I've never met, or spoke to the fella.

Nor should I.

I've only ever had one email exchange when I sent our Everton Mishmash press release to the Echo in 2018.

But, I do have a general gist of the role of a communication manager at a company. And it's along these lines;





... He's not fan liaison, and he's not a spokesperson (like this role). It's not his job to directly, and personally communicate to fans. It's his job to work on the clubs comms channels/strategy.

I also suspect he reports into the Director of Communications, who'll report into others.

Google Man Utd and communications manager, then google their name and Twitter etc. You wont find them representing their club/speaking to fans direct. Do it for any club.

I'd actually be criticising the club if we had a communication manager who is giving club opinion on personal social media accounts.

Roles differ for every organisation, Everton probably have an internal coms guy but he was hired publicly as an external one.

Either way me and @tommye are having a straightener and the last man standing gets to front him.

I'll just head straight to his then shall I?

Yeah I’ll take that.

Surely Head of Communications just means overseeing the drivel written on the website and programme?

WAIT! HE'S MARRIED TO DIXIE DEAN'S GRANDDAUGHTER!!??!!

He sure kept that quiet. You think he'd talk about it more.

I don't know why anyone would want a job at Everton to be honest. You're on a hiding to nothing.

Exactly. I work in major events, and there's no way I would work for Everton at the moment, they're a basket case!

Depends on what the role is, it will always attract managers as it's a PL club (at the moment) and managers have massive ego's and many want to be THAT one who turns the club around again as it puts them in the eyeline of the big boys.

No longer has a egotistical chairman to protect , doesn’t talk to the fanbase , yet another useless employee of Everton fc robbing the club blind, in fact anyone who enabled protected and backed Kenwright is no friend of Everton fc

Healthy bank balance and when it goes wrong you get to leave unscathed

Going back five years ago my son-law who works in IT worked at Everton for few months
He could not belive how far Everton communication in the IT network was below
Basic standards

….a mouthpiece for a regime that put us in the state we’re in. Any lasting residue needs to be cleared out.

Surely he’ll read this thread, he’ll know how Evertonians feel and he has the perfect opportunity to respond.

Thing is he has outlasted many others when he is someone who really should have gone years ago.

Has he even left the underground bunker yet ?
