Marcel Brands

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

….be nice if he now dishes the dirt & tells us exactly what’s been going on. Only way we’ll find out I expect.

Part of his payout will be an NDA, we will hear nothing. If not, he will want other work and ‘telling all’ will ensure he doesn’t get offers again.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Well it gets rid of a completely useless 'Director of Football', so.... it fixes that?

No because you can replace him with someone equally as useless or you can continue to give each manager too much say making the next guy as handcuffed or you can just let managers do it all which kills any chance of continuity when managers leave. So it fixes nothing yet.

I`m also seeing DBB looking at alternative employment...

Time for the club to get real and get world class people in these positions.

Iwobi was unforgiveable.

Why do you think I changed my name? I was done with the fella a long time ago, I do think he was unlucky with Gmblammo tho, but he wasnt in isolation.

Hes failed, an utter farce he was retained for another 3 years, rewarding failure, Everton that.

How much do you want for your Hugo Boss suit and ripped knee skinny leg jeans?

 

[allen]

No he was sacked. He went back to Holland after the match and was summoned back on Friday.

Forgive me if I don’t believe a word you type.

 

[Clarky cat]

I’m hearing that Stuart Barlow is already having an interview to replace him after being personally contacted by Uncle Bill.

 

[kenada_blue]

Does it?

Or does it show he’s finally getting pressure on the media, so he’s got to show he’s listening.

Glad brands has gone, but he’s the only one who didn’t want Benitez.

The rest remain on the board.

He did it to Koeman and Walsh after their failure.

Admit there's been pressure to make the changes but you can't say he's not listening.

Didn't Brands want Nuno as an offer was tabled to him?

 

[Davidoff]

Failed to impress any kind of strategy within the club. Probably had no chance to do that, given the fragmented power bases that seem to exist behind the scenes. Worrying times indeed

 

[Milkman]

Best thing all round is to now scrap that Director of Football role.

It wont take at this club. It's alien.

Surely it's got to be the end of this disaster. Knowing Moshiri though, he'll be on the phone to the someone from his washed-up big name contacts list.

 

[JLW]

Let’s not stop at Brands.

I see people saying it doesn’t change a thing!
Well not today or tomorrow it won’t but in the summer and beyond it will.

Next up Benitez

Then Bill

Then DBB

He rocked those sleeveless cardis like nobody ever before.

 

[barneygumble]

Shows how fickle and kneejerk the board/Moshiri is though doesn't it?

A whiff of discontent and the Director of Football who was given a 3 year gig in April and suddenly, bang. Change.

People queried and doubted if any discontent towards the board would have any influence - well here is your answer.

If my view, the pressure has to keep on. Moshiri simply can not allow this failing board to continue.

Correct mate.

As soon as the pressure came, he did what people think he needed to do.

Same with Martinez, Silva, Koeman.

It’s farcical. The fella had his hands tied, and didn’t have full reign to do his job efficiently.

Of all the people who could’ve been sacked, Brands will mostly be the one whos impact will be felt the least.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Signed Gomes, Gbamin, Delph, Iwobi, Kean

Never replaced Gana
Never replaced Zouma
Went into last season without replacing Kean and Walcott
Not replaced Coleman in over 3 years.
Currently got 1x RB and 1x LB in the squad

A disaster of a DOF - thank heavens he's gone and hopefully Kenwright and DBB follows him.

I’m hearing that Stuart Barlow is already having an interview to replace him after being personally contacted by Uncle Bill.

May as well be Gary Barlow for all the good it will do us.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Whatever his abilities (I have absolutely no idea on that, much like everyone else on here) it’s pretty clear that he’s never been able to conduct his role in the way a DoF needs to in order for the system to have any chance whatsoever of success.

He could be the best thing since sliced bread, he could be useless. We’ll never know.
