I get why we did and that the opportunity felt too good to turn down, but he was never going to be Everton manager for more than a few years. And we were never going to be able to financially support where he wanted to be.
We had Moyes in the bag - contract written up - the night before Ancelotti signed with us. Say what you like about a backwards step, negative footy…I guarantee we wouldn’t be fighting relegation with multiple points deductions, if we’d appointed him.
That was our sliding doors moment. It might not have resulted in a Champions League trophy but there’d have been more chance of that than finding the club where we do today.
