Kevin Thelwell - New Director of Football

[Davidoff]

We're deffo gonna win every transfer window... again

With his links to Redbull I would think this is a Cahill appointment.

Goat saw it first

 

[Pabbers]

Is he Cahills voice at the club…

This guy seems clueless! I’ve just watched an interview from when he was at wolves. He talked about strategy, Succession planning, discussions with heads of each footballing department. It really didn’t sound like he knew his role was as a scout as davek has told us. It sounded to me like he was in cloud cuckoo land and thinking he was a director of football!!

 

[Papa Shango]

Good luck to him.

 

[Buckers]

Isn’t that Vitor Peraira?

It’s just Frank with a fake nose on.

….I like that we have a DoF, I think it takes a lot of pressure off Lampard and is just what he needs. i wonder if Lampard had something to do with the appointment.

i hope Moshiri let’s him get on with his job, otherwise he’ll be another White Elephant that a few Benitez supporters on here blame.

Good luck to him

I'm sure Dave wishes him the same as well.

Because this

"Thelwell, 48, will report directly to the Club’s Board of Directors, acting as the strategic lead for recruitment and all the Club’s football departments, including First Team, Academy, coaching, sport science, medical services and analysis."

.....And will approve of every signing that Farhad makes...

I'm sure Dave wishes him the same as well.

So he's a head scout really isn't he?

Why dont they just call him that as the title DoF is toxic at this club.

Of course he does !

Has anyone said Iwobi was a Thelwell signing yet?

Has anyone said Iwobi was a Thelwell signing yet?

Thelwell is the first great Thelwell signing.

 

[Azza]

He looks like Steve Walsh's son. It's a no from me.
