Tim Cahill - an Everton executive?

[Shevin Keedy]

And I had people shouting me down earlier in this thread as if he was Einstein. If he comes in good luck to him.

Yeah yeah you were saying he had a PHD in Soccernomics ffs.

Lampard will go back for Barkley

Lampard will go back for Barkley

…ooh, @Theoneandonly reincarnated.

 

[blueblueskies]

Lampard will go back for Barkley

He loaned him to Villa when he was Chelsea manager so I would put this in the very unlikely pile

 

[Harry Catterick]

Can’t see BK ever sanctioning the employment of a proper business football professional. The only time he ever did was Trevor Birch and that lasted just a few weeks

Lampard will go back for Barkley

He won't

Chinese whispers mate. Weeks course at Harvard has turned into Cahill being well educated in the field. Regardless, I think he'd do a good job based on his CV

Made the same mistake until reading up more, think he actually is doing a business degree at another university though

 

[Bob Elstone]

I think the whole jobs for the boys schtick doesnt make sense really.

Cahill has been successful on 4 different continents. He now runs a football club, and academy very successfully. He has gone to Harvard university, the top university in tbe world, and got a degree in business from there. The idea he cant improve what we currently have at board level is insulting.

I think we have to move beyond this idea that just because you have played for the club, that defines someone and makes them bad. Was Royle jobs for the boys? Or Kendall? Or Catterick?

Doing a 4 day course at Harvard isn’t a degree. It’s a paid for course. You do know these exist right?

Teaching kids in Qatar or writing a series of kids books doesn’t qualify you for an executive role.

Strange one that, he came in had a look around and walked. If I remember it was around the time of the Rooney sale he obviously wasn't impressed by something at the club. He only lasted a few days and there was never a proper explanation.

I dont know what you mean about writing a series of kids books mate.

That's not his role at Aspure academy, is it?

Tbf, what exactly is he bringing to the table besides Everton DNA?

He's a recently employed technical advisor to a small Belgian outfit.

 

[brieverton]

Definitely does point to recruitment.

But, isnt Unsworth now Academy Director or something?

Aside from players bought at 18+ the only 2 to have come through in a decade are Gordon and Davies...that has to be on someone.

Unsworth's position should have been untenable years ago. As with Ferguson, the more we go on the managerial / DOF merry-go-round, the more likely is that someone will see the obvious sooner or later.

Probably his experience with Aspire Academy, and that hes employed by very wealthy Qataris for a European team.
