[Football] Ancelotti to Madrid (alternative clickbait title: Potter to Everton?)

[Acker79]

Seems lots of unsubstantiated reports on Twitter that Carlo Ancelotti is about to be announced as the replacement for Zidane as manager of Real Madrid. Marca is reporting it as linked, while betfair have suspended betting because they believe an announcement is imminent.

Of course this will likely lead to speculation, as any management vacancy will, that Everton will be looking at Potter, hence the alternative title.

Quite likely to happen I think. Perez likes to hire, fire and rehire managers.

And yes obviously there will be talk about GP to Everton, but it wont happen.

 

[zefarelly]

Everton isn't much of a step up is it really. . .

Is this the job Smug Eddie has been holding out for?

Why on earth would Everton look towards Potter as their new manager, he has hardly proved himself at Brighton . . . yet.

Maybe they disagree.

Anyway, its not happening.

Agreed, he’s shit. No progress in two seasons, looks like we’re stuck with the loser FFS

It’s a rumour just now, but on grandoldteam he’s gone from a revered figure to “get lost and take Gomes” in the space of an hour.

I don't think it's enough of a step up that it'll turn his head at this point if I'm honest. Spurs would be a different kettle of fish, but big a club as Everton undoubtedly are they aren't one of the ESL 6.

Why would that be the case, our manager is clearly a dunce.

Everton should check in with some of the experts here first.

Woah woah woah...woah.

Are you saying there's a football fan forum full of fickle individuals?

Out of interest what does GP have to do to prove himself to you? Keeping us up, changing the playing style, playing youngsters, reducing the squad age, club records points total not enough?

I don't wish to steal anyone else's thunder but I would suggest for a team like Everton to be after him he'd need to be pushing mid-table to properly turn their heads. Maybe 12 months from now.

Yeah they wouldn’t want to repeat the error of appointing Martinez after he got the job having overseen a Wigan relegation....

I must have missed us winning the FA Cup this season. I'd have expected a thread.

Me too, I also missed us getting relegated, that would have been a 100 page thread

I guess you are one of those weirdos that would have accepted winning the FA Cup and going down the same season?

Their fans know who they want at least...

If only they knew how impossible it is, but other clubs fans seems to know little about both Potter & Brighton. Even if their board would be interested, its out of their reach.

Given several members of the Potter In crowd have been coming for me all season because I happened to be of the opinion results mattered more than style of football I highly doubt it somehow.

True, but we ended up getting great football and enough results to keep us up. At least one of us is happy

What do we need to do to get you on board next season? Nothing less than top 10?
