I grew up in mid Cheshire in the 80's. Back then, the first question any primary school boy would ask you was "red or blue?". It wouldn't occur to anyone that you supported any other team...
We weren't even in Liverpool (although lots of people in the area originated there) and the question was "red or blue".
Nowadays, I doubt that "blue" has the same meaning that distance from the city anymore.
When you say you're from Liverpool, almost everyone asks if you're a Red or Blue. Still.
I would have preferred Ancelotti at the time myself. I wouldn't swap Klopp now for any other manager in world football, but that doesn't alter my view that preferring Ancelotti's experience and stature in the game was a perfectly reasonable approach given the fraying chaos of Rodgers' last period in charge.
So guardian posting fake news on behalf of the bitters?
He’s the new manager apparently
That is mental.
a) really shocked he went there.
b) really think he's a great manager but a terrible choice for them - big Dunc got the fans reinvigorated, the players playing hard etc. He was the kind of manager this team needs - as the skill they had, but they needed to work like it mattered. They'll struggle under him imo.

I don't get why he's gone there.
Why the fuck would you want to go there, with that lot, & that amount of unrealistic expectation, at his age?
Fuck that shit.

Either his wife is really annoying or he did it for a shitload of money.
Which is why he'll fail.

If you only have 46 mill pounds left in your saving account what to do??
The weather in Vancouver can be a bit harsh this time of year.
They want Ancelotti cause he’s won trophies both domestically and in Europe. But wheter or not he’s a good fit for them hasnt been mentioned anywhere. Sounds like this will be a bad and expencive move.
Appaz the Bayern players used to organize their own training sessions after Ancelotti had finished his, cause they just werent doing anything in them..

I heard about that, too.
This is why he was never going to be a fit for Liverpool after Rodgers was sacked (or ever at all.) He's too laid back and certainly does not across a not a rebuilding-type manager; rather he seems as one who goes in to add minor tweaks and minor changes to an already established side.
Au contraire. That's a new manager bounce and there's no evidence Big Dunc has the tactical nouse to organise that squad. You just know Ancellotti will do exactly that and it's not a bad squad.
Marcel Brands hasn't really delivered either?
Jonas Lossl
Andre Gomes
Fabian Delph
Jean-Philippe Gbamin
Moise Kean
Alex Iwobi
Richarlison (or should he be considered Silva's signing)
Lucas Digne
Yerry Mina
Bernard

I thought Andre Gomes was good before he got injured. The rest are average and rather expensive for what they can deliver.
Richarlison average? I'd sign him today if possible.
[article]Everton are yet to offer Ancelotti a contract but could appoint him manager this week. A club who have often seemed to possess more ambition than realism in Farhad Moshiri’s reign may land an unlikely target.
Everton’s long and storied history has produced 15 major trophies. So has Ancelotti’s managerial career. If Ronald Koeman thought he was bigger than Everton then Ancelotti, albeit a rather less egotistical man, could be forgiven for harbouring the same feelings.
He is without doubt an all-time great. Whether, to refer back to Ferguson’s assertions, he still qualifies as one of the best in the world is a moot point. His spells at Bayern Munich and Napoli ended unceremoniously. They were Ancelotti’s first mid-season sackings and, if he was not a failure at either club, his star has waned a little.
Perhaps the A-list jobs are going to others now. He talked to Liverpool four years ago, but they opted for Jurgen Klopp instead. He was not even Everton’s first choice, but Vitor Pereira said no.
Liverpool is a relevant precedent. Ancelotti can be the amiable conciliator, the skilled man-manager who is comfortable in the company of the playing greats and can ease them to glory.
The task at Everton now, like Liverpool in 2015, is bigger and broader: to revive and reinvent, to bring drive and dynamism. Maybe that is why Arsenal, another whose malaise makes it a long-term project, pursue the younger Mikel Arteta instead. Ancelotti is 60 and has not lasted more than two years anywhere since his eight-season spell at AC Milan ended a decade ago.
Since he shed his status as a disciple of Arrigo Sacchi, so devoted to 4-4-2 he discarded Gianfranco Zola and turned down the chance to sign Roberto Baggio, he has had few pretensions to being a footballing ideologue. But his pragmatism has often entailed changing little.
That is not in the job spec at Everton, given the extent to which they lost their way this season under Marco Silva. An unbalanced squad will be one challenge, combatting a host of injuries another.
The greatest, though, is that the context has changed. Ancelotti has 21 top-six finishes in as many attempts as a manager. Even before the Silva slide, Everton were outsiders for the top six; this will be the first time Ancelotti is given a club outside the elite and is charged with smashing their glass ceiling.
The job at Goodison Park is for a transformative manager; the triple Champions League winner has to alter much simply to reach the Champions League.
But for Moshiri, the owner who can be blinded by stardust and who called England’s north-west “the Hollywood of football” when he appointed Koeman, appointing Ancelotti would be a coup that would give him his own Oscar-winning director at the helm of the picture.[/article]
Yes, he's actually a perfect Everton player, and he's one that it will always be unpleasant to face. He's skilful, cheaty, has an eye for goal and has a very nasty attitude. Like Tim Cahill for a new era.
