2019/20 Marcel Brands

Just holding a mirror up to the local Brands Davidian fruitcakes on here.

But Dave, the war is over.

You lost.

Yes. But we're miles off that ;point so emplying a DoF right now is superfluous and confusing to ther managers we've had. Koeman and Ancelotti may have worked with DoF before, but at a club like Everton where the calibre of men attracted to it for that role has been weak, they chose to bypass them.

Again you have no idea whatsoever how it works or what the function is. Did silva bypass this function too?

At what level do you think it’s required?
Do you have a target in mind? At what scale? What factors are you measuring that on?

The war is over in June 2021.

Oh you poor thing, nobody told you?

Tomorrow Brands drops his full nuclear arsenal on you.

 

[SteStocksDJ]

Brands will be overseeing the footballing development of the club.

ancelotti has probably said he wants Rodriguez and Allan.

brands has agreed as they are better than what we have. And we can fit them into developing the squad.

Then we mould or scout for players who fit their style.

 

[Blue_Berry]

Gill, Kenyon - to name but two.

Decades ago. The world has changed. DoF is the new Malcolm Allison.

Being a Luddite is so out of fashion now Dave

 

[AmericasToffee]

@davek how dare you say anything even hinting at negative toward Contract Dave.

Cannot wait for the brands contract extension to be unveiled with these three... I’ll be coming on here just to see you lose the plot

Who should organise the scouts? The head scout.
Who should negotiate the deals? The club CEO (if she;s not up to it, get shut of her).

Who employs the head scout?

Why would you have a CEO engaged with employee contracts below management/Director level?

Both of these are handles

Youve gone from having former club secretary Michael Dunford covering commercial + transfer deals to now having the CEO run everything.

It appears as though youre advocating the modern day disaster version of this which is Edward Woodward at United.

Woodwards appointment coincides with below par results. Theyre actively looking for a DOF.


Would you be happy with this group of players from where we were when Brands joined;

GK: Pickford / Lossl
RB: Coleman
CB: Mina / Branthwaite / Gibson / Holgate / Keane
LB: DIgne / Nkounkou
RM: James
CM: Davies / Gomes / Gbamin / Doucoure / Allan
LM: Iwobi / Gordon
CF: Richarlison / Kean / DCL

21 players there and short GK + RB + RM.

An enormous jump in quality from the squad Brands inherited though.

He just needs to shift the rest or allow their contracts to expire over the next 2 seasons.

There's a very short answer to all that desperate nonsense:

12th in the league

Iwobi

Delph

Kean

Gbamin

Zero mention of him in this, all about Ancelotti and Kia Joorabchian

Brands was personally serving the Columbian some brew on that jet.
