2022/23 Kevin Thelwell

[maccavennie]

There's no way he survives a relegation.

Either way, a new board would dismiss him 5 minutes after the season ends.

This is why a new board are so important, to sweep away all the disasters that the current board have created.

Our only non defensive options off the bench are Ellis simms, demarai gray and then Tom Davies…if that’s not a damning indictment of how he hasn’t done his job properly then I don’t know what is.

 

[MikeH72]

Tarkowski and Onana have been good for me.

I think they’ve both been average at best.

Shocking that, on top of that we sold Gordon and weakend it even further, without bringing anybody in to an already poor forwards choice.
Why did we buy tarks and coady when we had Keane, mina , Holgate, Godfrey one of them would have done.
Same in midfield, we have a glut of the same type of player.
The area we were most wanting in and everbody knew it was a forward.
Why did they pay Rondon off when you don't have anyone remotely to replace him?
He wasn't the greatest but he could hold the ball up and certainly better than nothing.
This club is a farce , seems to have no joined up thinking and to be honest looks to have no clue about football even on a basic level.

 

[Gilbert..]

How does it work.
Im guessing you sit in your office. Look at the squad on paper. And everything screams non existent forward line with 1 forward who is never fit.
Right ok i know my task. January i will have to work around the clock for 31 days to make sure we dont go into games with no options. Even loans if i have to. I can at least get loans. I cant leave this as it is. Its certain relegation if i do. Cmon kevin. I can do this.

End of january..

Nothing.

Good job kevin.

 

[BlueToff]

Our best players this season have been Big Kev signings.

By that what d'you mean? They're also Lampard signings since they were signed off by the manager at the time, too.

As DoF he has objectively failed hugely at recruiting for the biggest need the squad had.

 

[BlueToff]

I think they’ve both been average at best.

And neither of them join anyway if Lampard didn't do his sales pitch.

 

[HowardsWay]

Tark is a complete mess. His passing in the derby game was atrocious. As for Onana, can't help feeling the same.

 

[DanEFC92]

Onana the only real 'success' and even then he's not been that good.

 

[lungo]

Onana the only real 'success' and even then he's not been that good.

If Onana is a success i'm the new head of the Church of England!

 

[steven]

If Onana is a success i'm the new head of the Church of England!

Congratulations on the new role.

Onana will make us money when he leaves I think. He has too much pressure on his shoulders imo and only really his first full season at the top level. In hindsight we could have done with spending the money we did have elsewhere though.

We’ll get buttons for him if relegation becomes a reality. There would be a fire sale with Onana and Pickford going for a fraction of what they’re worth.

Not even bear thinking about..

Come on geezer Thelwell was the driving force behind negotiations.

Every manager does a sale pitch thats literally their role in recruitment talks.

So why does he always gives credit to Kenwright for this part?

DOF and Chairman negotiate however Thelwell is the main man in the process.

The deal goes to the Chairman to finalise who then hands it to the owner to sign off Moshers said that himself in that interview.
