On Tuesday afternoon, @TheGwladysSt shared the number of David Moyes, Roberto Martinez, Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce and Marco Silva-signed players that were left in the squad, which got fans talking.

Get rid of the 10 in the middle and we’re not too bad

I can’t wait for the summer I might be to excited here but I really think Ancelotti will attract a much higher quality of player to the club and finally move us in the direction we should have been going these past 4 years

Does Carlo Ancelotti need to have a big clear out in the summer?Yes, the squad needs re-building
No, the squad needs more stability |
Despite having a squad comprised of players signed under five different manager, the Toffees are in a relatively healthy position in the Premier League table in 11th, sitting four points behind seventh (per BBC).
However, despite the club’s relatively positive position in the league table, supporters continued to air that they thought a clearout was needed to progress.
Long overdue a clearance.

Just shows what a mess Everton has been in.

Not only five different managers, but five different playing styles too. We need to establish an Everton way of playing. Then changing manager is not such a big deal.

What do we think?
With many supporters feeling that a clearout by Carlo Ancelotti is required over the summer, it will be interesting to see how the next transfer window really unfolds.
While Everton’s transfer plans for the summer are still unclear, Phil Kirkbride of the Liverpool Echo has aired that he believes player sales will be a key feature before any incomings (Live blog, 10:44, 13/02/2020).
