Kevin Thelwell - New Director of Football

[AsiaAsia82]

….shuffling the coaches might not suffice if the real problem is lack of talent coming into the club. Recruitment could be the issue and i accept there isn’t the quality reservoir there once was.

I’d like to see us get a genuine foothold in the S American & African youth markets, I’d see that as a really positive initiative.

Best way with our current financial woes.
Glad you didn’t say that in the Bramley Moore thread though….

Looking at the recruitment again, Moura for Richarlison and a paltry around, and scouting done from MOTD then we can’t waste any more time and chase this kopite charlatan OUT.

I agree on getting more for Richie my son but how having a chicken or turkey will help us Lord knows!

God bless.

My finger and thumbs are possessed this morning Mr TW, please send help.

Of course.

As you probably kniow, I'm not the biggest critic of David Unsworth, but it looks like Thelwell is splitting roles, habing clear liens of accountability and modernising the academy, away from a structure where the Under 23's manager did everything.

It looks like we are going to be getting the head of recruitment for Wigan, who had done an excellent job there in punching above his weight. The Academy directory from Wolves is here too, another who probably punched above his weight. There does at least appear to be some thought going into it.

I also happen to think the north American market could be a strong area for us. I think the USA will start producing more players.

Ask Matt Law, he’s the only one running with it

Koff Matt Law. Trying to lower our status as a club.

All of our hopes and dreams fall with this ‘man’.

Red scarf there should be a giveaway.

Red scarf there should be a giveaway.

Don’t do it Kevin.

 

[Cameron Manning]

I’m going to name my new dog after him. He’s the messiah. Believe in the hype lad

Who’s the messiah, Thelwell or your new dog?

Of course.

…absolutely.

Head of Recruitment appointment suggests to me that Thelwell will be a Line Manager and Co-ordinator, rather than a talent spotter. The transfer record of the HoR might what we need to consider, perhaps he should be the one with the office next door to Lampard.

i don’t mind the set-up at all, at least we appear to be moving away from different individuals bringing in their own players. I can see Lampard and Thelwell working closely with HoR, with the DoF having the final say.

Who is the bloke at Wigan?

Deffo last pick him when you used to pick footy teams with ye mates.

Is it too early to state that Thelwell has failed Everton and MUST be removed?
