Kevin Thelwell - New Director of Football

[Goat]

He was Director of Football at PSV from 2010-2018. He is now Director of Football at PSV.

Hes CEO at PSV now.

Fella looked the part and good in a suit though didn't he?...

You're wrong about this. It was the skinny jeans that really suited him.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

He walked back into his old job in the relative backwater that is the Eredivisie.

When this man started at Everton, there were rumours that Manchester United were impressed. His trajectory was upwards. At best, his career has stalled. He went to the big league and bombed.

His confidentiality agreement must have ran out on the 30th of July.

Happy for him to spout now, doing more damage to himself then us, in his line of work you dont bite the hand that feeds you, other owners will look at those comments and his record here and say hes not for us. His legacy of costs and bumper contracts heaped onto the club and unmovable players will take us a couple of years to shift. He could never sell a player. Was a disaster.

He's in damage limitation mode.

Everton are the pin up for how to piss away money and spend badly.

He was the clubs director of football 2018, appointed to the board in 2019, and renewed his deal in 2021 - only to be sacked.

His record/transfers and the state in which he left the club - on the brink of relegation is there for everyone to see.

"But, it was the owner. He did my job for me"

 

[Drico]

Hes CEO at PSV now.

He's back where he started from, much richer, and much diminished. A massive flop.

I would say that in terms of his job as DoF it’s better because they put way more of an emphasis on building youth and long term set ups and they have regular European competition.

Stature wise us being in the PL is a way bigger job for sure

Facts speak for themselves he left us an annual bill of £260 mill in wages and ammortisation every year and a team that finished a couple of points above the relegation zone. No redeeming attribute.

Was a disaster.

He continues to receive some support from a few blues who think he was not allowed to roll out his masterplan.

Ild seen enough of his judgement to realise he'd have cratered us worse than we are right now.

If we was from Accrington rather than Amsterdam he's have been chased out well before he was.

Wish I flopped like that at work.

Carlo bigged him up because he was a useful idiot to hide behind.

 

[nsno-chris]

No Chris. We tried to sign Tomori on loan.

Why would Norwich loan our their first choice centre half? It's a nonsense.

He also wanted Max Aarons after he realised his golden boy Kenny was crap. Was he also going to try and loan him too?

I never said Norwich were going to do anything; I said that was his plan to try and secure a loan.

Unless you were part of the inner workings, then I’ll take your word; others I’d rather believe the people who were close to the deal

Oh he most certainly does.

Wasn't that long ago he was linked with Man Utd.

He's very much attributed to the "EVERTON HAVE SPENT HALF A BILLION AND LOOK AT THE STATE OF THEM" and rightly so.

If he's linked to any club now, the first thing fans will see is Mina, Gomes, Delph, Gbamin, Moise Kean, Iwobi, Allan, Doucoure etc.

Just as well for Marco Silva with Richarlison, really.

Fella looked the part and good in a suit though didn't he?...

Yeah there’s no point in rehashing what’s happened, because we are all aware of how much money we’ve wasted.

But it’s clear that water was very muddy at Everton and there was clear interference; which is the issue.

Just some people don’t want to accept it

People within football know the work he did.

Hes peerless.

Shows how obscene the game is now, I'm afraid. Failure is massively rewarded. You simply have to crash the party and it's heads in trough time for all manner of mediocrity.

Carlo loved everyone until he didnt, an absolute hitman.

Cant help but like him, the fecker.

Still think we should build a statue of him outside BMD

Bill's already got first dibs on the plinths.
