He really wouldn’t mate, and that’s beside the fact he’s a clapped out dinosaur kopite joke of a football manager/coach.
No Dof will ever work at Everton while the owner, chairman and board get involved in every football related decision, after trusting Steve Walsh to do a competent job.
That’s why all DoFs have all failed (Walsh did himself in) as well as all the managers they have appointed.
If Thelwell was a proper functioning DoF he would be able to bullet lampard if he wanted, continue to sign any players he thinks would improve the squad and system we want to play (another vital ingredient missing) and have a list of managerial targets ready to go appoint today (not just bill Jung-uns little black book of old mates).
Look at the other clubs and how they go about things - we are bollocksed due to moshiri, kenwright and co - it’s that simple.
