Anyone else feel its a bit of a bad time to appoint a new DOF, obviously we want him for a reason and we will give him a crack. Remember when we appointed Walsh in the summer and it seemed to stilt our activity that summer, i am not just thinking of signings i am also thinking of selling players as we clearly need to rationalise and make space in the squad and i assume the wage bill.
Part of me hopes Walsh stays for that reason or the roles could dove tail in a system.
Here's a better idea. Fire Walsh out of a cannon right now. If it's takes yet another new face to come in and realise this chancer shouldn't even be trusted with the petty cash tin, we've got serious problems.I think the sooner the better! Walsh can stay as Brands head scout, which is all he ever was anywayand report to Brands who makes the final decision. Don’t think it will take him too much time to figure out the dross in the squad

You should have told me it was a competition.

You stated nobody else in Spain could afford his wages,I just pointed out that monetarily at least two clubs can.How that's digging a hole is a bit of a stretch,but if it keeps you happy,fine.The trick is, knowing when to stop digging.
Not unless they've changed the mechanism by which transfers are done. Bfs would still be a part of it just the other half of the equation would change.I think this is where we need to be looking regarding what will happen to the club next season.
I think that if Brands does come then the decision making at Everton falls into a completely new pair of hands... wherever that brings us.

Definitely should never have given a scout as much power as he had. He’s probably always just reported to the manager then comes here an we give him power over the manager............EvertonHere's a better idea. Fire Walsh out of a cannon right now.

Get rid now, start again.
But this is Everton......
In theory I think a strong DoF presents the manager with a selection of players that he thinks represent the best value and suitability for the club. The manager picks the one he wants of that list.
Since theDoF works to the long term style of the club the question becomes if Allardyce remains will he set the style of play and recruitment beyond his tenure?
Possibly the Italy, Arsenal or Chelsea. I doubt he'd class Everton as an offer he can't refuse unless we're paying him 12m a season or somethingLVG saying he's agreed a new job somewhere....
