New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Hellerad]

I forgot about the 120 point plan. Did we ever succeed with just one of those points ?

We lost 8 along the way

It's very disconcerting watching us seemingly being run like a professional outfit with a modicum of ambition.



Oh look... like clockwork.

That's yet to be proved isn't it?

How in the world would you know, based on what experience?

Football clubs are simple things to run: you get a manager who knows what they're doing and you get out of their way. Let him decide who's bought, how they train and how they play.

You dont need departments of pencil pushing no marks to do that.

This convoluted hierarchy is more worrying than it is a source for hope.

This is a very dated format though. In the old days there was less emphasis on the money side. Now you need to consider profitability. Teams are looking not only at team performance, but also developing talent that they can make money on. Gotta roll with the times.

Sure I did that plan with Weightwatchers

“Hammond spent more than two years with the Baggies between 2016 and 2018, before being sacked with the club on the brink of relegation from the Premier League.

Previously director of football at Reading, Hammond took most of the flak for the disastrous appointment of Alan Pardew in November, 2017, following Tony Pulis’ departure as head coach.”
“It was also on Hammond’s watch that Albion splashed out more than £40million on a spending splurge in the summer before their 2018 relegation.”

Former West Brom chief lands Everton role

Former Albion technical director Nick Hammond has landed a new job at Everton as part of the Premier League club’s off-field restructure.

We "rolled with the times" getting a DoF in...

Scouts / coaches / managers.

The rest is a distraction.

I fully expect 'The Everton Football Operation Team' to be getting chased down the road with the first onfield crisis.

FFS, we haven't even seen these yanks but they impose the groaning weight of about 6 'exceptional operators' on us - th funniest bit though is that half our fans are dutifully on board with it.

A few years ago we'd all have been howling with laughter about this sort of shake up.

I for one am intrigued to see how the new structure works to be honest, all appointments seem to have the required knowledge and expertise which is a start. Lets be honest we’ve had three Directors of Football and none of them were particularly successful (Thelwell probably the best of the bunch but him ending up at Rangers speaks volumes tbh).

 

[Librarian]

Man Utd have a similar structure I think
Just saying…

 

[Drico]

These fellas will be judged on acquisitions - and then on-field results.

The last thing I'll be doing is getting excited at some back-office appointments. I want to see front-of-house soccer superstars hoisting the scarf in front of the Gwladys Street loge seats before I get tumescent with anticipation. Right now, it feels as if the women's team is more of a priority.

Mate dont you get bored of moaning about absolutely everything?

Its similar to Twitter.

Seen the chap here post the below and I asked him for his opinion,He was less than complementary.

He will be doing the negotiations on deals mate as opposed to picking players,

That’s running a football team not a football club

...a few years ago we hadn't fallen out of grace of the EPL hierachy quicker than Prince Andrew, hadnt set records for most points deducted and hadnt appointed a spanish waiter as our manager...a lot has changed in a few years...

No, on both counts
