A couple of pieces now have mentioned Rangnick.

Ideally I'd see him as sporting director but you'd assume he would want to see out World Cup qualifying with Austria. He isn't the youngest guy either.

It could be credible also that they allow Thelwell to stay in the job and just make a manager change.
My own personal (no working out to show) 'rule of thumb' is that DoF only get booted after 3 replaced managers

You'd imagine this ownership will want their own people in situ.

I genuinely believe Thelwell will be retained.

I think under the circumstances he's done a solid job,and lets be honest the club has been an absolute circus and we probably don't know the half of what's been going on behind the scenes.

Never been a fan of the dof model but let’s be fair, with zero cash he’s made some decent signings.

The biggest thing for me was his biggest remit was to drastically reduce the wage bill while trying to keep us competitive....IE keep us in the league.

He done this with some decent signings,ok we know the Beto one hasn't worked out but on the whole he's done his job.


You can imagine his frustration a long the way when he's going for players and he literally can't move forward with the deal because we can't meet a relatively small down payment.

Thelwell can't be truly judged on some of the players brought in because Kenwright (and Moshiri) were interfering and had the final say on transfers

Maupay is an example. Maupay was all Kenwright and Moshiri. They made the decision, it is known

Everton were looking to sign Kudus at Thelwell's recommendation, but he was overruled by Kenwright and Moshiri and they opted to sign Maupay who was not the DoF's choice

Thelwell has shown he can identify players (with Iroegbunam being an example) that can add to the squad at minimal price

To properly judge Thelwell, you'd need about three years of non-interreference by Kenwright IMHO

Was the barrier with Kudus not Ajax refusing to sell after Antony went to United?

How many communists? This is an emergency 😅 Wokeness is the main threat to the survival of civilization. Woke people use wokeness as a shield to be cruel in real life. It is a declination of cultural Marxism that divides the world into oppressed and oppressors. They have a hierarchical scale that divides people into categories making wokeness the most divisive, racist, classist, anti-human, misanthropic, nefarious, hypocritical and harmful ideology for human beings. It is Marxism pushed to the most inhuman consequence. It was born at the hands of ideological Marxist professors of American colleges in the past decades and has taken over the world, becoming mainstream with the consequences we suffer every day
