2022/23 Kevin Thelwell

[Khalekan]

I think January might have been the toughest month for any DoF in the world if they were in his position. You had utter turmoil at the club from top to bottom, the manager being sacked, then the club trying to go for Bielsa and then Dyche, two styles of play that couldn't be more different, then you had the owner going out being a dope and saying we'll get a striker, then bidding £40m for Conor Gallagher basically informing every club that we've got money to spend, Danjuma rejecting us right before signing a deal and then the chairman butting his fat head into every potential deal leading to nothing getting done. This is basically all information that the club put out too, I can't even imagine what else might've been going on.

I don't hold anything against Thelwell in regards to what happened in January. It was a thankless job. The fact that he was even able to line up deals for Elanga, Danjuma and Beto are a testement in my opinion, the fact they fell through isn't really anything to do with him.

Personally, I find the people who try to lay the blame at Thelwell or really at Brands when he was here are just truly very naive. I don't think either man are the best DoF's in the world but the fact that Moshiri and Kenwright are the bosses of this club make it an impossible job for anyone, they not only bow to every manager's opinion but they also directly overrule thier DoF by trying to involve themselves in deals.

There's a reason that Brands got a job after leaving Everton, Thelwell will do the same, the likes of Kenwright, DBB and the rest of the higher ups at Everton will never work in football again though, such is why they're hanging on with their death grips and refuse to let go.

Excellent post, sir

Looks like that gamble paid off nicely you weasel Kopite.

 

[hktoffee]

Fraud.

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

One of the biggest criminals in Everton history.

due to the unbelievable incompetence of our board, this ferret has slid under the radar.

His failure to find us goals has cost us dearly

If we stay up he has done a good job so far, especially in January when he didn't get us stuck with more deadwood, a big error we have made in the past.

Lol

We were one of the worst scoring teams last year, he sold Richarlison and added Maypay and McNeil (albeit McNeil has slightly improved but is still miles and miles behind the impact of Richie)

Fella is a kopite fraud, but why am I surprised that you’re defending him

We had to sell Richarlison because of FFP problems caused by Moshiri, this pre dates Thelwell, try and keep up.

McNeil has been a great purchase, go on YouTube and see if you can find some footage from the Brighton game recently.

Kevs doing a good job and hopfully new owners keep him

Disagree on McNeil.

As I said in Jan though...he'll either be responsible for Danjuma/lack of forward players in Jan...

Or he'll have gotten away with it and put us in a position to spend more in the summer.

Of course you do Zat; if he was 28 you’d have a different POV
