2024/25 Kevin Thelwell

[ToffeeTim]

As if Dyche had ever watched him play before we signed him. If he won’t play players that don’t have Premier League experience then he should be sacked. It’s 2024, managers don’t dictate transfer policy to Directors of Football. If he doesn’t like it then we can show him the door.

I’m far from a Thelwell fan but on this one I won’t be swayed. He addressed a position that we were in dire need to strengthening in the summer, as our opening games have proven conclusively. And the manager is digging his heels in and playing his mate who concedes 3 goals per game over that player. That is on the manager and he should be sacked. I’m sure the next manager will use the players that have been brought in.

The DOF doesn't select the manager at Everton so we can't say he should have ultimate say.

That's the only way I think the DOF model can work but we know it's not the case here, so there needs to be a joined up approach. I dont see any coordination to our recruitment this summer.
