If nothing else, Farhad Moshiri has, at considerable expense, bought ­himself a manager who believes in what he is doing. Instead, his job is to give Everton a sense of direction it has been lacking for so long. Ancelotti is an appointment probably brokered in the private members’ clubs of Monaco and London, the circles Moshiri moves in. He moves between jobs relatively frequently, he has often inherited teams of established quality, better teams than this Everton one. But in going all out for and landing Ancelotti, Moshiri has at least shown his understanding of the Everton motto.
