Ancelotti "total support of the owner and the club, minus one fan"

You have to hand it to Carlo. Of course the disgraceful banner put up outside the club's training ground which I posted about here has grabbed some headlines and as expected the press wanted to hear Carlo's take on it. Carlo's response was fantastic and you have to hand it to the bloke, he remains a class act despite the pressure he has been put under at the moment.

When asked of the banner, Carlo responded:

"Was it only one banner? If only one, there's no problem. For a manager it's important to have support of the club, the players and the fans – all apart from one of them. It's the right way to move on quickly.

In Italy, it would be different, There, you can find 1,000 unhappy people outside the training ground. It's difficult to fight with 1,000 people. With one, we can manage. If it's only one, there's no problem."

Just hope that the pillock that put the banner up gets found out and hung out to dry!.
