 Welcome to Toffy TV. It's a manager update. This might be our last, maybe our last manager update before something is confirmed. Talk about the manager who is the manager. That's what I'm saying. This might be our last, like, speculation. Oh, okay. Kind of... I mean, let's be honest, it's down to one now, isn't it? I mean... For all we know, it was always down to one because everyone put a statement out last night basically saying, no one has dropped out the race and we haven't offered it to anyone. So that basically suggests that people like... Vita Perair. Perair, and people like that, and anyone else who'd been in the... They just played the owl. Oh, these want me. Well, they did something. Contract. That was sort of speculated at the time. But I think... A lot of people said, why did they put that statement out? No, they didn't have to put that statement out. But I almost took that as... We've only been after one fella. So forget all these other people. Forget anyone saying that they've rejected us or whatever. We've only ever been after one guy. But we haven't offered them the job yet. But it does seem like now, with various sources. Some in Italy, some in England. Saying that. Carlo Anceletti will be the next Everton manager. With Sky Sports going as far as saying, and I'm just saying this is Sky Sports, that he will take over for the boxing day game. And that his son will be one of the assistants. Duncan will be one of the assistants. And, you know, the rest of his team is already in place. So if that is the case, what are your thoughts? O'ch labd y Duncan will be one of the assistants. Because I think what we've seen with Duncan is his ability to motivate. There's been a whole atmosphere change at the club since he took over, I would say. Certainly from a fan perspective. I don't know what it's like. Behind the scenes, but the players have certainly seen to abort in it. Given the two performances he put in for him since he's been in charge. I think Sunday's performance against United was arguably better than the Chelsea one. Due to the amount of changes we had to make and who we had in the field. Chelsea was great in the one the game and all that, but what I mean is what he had to pick where it was, the four neighbouring. I think to get that kind of performance out of a team shows his ability tactically and motivationally. So I think it's key that he's part of this. Carlo Ancelotti's got one of the best CVs around. Three Champions League wins. He's won a league in England, he's won it in Spain, he's won it in France, he's won it in Italy. So top, or Germany rather. So top, top leagues that he's had success in, didn't win in Spain, didn't win in Germany and Italy. So big wins in countries, managed a lot of the world top clubs. Players. The only, and the players are big egos and you know, top of the game. The only kind of worry I have is that, quite clearly on his way down, Napoli was a step down from buying Everton. People will say he's a step down from Napoli, they're in the Champions League. So there's a little bit of a worry there with him being 60. But one of the things that kind of smoothed it over for me was if Duncan was with him. Because I think as far as my mind is Duncan will now be getting groomed for the manager after Ancelotti going into Bramley Mordoch. In your mind. That hasn't, yeah, no one's come out and said that, but that's how I see it. Because I think he's in that almost. He'd be laying it from another top fella. Top manager. That's kind of where I am with it in my mind. So that to me then is a better fit than just another manager coming in with all the talking stuff. I'm in a similar position, I honestly can't sit here and say I am like, oh, this is going to be the best thing ever. I honestly can't say that. And I don't know whether that is because we've got another manager and it's another thing again. And I don't want to get ahead of myself. So I'm sort of keeping myself level. I'm not saying I don't want them. I'm definitely not saying I don't want them. I'm just keeping myself level into a point where we'll see where it goes. He's a manager who's never managed from this position I don't think before. We'll see me in his, you know, since his early days. But if he's a top manager, he can turn that round really, really quickly. I think that's what the club are looking at. I think this can be turned round really, really quickly. I don't know whether that was always the objective to go and get him. Or Duncan has shown that this it can be turned around if you instill something into the players. Because obviously the abrumers were early on that we were going to go and try and look for someone until the end of the season. No, that was part of the thing. If he's a good manager, he should be able to instill that into play straight away and get a level of organisation. He's Italian. Italian football, from what I can see, is all about organisation. It's all about getting your defence. I mean, listen, Italy is the number one country in the world for defenders. Simple as that. They're defenders, treat defenders. It's an art. So, from that point of view, I'm sure you'll get that, right? It's in the second with Napoli last time. Napoli is a good side. There's been question marks in the last few years about some of the things Bayern Munich played saying about his coaching and all that kind of thing. Listen, I don't know because I wasn't there. So all we can know for is that he comes in and he's got high standards for the players, and those high standards continue. We don't want it to be a case of, well, it's evident, so it's got to be high standards. And he installs that, and the players who are at the club will be thinking, hopefully we'll be thinking, can't I have a mentality? Big name, managing some of the biggest players and biggest clubs in the world, and hopefully they respond, and hopefully, if it does happen that results, go the way we want them to go. He's been in the Premier League before with Chelsea, won the league, got sacked for coming second, I think, won the FA Cup. So knows what it's all about, and I think this is the appointment that Michelio always wanted to make, but there was never quite the person out there the right time, the right place. For him, he obviously thinks Angelotti's the right man, and he's the right time. Anything we'll have to wait and see? Yeah, I'm like you, but it's not one that I'm kind of buying all into, you know what I mean, because I think what you've said before, we've had a lot of managers recently, and everyone that doesn't work makes you more sceptical about the next one, and that's it. It's like, I can't sit here and go, oh everything's going to be perfect now because we don't know. But saying that, the caveat to that is, there's nobody out there that I look at and go, who we could get and go, he will turn us round, no problem. But with Duncan there as well, I think it might be a good fit. Hopefully, yeah. So after two of these allowed to coach, we've proven himself in the last couple of games, I think Angelotti will. This has been on the cards for a few weeks this, it's been muted three weeks ago, and he's still managing Napoli. So if that's the case, then he will have had his eye on everything, and he will have seen probably the impact Duncan Ferguson's had in the last couple of games. Well, he talked Ray Wilkins, he got Ray Wilkins in the HLC, and obviously he's had Paul Clements with him at different places as well. So it's not a case of it, a closed shop, and he just has his people around him. He obviously respects the idea of having people who understand the football club around them and uses them as you would, as you should do. I think we've mentioned this loads of times, that's where I think Michael Silver, we think fell down because he did have a closed shop that maybe pushed Duncan to a side, where he should have really been helping him. I mean listen, the one I wanted was Benitez when we faced, and I wasn't really looking at Carlo Ancelotti probably because he was in the job. And really if you think about it, Carlo Ancelotti's track record in terms of winning things is much better, but in terms of where they are right now, they're probably sort of similar. You know, that sounds stupid, but this is, Benitez is when we manage Newcastle, so Ancelotti's coming towards, not saying where Newcastle, but you know what I mean, it's like the only thing, the reason I thought Benitez was a good fit at the time was because he had managed Newcastle and he had sort of experienced a club away from the higher echelons of the game in European football. But I suppose in terms of at the other end of things, they've got similar experiences and Ancelotti's done more and won more. So I suppose on that point, I should sort of be happy with it because it sort of does tick the bot. Has anyone 17 trophies or something? Yeah, he's won a lot of stuff. Listen, he's a successful manager. Like I said before, he's manager at Elmadrid, Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Milan. You know, big, big, big clubs in Welsh football with all the top names. He's beat Liverpool quite a few times even recently. He's played Liverpool four times in the last two seasons and he's beat them twice in a row. In fact, the only team to beat Liverpool so far this season. So, you know, he's got there, and it's nice, it's nice for him. But we've got one of them coming soon. Exactly. Listen, it's like I said before, it's difficult to know exactly what happened to me. Duncan's shown us what we crave as fan and stack connection with the team and that connection and bringing it together. And if Anciolotti is smart and I think he probably is because he's been to a lot of clubs, he will buy into that with Duncan Ferguson and he'll say that you're the connection, the fans love you, the players are sponsor you. And if you could ideally get Duncan's motivation and threatening looks and Anciolotti's careful planning, you might have a man. You might have the man at the top and he's all started and comes down and he's going to be like the over figure and it all works through, his assistant and everything else and the coaching staff. We'll have to wait and see. Listen, it's not been confirmed yet. So we're just going to take it as... One thing I would say is if you're an Everton player though you can't say to him, show me your trophy. Exactly. Straight away there's a respect and from the outside world look at his clubs and then go up Everton the next one on the list. The one thing that would completely smooth it over for me would be to bring one of his old players to Everton. Like who? Of course it would but that's you'd allow bloody Alan Party to be brought to London. He is actually. So go and get Slatan, you're adding my PSG. Go and get him, bring him with you. I think the thing is like I said it's one of them it puts Everton... people will sit up a little bit probably in tight notice. It's probably what Mr Sheary wanted. Brands I believe has given the full approval to that and he's worked with people like Louis Mandel when he was getting on. I think what it should do ideally is it should allow brands now to get on with his job because Nancy Lottie's managed some big clubs. You said they're off here before but they're off the training ground. This fella he's just... he'll have had demands on him. Everton think they're needy Napoli fans and... And he's had win ratios that Bayamunich and Railman did of 75% I think the last time he fell under 50% was a win ratio with that Parmig I think. Everything was a Parmig was the second club. So it was really on but because of who he is people will look at him and go with his name and that should allow Marcel Brand to carry on what he started last summer. So theoretically we still should be trying to buy a similar kind of player as what we wanted to grow and then maybe anti Lottie will say yeah but let's get it. He'll understand the standard of a player now because if he's worked with the very best he'll understand the standard what it requires to be a top player. But waiting to see what happens obviously Duncan's in charge for the game against Leicester and possibly Arsenal and then maybe maybe anti Lottie be in the stands on Saturday maybe he's going to have a few days away I don't know. Well the latest reports are he's going to Napoli to sign off on the thing and then he's a parent and then apparently according to the latest reports he'll put Pennsylvania. He's got a holiday home I believe in Vancouver and he was supposed to go there and that's why a lot of people will say it's not going to happen. He's willing to have a break but I don't know if he's here. Offered a deal he couldn't refuse. According to all reports he could not refuse. He's going to be managing on Thursday or Friday he'll be confirmed so and then that kind of fits in that Duncan would take the team anyway Saturday and he'd be a kick-up for the atmosphere as well if he wasn't on Saturday but if he introduced anti Lottie before and Duncan's taking it. That's the sheet. Lockwell Saturday then? It's about winning the game so that's the most important thing.
