2020/21 Marcel Brands

[Toffeelover]

Rat!

Thats not nice.

It's one way of taking that phrasing, and he's pretty angry.

I had someone point that out to me yesterday on a different matter.

I think it's legit, but I can see how you wouldn't, lacking context. You think I'm joking.

Joke or serious it's not a cool thing to say.

Joke or serious it's not a cool thing to say.

It was very legit of the person that said it to me yesterday to say it to me, even if she happened to be wrong.

She said it because she cared about me.

It should be obvious, from context, that I care about Goat.

 

[Goat]

Eek.

May I suggest the mental health thread?

I'm fine frandel, Everton just rips me apart on a daily basis, but after 40+ years, I'm kinda used to it.

What a clab.

Fair enough. Good to hear. Phrasing caused me to have the need to check. Thank you for putting my mind at ease.

From an Athletic article about directors of football:

A senior source at one Premier League club lists Dan Ashworth (Brighton), Stuart Webber (Norwich), Michael Edwards (Liverpool), Jon Rudkin (Leicester), Txiki Begiristain (Manchester City) and Marina Granovskaia (Chelsea) as the best examples of sporting directors who have “good autonomy”. Elsewhere, one Premier League sporting director is described as a “glorified player liaison officer” and another as a “glorified head scout”.

And specifically about Brands:

Marcel Brands, Everton’s director of football (above, centre), had next to no say in the decision to appoint Rafael Benitez. Moshiri chose Benitez — Everton’s owner calls the shots when it comes to managers — and Kia Joorabchian stepped in to negotiate the Spaniard’s deal.

Nothing we didn't already suspect, but confirmation nonetheless.

He's a hologram.

 

[Goat]

He's a hologram.

He lives rent-free in your head.

 

[windymiller]

He lives rent-free in your head.

Nah, he paid £28m to live there and loans it out month to month for £200. Businessman.

 

[davek]

I wont be quiet until I've run him out of the club.

 

[windymiller]

I wont be quiet until I've run him out of the club.

Why is that OK but Benitez is untouchable according to you?

 

[Goat]

I wont be quiet until I've run him out of the club.

Yeah Moshiri is taking notice for sure Dave, hence the new 3 year contract.

 

[Efcjake]

Can’t defend him really any more. He’s either not doing his job properly or he’s getting overruled but not leaving.

Im not arsed if he is punted.

There are not many people at Everton I care much about anymore.

A cesspit of a club that I hope I can rid myself from very soon.

This is earlier than I expected but welcome to our cult of Brands plotters.

Haha I'm not joining your gang ever.

 

[Moomin]

He is paid to look pretty for the publicity photos.

We should make him wear a hooters t-shirt.
