2024/25 Kevin Thelwell

[Rollo Tomassi]

A new broom sweeps clean and I don't think it is a major surprise. We all wanted new owners and they will want their own people in place.

I think he has done ok generally , some good and some bad. This is the dawn of a new era and TFG have decided this is the right thing to do and just because he was alright on a budget doesn't mean he is the right guy to spend the big money we are all hoping will be spent in the summer.

Bet Thewell has no shortage of suitors when he’s available.

Saying that, the assumption is we’re electing not to renew, it might be Thewell himself has a better offer and doesn’t want to renew.

Interesting point.

Beyond a consideration of the players that he's signed it's hard for us to give an opinion on how successful he has been as a DoF because so much is unknown / not measurable.

I think he's done a very decent job in very difficult circumstances but did leave the squad slightly unbalanced and it's striking that he never signed a good full back or right midfield.

I think you are right though, it will be interesting to see where he end up and perhaps that will tell us a lot about how well he is regarded in footballing terms.

Personally I'd be surprised if a top half premier League team took him on.
