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

First time I've heard of that organisation, and it sounds dodgy.

I have no problem with Cahill, but it looks a typical BS Everton *solution* to a problem: bring a blue home.

I'd like to know what the benefits EXACTLY are to his employment at Everton, if that's what happens.

Aspire Academy are a very well known organisation mate.

His work their is credited with helping to turn around the fortunes of the Qatar National team. He is very well spoke about.

If he wasn't an Evertonian, I can't see any world where he leaves his current employment to come to us.

As for the benefits of his employment would be that he's levels above Sharp, Kenwright and Baxendale when it comes to business and running an organisation.

With limitless Qatari cash.
 

Do we even know what the role is (possibly is) at Everton? If not, it's bit hard to tell how qualified/suited he is for it.

Hes DOF at one, and sort of a CEO type role at the other. Not sure what his specific day looks like though mate.

Seems that he's Chief Sports Officer at Aspire Zone but, within the Aspire Group (Academy and Zone), looks like there's; a Director of Football Performance & Science, a Director of Sport & Strategy, and a Technical Director of Football (as well as at least 2 more senior execs) who all appear to sit above him.

He's on the Board of Directors at K.A.S Eupen (who are owned by Qatar) but doesn't look to be an executive role, so wouldn't be CEO type work.

As an Aussie & Everton supporter, I love the guy but I'm not seeing anything that suggests he's ready to take the reins in a major way.

If anything, I hope Cahill's own history and the connection with K.A.S Eupen helps get our youth players out on loans. I'm not a fan of how long they spend playing in the u18's & 23's, they need senior game time to push on.
 
Guys got an MBA from Harvard (IIRC), so he’s got a level of business acumen. He’s also got good connections in football and has been in similar level roles. He clearly gives one about us, and let’s face it the last guy ticked all the boxes and failed, so maybe “he’s not been in the job before” isn’t a fail safe metric for success.

He’s had nothing to do with the turnaround of the national team. That’s been a long term project and turned them into Asian champions before Cahill even moved to Qatar.

I’d be shocked if he didn’t jump at an opportunity to work with Everton as a technical director or in that type of role.

Would be a great addition IMO even if he can’t be credited with turning Qatari football around.
