Think this is what people are missing, context.

Nobody is saying we’ve signed good players really, just that arguably he’s made good signings in the circumstances.

The fact we’re still somehow in the league despite being comfortably the lowest net spenders in the last 5 years attests to that somewhat.
 
The problem Moyes is that we need a striker now, who is Premier League ready, just to help get us over the line until the end of the season.

That`s not going to be anyone under 25, it`s going to be someone who`s coming to the end of their career / isn`t really getting a look in at their current club or their contract is up this Summer.

Welcome Danny Ings :lol:
Yet Moyes will be called a ditherer even though Thelwell should have been looking since the summer for a striker.
DCL’s contract is running out and they have trying to sell Beto since the summer.
What was the plan?

Does this look like the picture of a man who has a plan?
 

This will be the best job he’ll ever get. Promoted way above his pay grade and will disappear into obscurity same as the likes of Elstone, Walsh, DBB, Wyness etc.
I don’t think he’s done an exceptional job or anything but he’s by and large done well in the circumstances and he’s managed to clear decks well.

The real test is now, can he build a competitive team, with funds, in the summer.

I’m skeptical too but I think he deserves the chance.

I agree with you. But this window has been very poor. I know that there has been turmoil over changing ownership and a new manager but he surely should have had some targets lined up. Maybe he does but it just feels like (if we get anyone) it’s just panic buying now.
 
…he left us 7 games into a season with no striker when he first came and then bought Maupay. Needless to say we struggled for a central striker all season with DCL injured lots.

At a guesstimate, how many times do you think multiple posters have told you that Thelwell was not involved in signing Maupay?

More or less than 50?

If footballs shown me anything its that it's incredibly easy to fall upwards from an Everton job. He'll con another team into a job

Whilst I agree with you on this Zat the problem is that the DoF is supposed to be in control of the footballing operations within a club, a manager/head coach is technically beneath them in the hierarchy. I don't see any DoF worth their salt taking orders from a manager or letting others interfere with their plan otherwise it doesn't work, the ones that do just look like they are in it for the money. Look at Ashworth for example, he didn't take to the INEOS plan at Utd and they were not overly keen on what he was suggesting either so they parted ways instead of sitting it out.

Everton Director of Football Kevin Thelwell added: “Neal is a player who has proven himself in the Premier League over the past three seasons and he is hungry to hit the ground running with Everton.

“We believe he will add an extra dimension to our attack and complements the existing players we have at the top end of the pitch."



I only need to hear it once from his mouth.

60m on Beto, Maupay and Chermo, plus another 20m on wages.

Gross misconduct.
 
Because loans are stop gaps or players to take a try before you buy. Look at how bad some of Moyes' loans were for us...
I guess but the loans have been pretty rubbish, 2 seasons to check out Harrison, Broja glass legs, El Ghazi (was he just before Kev joined us ?), Vinagre and Danjuma the invisible men
