Just had a look there, he retweeted it and didn't write it. Hopefully it's through though.

He did write it, look at the byline.

Sorry, I just looked at his twitter feed. If they make a move for Ancelotti then I could be wrong about them wanting to sell, it would be a massive statement.

It really is pinch of salt territory but with Ashton writing it, I'm convinced some sort of conversation has happened.

Over the two top managers available on the market, I'd lean towards Carlo, unlikely as it is to happen, cos I really don't see this crowd sacking BR.

The only issue is whether Ancelotti will come in with no money, a beaten looking squad and 6 games already gone. I can't see it happening to be honest, even though it would be a stunning move.

Harry Palmr · 23-09-2015 09:58AM

Beaten looking squad.....? Bit harsh on Danny Ings that!

Ancelotti is a chequebook manager, a good one but he has not worked with less than very big budget indeed.

brevity · 23-09-2015 09:59AM

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

FSG won't be selling with the stadium being redeveloped & the the huge tv money to come in the 16/17 season.

Surely that would just be factored into any price for the club. Not to say it will be sold but that future earnings wouldn't be a blocker for a current sale.

Grayditch · 23-09-2015 10:03AM

Ancelotti is probably a dream too far at this stage, unfortunately.

dogbert27 · 23-09-2015 10:03AM

Been on holidays for two weeks, I take it we've bounced back from that blip against West Ham right?

Course they would, imagine how that would look if they did and Rodgers wasn't sacked....

It'd be great to be good again.

dogbert27 · 23-09-2015 10:13AM

Could they offer Ancelloti a director of football role?

They could.

Doubt he'd accept it, though.

Ancelotti blasting out an operatic tenor version of, "You Never Walk Alone", on the sidelines would be gas craic.

Well they would in fairness.

Agent Coulson · 23-09-2015 10:25AM

The one thing about Ancelotti is he goes into a club and works with the players that are there and the players he is given so a transfer committee wouldn't bother him.

At Milan he worked under Berlusconi who controlled and brought players into the club on his whim.

At Chelsea he worked under Abramovich who bought players he wanted.

At FSG he worked under a DoF who brought in players.

At Madrid he worked with players brought in by the club president.

rob316 · 23-09-2015 10:27AM

Ancelotti would be able to work fine with this squad, plenty of untapped quality and potential there. The aura around the squad and club immediately changes with a winner like that at the helm.

He also doesn't have any firmly held beliefs in terms of systems or style of play. He seems to be pragmatic and willing to cut his cloth to fit the material available to him. No doubt this role would be a different challenge to what he's had at Milan, Chelsea, PSG and Real but his competitive record and experience would leave me very excited at having him on board. I'd certainly be happy to give an elite manager of his calibre the benefit of the doubt for an extended period of time anyway.

So you want him to be the pre match entertainer??

Wouldn't you prefer him to be the manager?? :P

Only satellite channel showing it is BEIN 11, it will be next to impossible to find anything for it.

I've gone PES. Think its fantastic this year, in all honesty.

True test in when I play it with all the lads this weekend, as we've all been FIFA heads in recent times.

I wills say though, there does seem to be button lag when playing online, or rather input delay. That's where FIFA may win.

However, I've had more fun playing offline, and even playing MyClub and stuff online, than I have had in FIFA since about FIFA 13, so its worth it so far for me.

I will be eagerly awaiting further updates on this.
