If Monchi didnt seem keen he wouldn't be having talks with Everton and giving signals. If he wasn't keen we'd have moved on.

Wonder if there is any chance this could be announced tomorrow at the press conference?
Everton would manage that,no problem.We'd have heard more concrete news from the usual sources if that was the case mate. Someone like Monchi joining Everton would be huge news and would be hard to keep quiet.

We've not heard from @The Esk therefore I doubt there is anything imminent.We'd have heard more concrete news from the usual sources if that was the case mate. Someone like Monchi joining Everton would be huge news and would be hard to keep quiet.
People who come from rough backgrounds often come out stronger the other side. My ex girlfriend endured hell at home. Her mum is a manic depressant and was constantly in and out of hospital, and her dad was quite distant as he was not exactly a people person. She'd basically have to look after her 3 sisters by herself at times, even in her early teens.That's what it reminded me of too, lot to be said for those who have turbulent or difficult home lives (whether short or long term) but still put a shift in so that nobody would ever know. You'd like to think they're calling Samaritans for support though, not healthy to keep it to themselves.
On the DoF, if they're to be in charge of transfers, will we be telling Koeman to hold off until the new DoF comes in? Seems odd to let him make new signings if that'd effectively be the new guys job.

Eh Koeman, when did this happen?Yeah, they certainly kept the Koeman appointment quiet.
New Everton boss Ronald Koeman believes it is important the club appoints a sporting director.
But the Blues’ hopes of appointing Sevilla’s transfer guru Monchi appear to have all but ended.
Koeman has worked under a sporting director - also known as a director of football or technical director - throughout his managerial career and is comfortable working inside that management structure.
Everton had launched an ambitious plan to lure Monchi from Europa League winners Sevilla and were willing to pay whatever it took to land his signature.
But the Blues now fear he will only leave for Paris Saint Germain where former Sevilla boss Unai Emery is expected to head.
Billionaire investor Farhad Moshiri is keen to introduce the sporting director model at Everton and will continue his search for an appointment after sealing Koeman’s arrival this week.
