New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Lob]

was the DOF job of recruitment and the academy?

Yes mate.

 

[Lob]

The only way it works is if the manager works for the DoF. I don't think that was ever the case here.

Don't think it would have worked for us no matter who was in charge tbh mate. Unless both the Manager and the DOF are completely aligned with football philosophy, direction and understanding you end up with the wrong type of players being bought, players not being played and ultimately a group of players that just don't work very well together. Don't think we ever had a matched footballing philosophy with any of our DOF's and Managers which was the point that i was making. Moshiri would never have even gave that a thought when hiring people. Carlo, Allardyce and Benitez for example.

I don't think anyone really knew who was in charge, which is really the issue.

As you said it was leaked. And mentioend a while back by Bobbles mate (I know).

I'm saying this is the only legitimate leak, i.e., the other links are made up out of whole cloth and the team's real targets are pretty much unknown.

Don't even think the person in charge knew they were in charge.

BTW, that tower nonsense needs binning. What a 'kin palaver that is. It looks like nothing at all other than an oblong that's gone drastically wrong.

A little bit about the tower and crest here, from 13.54 :

The conclusion I draw to all that is that we shouldn't be afraid of creating a new image / identity...because that's what Theo Kelly essentially did in 1938: jibbed one staid logo the club had and invented (or co-opted the image of) something else entirely and made that new identity stick.

We have that chance now at this new stadium but some people who are hide-bound to the past want to stick with the identity created in the 1930s.

It's all invented tradition. Time we created another identity.

I agree, but you just know the moaning would be off the roof.

We tried that and it went down like a fart in a lift.

You'd think it would be pretty easy to come up with that using AI nowadays - I wonder how much we paid for that travesty ?

Isn't that our Premier League record points total badge?

That's not a break with the past.

How about leaving the tower stuff behind and having a ship on the new badge?

After all, we're on the river now and z-cars is the tune of the sea shanty the Johnny Todd.

The last time Everton played in Everton was...erm...never, so why have we git that beacon on the badge?

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Our badge isn't complicated enough....
