Everton Announce Leadership Changes

[peteblue]

Talk about bloated. It's a football club, how many directors do we need?

They missed a trick really, Director is now quite old hat in terms of executive responsibility. As we have a CEO and not a Managing Director then using titles such as Executive Vice President or just Vice President would have shown a more Global approach.......

Was really hoping for experienced external appointments to bring fresh ideas. I dare say that some of the 'promotions' are deserved, but it does just feel as though it's mainly the same old team with fancy new titles (and no doubt increased salaries)

I cant see how any promotions are deserved when the club has failed miserably in all aspects at board room level for over 25 years.

Being successful only impacts how much of their discretionary annual bonus they get, promotions and pay rises aren't based on that....

Not sure titles and structures make much of a difference...it is the calibre of the person doing the work that counts most.
Is there any reason to think the people are any good at what they are now being asked to do?

Difficult to know if this reorganisation will make any difference, but at least it does appear as if the management is being organised in a professional manner into clearly defined areas where it will be possible to assess the performance of each.

Everton FC is a big business and has to be run professionally... time will tell if this helps.

Four pages and not one mention of this Kim bird, who is she, anyone got any pics

Didn't know he's been with us since 1995, Fair play to the lad.

So basically, he joined and we've won nothing since. I think we finally have the scapegoat we've been waiting for.

here they are on the first day

Nah mate that's the Tory cabinet.......

Anybody else think Denise Barrett-Baxendale look strangely like Gerri Haloiwell?

But, with less work done.

Bloody hell, there is more than a whiff of people dictating their own titles in that list.

Reminds me of working at Tesco as a student - there was a title for everybody - provisional deputy assistant part-time stock controller etc.

It sounds very top heavy. What on earth is a director of football strategy - isn’t that Marco Silva?

What I find surprising is that some of these roles have not been left to Brands to fill, notably that football strategy one. He can’t have been in on every appointment as well as Silva’s.

On a slightly more serious note, I hope this is a sign of Denise stamping her personal authority, that she possesses in spades, at the club.

We desperately need all of these people to be given targets and held accountable for delivery.

With the exception of one (who was employed locally in football) - arent they all existing or previous club employees?

 

[Neiler]

I don’t see it as much of a restructuring to be honest, just people changing jobs or changes of titles.

Disappointed as massive improvement is needed in many of those key positions and good governance needs establishing.

I was more hoping that she will start to hold them to account really. I have never met the woman but just hear anecdotes that she is rather a determined lady, I hope she is.
