i wonder if he has been groomed by a club

Interesting

Wonder if he walked before he was pushed? interesting that this comes out now as it's sounding like Thelwell is starting to do bits behind the scenes.

I like the fella, but this was long overdue.

But who will hold back the development of our youth players to further their collection of meaningless trophies now?

im surprised it’s taken so long in all honesty

Done an underrated job. Very difficult to compete with other academies in the North West. I doubt loads of players are coming to start flowing through to the first team now that he has left like some people seem to suggest.

He wasn't as bad as some made out but he was still bad towards the end. God knows where he ends up but I wouldn't be against loaning him some players

With Nicholson coming in I suspect hes pretty much been sacked.
they’ve worded it differently of course….

So is that two roles gone then u23 manager and director of Academy right?

Two pretty big roles to fill for us moving forward

“Look, David. We just think it’s about time you got a real job.”

Bye bye! Good blue but crap at his job and long overdue, protected by his bird.

Hopefully signs that Everton are doing things properly now.

Who was the director of the academy? Joe Waldron ?

I am happy he has gone, I don’t doubt he loves the club but I think he has fallen into a trap of thinking the ultimate goal is to win youth competitions or do well at youth level.

Personally, I couldn’t care less if we never win a youth trophy again if the first team has a set of players who can play in the same manner as the first team so they can slot in if needed. Let’s face it, our injury history suggests we need a solid backup of youth players who can slot in at a moments notice.
