never gunna give up power). Arsenal fans love a melt down surrounding what ifs.
