The Ancelotti Thread

[HRiver 1,512]

If we get knocked out, it means a fail season. Such a long season without a single trophy, sucks. Carlo out definitely in the summer if we lose at Old Trafford.

Maybe its because every crucial game the idiots seems to be right.

So you are suggesting that you are always right?

[Tomo 21,751]

regardless what happens Ancelotti should STAY.

What the fuck will sacking him do, we will be back to square one, Carlo has a sensatinal record at Old Trafford and so do we, we beat them there 2-1 last season with half our team out, the same score next week will see us through, why the fuck can't we do the same again with a full team?

This tie is certainly NOT over, score 1st there and its GAME ON.

Back to the Carlo situation, he has done fantastic considering, weve been spoilt since Mourinho, he came in won back to back titles with ease and every other manager is expected to do the same and its not going to happen. We missed Luiz badly tho even so we were denied 2 clear pens.

I can tell you now if Carlo goes id be even more gutted than i was when Jose left.

IN CARLO I TRUST.

What your points to support Carlo beyond summer if we dont go through in CL ?

CL manager my fucking arse.

Seriously I wouldn't mind if we go out against Real or Barca, Schalke or...I would then just hope for this season to finish as quickly as it can..But it's Man Utd we are playing against so it would hurt..

The only one who should replace Carlo is Andre Villas Boas..no one else..

[Ollie 4,400]

I can't genuinely see any reasons carlo should stay except the thing about trying to keep a settled manager. This guy aint got a clue, we lost 1-0 home to inter, 1-0 home to man utd, in the league we've lost 13 matches in 2 seasons, we play long ball all the time and quite frankly theres more chance of this team getting worse than progressing and getting better. We're not even a tough team to beat anymore, it's not good. I had the feeling after Rooney scored that we wouldn't come back, i had no confidence and fuck i'm happy i didn't go out and watch that crock of shit.

He's not a Champions League manager at all. Milan were a Champions League team.

[HRiver 1,512]

Andre Villas Boas definitely, good shout. Tactics mastermind.

[Kostas 1,468]

30 pages and you've yet to provide a proper argument. Didn't expect you to change now.

Keep blaming refs and luck.

Indeed. If theres a good reason to support Carlo beyond summer, I might change my mind. But, if we fail in CL, there wont be arguments like that "His record wasnt that bad" - Grant. "He was sacked too quickly" - Scolari.

We gave Carlo enough time this season, we bought expensive players during the season to show him support, but the results are awful, his decisions are crazy.

Don't agree. Milan are a poor team.

And in everything you listed there you forgot that Lampard isn't the sam lampard when Jose was here. Drogba too.

That we don't have an exclusive acm.. We are even weak on the wings.

[Ollie 4,400]

Milan ARE a weak team NOW. He was at Milan in their Golden era, player and manager.

As for players not being as good now, it's down to Carlo to see that and do something about it.

Spot on.

This. He is a fraud but the weak squad we have is not helping to be fair.

Wtf? How were they in their golden era with team that wasn't that good?How was a team that lacked attacking options great team?

[The Big Drog 1,110]

As much as I like Carlo, if we dont get the result we need at OT then I would say that it is time to go. Just the other night, Mourinho gave a lesson in tactical mastery against Spurs and his Madrid side won in style, Roman will be fully aware of that, in contrast tonight we looked bland and entirely out of ideas, there was no clever tactical switch, no shock inclussion or surprise, it was predictable in terms of selection, shape and performance. I think there has always been a question mark about Ancelotti's tactics (and substitutions) if Roman isn't completely behind him then its better than we let him go early in the Summer so that the new manager can bring in his own players who are loyal to him as we look to rebuild our squad.

CA had a team filled with world-class players in his eight years at Milan (except for his last year)

How was a team that lacked attacking options great team?

Ever heard of Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Crespo, Pato, Kaka, Rui Costa and Seedorf?

[BLionheart 516]

i don't think the idea of stability is enough to let carlo stay , the man has proved time and time again that he is really poor tactically , he can't read games and more importantly he can't get the best out of his players .

add that to the fact that he has no balls to stand in the faces of big players , some would say he had won the players and the dressing room but i would say those players has owned carlo and won the dressing room .

Where was Rui Costa in 06?

All of them bar Kaka are oldies.. In 06 Milan had a crisis. Sheva and Crespo weren't there in 06 if I'm right..

Just say that Inter are world class too..

What tonight brought back memories of was the first leg if the Inter vs Chelsea tie from last years Cahmpions League, we looked fairly toothless offensively and got caught out badly defensively.
