@TyrrellPaul Hi Paul, why is our home kit preorder 42 days after LFC released theirs? A club that's skint always messing up simple marketing

Paul Tyrrell @TyrrellPaul@
adbennoEFC it is not messed up. With the world's biggest sportswear manufacturer you have to take your place in the queue. With a lower level brand, you can dictate..

Paul Tyrell is the man who replaced Ian Ross as the Clubs Director of Communications

So there we have it. The most asked question in GrandOldTeams history has been answered. It's all down to our place in the queue...

Absolute disgrace that - these people actually run our club, obviously NSNO means nothing to these people especially that Kopite Tyrell

At least we know our place, thanks Nike you massive weapons.

With all due respect, how then do Dundee United and league one and two teams who's names escape me, are further ahead in the same que?

Bloody hell!

That is the attitude of the club? They should have been hounding Nike since they signed the deal to get the kits ready.

That, for me, says everything about the running of Everton.

I've had to do book orders and far bigger schools have tried to muscle in and get them before me. They didn't get far after I unloaded on the book supplier. The only way to get ahead is be an awkward so and so.

Everton are officially run by the most passive professionals in sport.

You make a valid point. Seriously, any suggestions or conspiracies as to why it's been so long?

Deloodid · July 11, 2012

Its a nice reply... what he really means.... the kids in the sweatshops never done the order fast enuff!!

Ha Ha. The Kopite speaks and Everton are put in their place.

Great recruitment, Bill.

What next, Graeme Souness as club historian? Rafael Benitez as club ambassador?

It's been answered pal? - By the Club as above.

It's down to Everton's place in the queue.

As ever dave, that's 'a bit' harsh.

Do you like ANY of the Clubs staff?

I recall you celebrating the departure of Paul Tyrells predecessor...

First three lower league teams using Nike who i searched for:

- Bradford City
- Charlton
- Crystal Palace

All of them have their home kit for sale or in the case of Bradford will have by this Friday. They also have goalie kits, which we don't.

And why is it that we can get all of the other training gear, and the away kit made, but not the home kit ? You know, the one which is the most popular because IT IS THE KIT WE WEAR AT HOME !

Shambles.
