For once I would just love us to have deals done early. His deadline day obsession has been a shambles so far. Doing most of your business on deadline day is one of the clearest signs of a poorly ran and unsuccessful club.

Got his snooze set for deadline day I reckon.
I second the shouts that I want the business done quickly
No patience left for his constant haggling
Just get the deals done so we have as much preparation time as possible
Oh, and if we're short by the time the winter window rolls around, actually sign some people then too instead of your rigid "No signings in January" policy

Cannot agree more. You wondered what does this guy do for the best part of the year...never seem to have neither a strategy or plan on how we can move forward as a club. There is no direction and i dont belive we will ever be successful as long as we have Brand...
Just ignore the next 2 months lads.
Our transfer window starts 4th October.

Whilst everyone wants that mate it's surely not that easy, otherwise everyone who isn't a 'big club' would be doing exactly this, certainly when it comes to higher quality players.
Those kinds of players will have a choice of clubs.. hell, even Hojberg appears to have a choice, so it's another layer we have to contend with. We aren't up there with City et al who can just spunk money at whomever they want and they'll sign without seconds thought. We, unfortunately, need to be more patient.

It’ll either be the summer that cements the drawing up of architectural plans for his statue....
Or cements the shoes he‘ll be wearing when he observes the bottom of the Mersey. The deep bit.

While it'd be best to get deals done early, there is an order to the tfr market. I read a book about hellas verona years ago and they had a string of players sign for them who then went on to be top Internationals. He said for them to compete in the tfr market, they have to leave deals late, because they can't compete with the bigger clubs. So they identify a target, if they move early then the player and selling club will notify other potential suitors as they will want a bigger move, and more often than not Verona wouldn't get their man. So instead they waited til late in the window when there wasn't time for sellers/players to try and negotiate better, and then they'd ensure they got their man. Providing no one else had already bought them of course.
That's why the transfer market usually starts with Real Madrid doing their business, and then it filters down until it's our turn.

Brands left FF with Silva still manager...but leaving Kenwright and Moshiri still in there, and Silva was sacked hours later. (Brands had earlier made a statement in an interview for stability and to carry on as we were).
Even before that happened Moshiri had already contacted Ancelotti and his agent.
Brands is just an office boy. Do you expect him to buck the trend of all hirings at the top at Everton and to actually be in control?
Is Barett Baxendale in control of the commercial side? Is Chong in control of the stadium?
All of this is pulled completely out of your wizard's sleeve.

Go and re-read the reports of the chaim of events that led to Silva being ousted.
If you think Brands made that decision you are a fool.
