2020/21 Marcel Brands

Because Brands has cratered the club and Benitez has a clean slate.
Surely Brands is here now and we all have to get behind him for the good of the club. He's literally just signed a new contract you know. He's not going anywhere, might as well get behind him (I believe that is the bland slogan that were all supposed to unite behind).
 

Townsend confirms Benitez basically signed him alone, after having a good relationship at Newcastle.


So honestly, what's the point in Brands? This shouldn't be happening in a DoF model. What does he actually do?
Im literally baffled, only Everton can appoint a DOF and not follow a DOF model

In all fairness I do think Brands will have given the go ahead too - but that's kind of my worry. I don't think he can pick a good attacking player

Anyone can do that. That's not directing football - that's being a nodding dog.

I want to defend him as, in theory, the DoF models means the manager turnover we've had in recent years wouldn't matter as much due to stability at that level.

But what the hell does this one actually do?
 

You cant say 3 years into the job when we're hamstrung to signing free players and bargain basement gambles that this isn't his fault.

The man is Steve Walsh with better hair and dress sense.

We have 5 players he's either paid big fees or big wages to that we can't wait to move on in Gomes, Bernard, Iwobi, Kean, and Delph.

That's 70 million in fees and millions more in wages that he has pished away.

He didn't start the fire but he didn't put it out either.

Yeah mate, I'm really kind of in the same boat.

I can say it's his fault he's not even choosing the free players and bargain basement gambles.

"Hi Rafael, my name is Marcel, Director of Football."
"Hi Marcel - so, who are you bringing in?"
"Who do you want?"
"Oh, erm, Andros Townsend is on a free, worked with him before, he's alright."
"Wow, what a coincidence, I was thinking about him too! I'll bring him in."
"Great, and Demarai Gray is-"
"WOW! He was second on my list! Consider it done!"

'kin weird.

I think it's some money laundering scheme. In real life Brands earns about 500 quid a week for pretending to be a director of football.
 
I wont be quiet until I've run him out of the club.
I really hope when he leaves:

Brands: “I couldn’t take it anymore, leaving was the only option. Perhaps davek was right? I need time for reflection, but I had to get out of there.”
