2024/25 Kevin Thelwell

[Billy Dean]

Was this not the exact same mentality with Dyche?

It’s different roles. The DOF is not going to have an immediate short term effect on the first team

Will cause much more long term damage though

I'm not so sure. With Moyes track record of spotting a player Everton would be stupid not to tap into that

Let Moyes identify the talent and Thelwell does the deal.

He can then have a few months off before his contract comes to an end and Moyes then gets who he wants in ( or preferably does the role himself with a younger manager brought in - probably an unlikely dream)

I just don't see the point in him. If Moyes is identifying the player he can also do the deal. Its not like he's never done it before and as you said it'd be ideal if he moves upstairs.

A liverpool fan with 6 months left on his deal should not be doing our negotiations. Especially one that's drove such hard bargains as Beto and Maupay.

Its human nature that he will have one eye on himself and its likely his next job is at our competitors. Either get the new man in or hand all responsibilities over to moyes because after the Dyche giving up debacle we can't continue assuming everyone is going to act in good faith.

Are we treating the Davie Weir rumours with any credence ?

No sightings as yet, the Moyes is back in town tho.

 

[Connor]

How do you mean mate?

Zero quotes from him on the club site, which never happens

I hadn’t thought about that!

 

[Bebeto]

Looks like this guy is still very much pulling the strings...first moyes, then nuamah...wouldn't be surprised he gets a new contract which would be a very costly mistake. He needs to go now before we sign any new players. We can't afford to get the wrong signings in January with the relegation fight being a close one.

How good has Moyes been at identifying players since he left Everton?

 

[Bob Elstone]

The most useless director of football - wouldn’t know a goalscorer if it landed on his massive conk.

He won't be here next season I suspect and if Moyes smells a rat Thelwell will be out the door PDQ.

TFG are all in on Moyes for now

I read that completely wrong....

Jarrad bowen was an excellent spot for west ham.

 

[windymiller]

Let Moyes decides on the transfers.

Then don't appoint a DoF. We can't keep doing this stupid crap of having two people who apparently have the same job and blame each other when it goes wrong.
