 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the Everton News Daily. Carlo Ancelotti has spoken to the press this morning in his first press conference since becoming Everton manager at the weekend. He was very calm and assured during the press conference. He spoke about the ambitions of Everton Football Club and how Everton persuaded them to take up the job. There was a couple of testing questions, shall we say, by a BBC journalist. I don't give it a little bit disrespectful of questions but, you know, Ancelotti answered them with confidence and, you know, basically the BBC reporter was saying that Everton there was no way he could finish in the top six during his tenure at the club and Ancelotti said, well, nothing's impossible and not only am I aiming for the top six, but aiming to take Everton top of the league because that has to be the aim. And he's right. You have got to aim that high. There's no point saying hopefully we can get into the top six. You've got to try to win the league. That's what your aim is. You might fall short, but at least you're going for it. There's no point trying to play everything down because this is a fella that's won leagues in lots of countries. It's a fella who wants the very best. So why should he come here and settle? And that was the kind of the point he made to that journalist. Very, very upbeat. Talked about ambition. Talked about the stadium. He has confirmed today that Duncan Ferguson will be one of his assistant managers along with his son David Ancelotti. Francesco Marey will be the fitness coach. He had him at Real Madrid and Alan Kelly will remain as the goalkeeping coach until the end of the season. And then whether or not Ancelotti looks at that position again at the end of the season will have to wait and see. He did go from the press conference to Finch Farm. He took training today, though this afternoon rather met the players. Duncan Ferguson had given the players the day off, but Carlo Ancelotti called them in for training today. He also in the press conference spoke about building the club up and spoke about the club's ambitions to get into Europe, Europa League and then the Champions League. Said it would take time. Said he would sit down with Marcel Brands and go through the transfer target and what the squad needs, but he said at the moment we've got three games coming up and Burnley is all his focus was on later this week. He didn't give any update on players, probably because he didn't know anything. So very, very interesting. One of the other things he did speak about was Latan Ibrahimovic. He was asked about him. Said he's his friend. Said he'll give him a call and see if he wants to come to Liverpool to which there was a hush in the room, but he then kind of played it down and said, you know, maybe not as a player, but there was a twinkle in his eyes where you never know. Latan is still being very strongly linked with the move to Godderson Park, so probably never say never really, but there you go. So great to see Ancelotti today. Great that he's the new Everton manager and the club now can move forward with a well-class manager. On to other things. Another massive bit of Everton news today was Everton have submitted their planning application for the Bramley Mordoch 52,000 seater stadium. New images without today that have been altered and updated as well as a new CGI flyby. You can see that on this YouTube channel. Images, you know, the car park has been moved from its original position to now in front of the stadium. You can see better HD quality images of things like the tram tracks in the fan park and the concourses inside the stadium as well. Just looks that much sharper. But it's great news on a big day that the planning permission has gone in. It normally takes around 16 weeks for planning permission, but obviously this is such a big application that we'll have to wait and see. But the club have done everything they can. They've got it in now and it's a case of wait now until planning permission is given. And when we get planning permission, it'll be a fantastic bit of news in 2020, won't it? Everton today linked unsurprisingly really to Culler Barley at Napoli. A lot of Italian journalists saying that Culler Barley has made it known he'd like to join Anciolotti. I didn't agree with them leaving Napoli, whether that's just speculating it probably is. But you know at least he's in that conversation and now involves Everton. And we've also been linked to 25-year-old midfield player Zeilinski who also plays for Napoli. He's a very good player as well. Both of those moves would be probably the summer if they were to happen. And it is a big if they were to happen, but that's what is going around today. And finally Leon, we're linked with a move for Leucadine. French press saying that he was interested until he found out that Anciolotti was the new manager and now that is dead in the water because he wants to play under Anciolotti. Read into that what you will. Leucadine always seems very very happy at Everton. But obviously the sign of Anciolotti will make the players even happier I guess. So there you go, nothing left to say other than give the video a thumbs up. Make sure you subscribe, join us on Patreon. Have a fantastic Christmas. See you later.
