2019/20 Marcel Brands

Silva was a puppet mate. He was to coach and brands to manage the team (a true DOF role).

It's back fired on us in the short term. I'm inclined to agree with some of the above.

But...

Trying to get rid of the drosh we've purchased was never was going to be easy.

I'm still not convinced this DOF role fits the premier League.
It doesn't fit EFC that's for sure. Not when youn have a back seat driving owner. How can a DoF work when you have the Iranian Jesus Gil making decisions?

One - Why bring his nationality into it
Two - he is not anywhere near a Jesus Gil, Randy Lerner, Mike Ashley, Venky or any other nonsensical comparison. He’s not sacked managers every 5 minutes like Gil, froze assets like Lerner and Ashley, forced players into doing cheesy adverts like the Venky’s. His only mistakes imo were hiring Allardyce and Silva (the latter especially given he wound up getting longer in the job than Koeman did) and letting Kenwright stay around. He’s shown he can rectify mistakes and has seemingly finally landed the type of manager this club needs

1/ The irony of you pulling anyone up about use of nationality when you call the Irish 'Paddys'.

2/ He's sacked and hired 4 managers and hired and sacked / undermined two DoF. He is not and never will be an Everton man. It's alien to this club what he's done.
 

Not sure how trustworthy this is, but have read today that Ancelotti has absolute control of incomings and outgoings "despite the presence of director of football Marcel Brands".

A report in The Sun claims that United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been mulling over a move for Richarlison for months, with the 22-year-old valued at £70million

"Not sure how trustworthy this is".
 
If anyone thinks a manager of Ancelottis calibre is going to accept having a novice like brands pulling the strings ahead of him they are a sandwich short of a picnic.

brands job has now shrunk to such a level I suspect the board are hoping he will sneak away from the club, humiliated. Otherwise it's going to be an expensive couple of years, paying him massive wages to sit in his office colouring in pictures.
 
Ake is quality mate - will be at Chelsea or City come the end of January.

Wilson is a goalscorer which we haven't had since Rom left

Zaha has magic in his boots

Regardless of the fees all 3 of those players would have improved our starting 11.

Wilson has failed to score more than 8 premier league goals in 5 out of the last 6 seasons (109 games 37 goals), if he's a 50m striker we might as well give up

Hes been involved in 70 transfers in the last 18months.

I think he does a bit more than colours in books.

If people think 60 year old Ancelotti is gonna be travelling all over the world scouting players then they are picnic short of bread.

Ancelotti will do as he's told, Brands will continue to bring in the players as normal

The irony of you calling me out over using the term Paddy, when you constantly refer to Moshiri as a carpetbagger. In the bin Dave

What's controversial about carpetbagger? It's the actions of a man looking to make a financial killing. Is that not what he wants?
