i listen to other peoples opinions but has talksport got something against everton yeah carlo is a good appointment and yeah he needs time but honestly 99.9% these last two three days on that station is he will struggle or he shoudnt joined us cause we are not in the elite bracket least we showed some ambition just wondered if was david moyes or victor perera got appointed wonder what they would say then just feels ex players and news journos recently having lil dig at us c. o. y. b.

21 Dec 2019 20:28:26
Dead right Andy. Alan Brazil called us idiots and "tubes"for not wanting Moyes back. Allardyce constantly has a go at us (sour grapes) and Danny Murphy and Dareen Gough look to have a pop. Not happy we have the cheek to finally show some real ambition.

21 Dec 2019 20:57:15
We treated Alardyce badly A. He delivered what he was hired for. B. We have made huge mistakes. C. Ancelloti is a huge appointment, his contract is 4 1/ 2 years, does he buy in? Who cares! The guy is a pro and he delivers.

21 Dec 2019 21:53:32
How did we treat him badly? He was brought in to do a job. He did it, goodbye and take a nice little £6 million with you.

22 Dec 2019 00:09:37
Don’t forget big Sams signings, don’t hear him mention those do you. Guys a conman and Everton should never have gotten involved with him.

22 Dec 2019 00:12:54
DFS, we never treated SA as badly as he treated us mate. I gave up my season ticket due to the dire dross he served up, it was a bad time to be a blue. We were never going to get relegated in November so it was a knee-jerk appointment and he sucked the life out of the team and the fans. The man is a joke full stop.
Chalk and cheese when you compare him to CA. Great appointment no matter what anyone says mate.

22 Dec 2019 12:19:49
No it’s because we didn’t appoint one of there friends from talk sport, from the moment Moshiri bought the club, media and pundits have had a dig at us, Ancelotti probably sees this as his last major job ok it might not work out but if over next 4 years he can lead us into new stadium with a trophy in cabinet and back among the elite then his legacy will be complete, Merson saying it’s all about the wages is wrong, this man is one of the best managers there has been and success comes from the person passion and drive not how much he’s getting paid.

21 Dec 2019 17:16:24
According to reports Tosun was fuming at being taken off, i don't think he will wear the Blue shirt again no where near good enough for us CA willsend him on his way, and hopefully a few more as well.

21 Dec 2019 17:52:46
Don’t get how he can be fuming when he did absolutely nothing. Guys not good enough, that’s the reality.

21 Dec 2019 18:29:06
Any striker would be fuming playing in front of load of rubbish.

21 Dec 2019 18:29:06
We sit near the dugout, no he wasnt happy at all, stormed off straight down the tunnel, he was poor, but never got much service, but the whole team were pretty poor.

21 Dec 2019 18:48:23
He probably thought that there were 9 other outfield players playing a lot worse than himself and he would be right!

21 Dec 2019 19:43:40
You're becoming deliberately obtuse on this site Uran. If you truly believe that Tosun was our best player today then you know absolutely nothing about football. He was poor since the moment he came on, posed zero threat to Arsenal at all and, in my opinion his workrate was severely lacking. He didn't show any desire at all to try and make an impression infront of the new boss today.

21 Dec 2019 20:49:37
As I said he does not deserve to wear the Blue Jersey.

21 Dec 2019 21:42:01
No he doesn't. The sad thing is he isn't the only one. I'm looking forward to having gbamin back and hopefully a new CB.

21 Dec 2019 22:23:47
Work rate exactly no closing down at all. DCL even ran past him to challenge once. All well and good having off day, it happens, but when you do the minimum is effort. Main thing to come out of last two weeks is that effort must be given or your off which has been lacking for several years. Some are in need of a good boot up the posteria!

21 Dec 2019 22:43:32
Probably why there are rumours flying about that he will he sold for a big loss. 🤷🏻‍♂️.

21 Dec 2019 23:30:42
Worcester there wasn’t one good outfield player all ten could of been substituted Tosun was different to the rest just not up to the required standard, chill out.

21 Dec 2019 23:35:10
It’s wrong just to punt the finger At Tosun.

22 Dec 2019 08:45:17
What game were watching Iran his touch was/ is atrocious. I don't believe he completed a pass. If you really think there were 9 worse you should go to specksavers.

Yes the team was poor but he was the worst from the moment he came onto the pitch.

21 Dec 2019 14:31:21
I'm glad we have carlo he's a proven winner.
But I love Big dunc an his passion and love for our club and he must stay at the club and take charge when carlo retires.

21 Dec 2019 14:55:08
DF, atm is a great caretaker whether he could do a long term job in the PL atm?

21 Dec 2019 15:08:42
He's got four years to learn one of the best in the business in carlo that will put him in very good sted to take the rains in the future.

21 Dec 2019 15:11:20
Any decent manager gets rid of all the staff and brings his in, we all have D F passion, but good clean out for me.

21 Dec 2019 15:17:21
Shakey, honest I would like to think/ hope in 4 yrs or less the creme de la creme of managers will be fighting each other to become the new boss of the current PL CL title holders .

21 Dec 2019 15:47:50
All credit to Ferguson, the team got five points from three games against three of the top six teams. If we had gotten five points from every three games this season we would have 30 points and sit forth. The one big thing we have done wrong this season is not firing Silva sooner.

21 Dec 2019 16:04:07
Yes Mike, this team is hardly the best in the world, however DF somehow got their adrenalin going and gained precious points for us.
Silva thankfully is gone, so let's feel more optimistic as this new chapter unfolds mate.

21 Dec 2019 21:24:58
thanks Duncan for your passion and love who knows the future but hope he is involved in a big way.

21 Dec 2019 09:12:35
I read this morning that Sky pundit Merson is spouting his usual rubbish saying Everton are in Cloud Cuckoo land if they think he is in this new job as manager other than for financial rewards.

They can think again, I just don't get this guy and many of the others why do they continue to belittle Everton at every opportunity they get, are they worried we might actually get to challenge the top teams at last, we gave Man U and Chelsea good games but no credit to us those teams of theirs were having off days etc etc, we'll look out Sky and the rest of you We Are Coming To Get You.

{Ed047's Note - Merson is a clown mate, you should ignore the drivel spouted by the media, your a top club with a great history and I think a great future.

21 Dec 2019 09:43:46
The same Paul Merson that said Richarlison ruined the transfer window when we pain £40m for him. Hopefully he’s as right about Ancelotti as he was Richarlison.

21 Dec 2019 10:12:24
Joe, and he is so easily wound up himself re AFC, he comes across as a 'punchy boxer' repeats ''outstanding'' like a broken record 🥴.

{Ed025's Note - hes a comedy pundit 247, knows very little about football and retained for his knob head value..

21 Dec 2019 10:30:23
Ed 25. You nailed it there.

{Ed025's Note - he seems to have a problem with everton ace and has said some very disparaging things in the past, maybe thomas graveson kicked his arse in the past or something mate..

21 Dec 2019 11:02:18
I find it bizarre that other clubs are frightened by little old Everton. personally i love it when these 'persons' speak cack. and then have to back track. i do same with people. i say nothing and then let them stew in their own juices when their theories are proven as b. s. For the record i don't know anyone that takes merson seriously.

{Ed002's Note - who are these clubs you think are frightened of Everton?}

21 Dec 2019 11:15:54
Nice comment from Ed047. I am 80 in February and have been at Goodison when we have won the league and at Wembley in 1966 and 1995 when we won the cup, but it is a long time since we won anything. For whatever reason we are no longer a top club and since Moshiri purchased the majority shares we have had our high expectations repeatedly dashed, let's hope the appointment of Ancelotti will bring us the great future you suggest. I know it will take time but let's face it some of us don't have all that much time left.

{Ed025's Note - you will still be here for a long while yet mike and hopefully see us lift a trophy or 2 mate..

21 Dec 2019 11:19:38
The guy is an absolute lemon. I wouldn't be worried by anything he says.

This day and age the media is shocking. there's very little real connoisseurs of the game left in punditry these days and it's very biased towards their own clubs they've played for.

Danny Murphy is a perfect example. Every quote starts with 'when I played for Liverpool'. Its completely irrelevant who he played for and what they did.

Idiotic and stupid all of them and my words of the month.

21 Dec 2019 11:28:49
Take what Paul Merson says with a pinch of salt, he get over paid by Sky for talking rubbish, I have never valued his opinion.

{Ed025's Note - nor me mate..

21 Dec 2019 11:13:13
Sorry ed. poorly articulated whilst in a rush. my perception is that explayers and indeed a lot of fans of other clubs (i currently work on a site with 10,000 other people. most of whom are fans of the big four) spend a lot of time discussing / critiquing everton. instead of just focusing on their own clubs. This is just my experience but every week i have a lot of man u, city, lpool and chelsea fans/ colleagues who spend more time trying to take p! ss out of everton - ancelotti is the current flavour of the month. "too small a club", "hes the wrong man", "hes too old". i will say nothing, smile or tell them they don't need to worry. as i said my perception is that despite poor season and board decisions other fans/ players of other clubs seem scared that everton may actually get it right this time. I stress that's my perception/ opinion. regardless of who else agrees.

{Ed002's Note - I don't know any ex-players who will be discussing it between themselves aside from those asked questions as "pundits". Certainly the ex-players at Chelsea, who I know best ,will not be concerned about it. I have seen only a handful of posts on these pages from other fans discussing the matter, so I think other clubs, and other clubs players, will not be concerning themselves. As for your colleagues, that would be good old fashioned banter.}

21 Dec 2019 09:41:46
Ed047 It is with pride and humble gratitude I pronounce you the No1 Honorary Everton fan of the year.

{Ed047's Note - 😊 thanks blue, hopefully Ancellotti will get you back up there fighting.

21 Dec 2019 18:49:22
Of course ed002.im just shooting the she*p. i don't take it too serious. its just footy. Merry xmas mate.

20 Dec 2019 23:17:41
I asked why do the media dislike everton so much? I've just read Darren lewis saying ferguson should be given the job ahead of ancelotti then I read lawrenson saying Ancelotti he's not the right man for us. plus your other no Mark's on talk rubbish saying the same thing . what is it with these people?

Reccuring theme here everyone who's being negative towards us is a red. how dare everton appoint the most successful manager in europe that's available. What are they scared off?

21 Dec 2019 03:30:55
To be fair Jimmy, I think the question marks around Ancelotti’s suitability for Everton are justified when you take into account his track record of managing clubs. Generally he manages elite level sides, he stays for one or two years before moving on and he is getting older. I really hope it works out for us but I can see why there are questions around him. It’s not the obvious appointment.

21 Dec 2019 08:43:37
Its utter tosh. For some idiotic, stupid reason people think that top level managers can only manage top teams and rubbish managers manage rubbish teams.

Utter garbage. Great managers make great teams, crap managers make crap teams. Everton have been testament to that for the past 25 years. It's time we start realising that we will only challenge the big boys by having quality from top to bottom.

21 Dec 2019 15:57:20
And the award for most common sense post of the year goes to BlueJohn. Hit the nail right on the head with that one mate.
