Good to know he said Koeman already has a list of potential targets though and scouting isn't just starting now.

Everton chiefs plot Director of Football move to aid Ronald Koeman's £100m transfer spree
EVERTON chairman Bill Kenwright has confirmed he is looking to appoint a Director of Football to work with new boss Ronald Koeman.

Kenwright has always conducted transfer dealings alongside his managers but believes the time has come to change, especially with Iranian businessman Farhad Moshiri, now the club’s main share holder, pledging a £100m budget for new signings this summer.
“It’s something I wasn’t used to so I didn’t really know a lot about it because there seemed to be a lot of cross-fertilisation with my role,” he said. “But it is modern football and if you get the right one it is a big plus.
“We are talking to various first rate people who have been mentioned. What I have picked up in the last four weeks is it is an important role and, if done right, it can add to a football club. Ronald has worked with a lot of director of footballs and will embrace that as well as the Everton way. “
Kenwright revealed that he and Moshiri both installed Koeman as their No 1 choice to become Roberto Martinez’s successor. And he believes Everton fans are happy with the decision to appoint the 53-year-old Dutchman, who guided Southampton into the Europa League two seasons running.
He added: “From literally the day the decision was made [to sack Martinez], Farhad said ‘I want Ronald Koeman’ and I said ‘so do I.’ And I’ve seldom known such unanimity among supporters, especially in a fan base like ours, where you inevitably get moaners.
“It’s never easy to get rid of a manager, especially if he is a good guy as Roberto undoubtedly is, but it is a results business and they went badly for us. There was a shortlist of five in case we could not get Ronald but I have to say Southampton were very straightforward and good to deal with.”
Kenwright says that backed by Moshiri’s wealth, Everton can break into the top four under Koeman's guidance.
“Farhad has a vision for this football club. It involves the Champions League and a new stadium,” he said. “I don’t think for one second Ronald has joined us and is not thinking of Champions League. But he’s pragmatic. Has he said ‘I will get you in the Champions League?’ No. Has he said he thinks this club should be in the top four? Yes. Definitely.
“Ronald has a list of potential targets. We support managers. He knows that. We will try and give him what he wants.”

What stands out most to me is how open Bill is discussing the DoF role. That says to me that the club are very confident they will land their man, whoever that may be.

Kind of funny hearing this sort of talk of ambition and progress from Kenwright. It's almost surreal. The conversion between him and Moshiri over the Martinez sacking and targeting of Koeman would have been something else. Kenwright fretting over compensation and Moshiri just opening his cheque book. lol lol lol
I think he'd be alright as some of life president or in a capacity where he can make or be involved in announcements as he's good at it.

Everyone is jumping on Bill for his comments about cross fertilisation of his role but I just see it that he didn't completely understand what they do and let's be honest none of us really know 100% what they do.

It's a shame, for Bill to openly mention his role being diluted he is obviously concerned about his position in the club. I think he knows the writing is on the wall for any real descion making powers for him moving forward.
No doubt he will stick around as a "figurehead" but times are changing.

Why? What is this life presidency exactly and what has Bill done to deserve any such acclaim?
So we had a list of 5 for potential manager and pursued Koeman. I would assume that we also have a list of4 or 5 for DoF with Monchi our main target so who else is in the frame? Overmars has been mentioned, Leonardo ex PSG is out there somewhere, Les Reed at Southamton would appear to be settled there. So if we don't get Monchi who else should we be looking at?

There is a list somewhere mate ill dig it out, some of the sporting director names are absolutely amazing - if they are good at their job or not i have absolutely no idea.
I seen a article the other day about the RS looking at a DOF too, the names they had on there where pretty top quality aswell.
I am not even sure how we are working it at the club, so many different clubs have different ways they have them working, so totally guessing right now what the required skills would be.

We should take Southampton's DOF just to see the absolute fume.
