Once we gave him "total control" he was collecting 10/12 players a summer for academy etc. In fairness we flipped a few but he really wanted finnan gone but bought absolute tosh.
As the lads said he knew his Spanish players back then and plucked garcia and alonso (and morientes) before mascherano and torres.
Who knows what contacts he still has so it's more about the clubs structures and the team he has around him to coach improving players and honestly anchelotti did that with calvert Lewis imo.
I reckon with a crowd back in Everton would be much better next season under anchelotti anyway so it's all about whether the team gets any backing.
It's not like fans need to sign his name is it?
