2024/25 Kevin Thelwell

[GoldenToffee]

He's worked in a tough environment, but when he's had money to spend he's spaffed it up the wall.

O'Brien, Iroegbunam, Ndiaye, Gueye, Garner.

His only real dud was Maupay and he was gone within 12 months.

Beto was a desperation deal where we needed somebody with no money to put down, and his goals may have ended up keeping us up.

Isnt that Doherty - the same as who used to work for Everton? Hes at Atalanta now right?

I imagine Weir as technical director and then head scouts working for him in the recruitment role.

I just dont want this to put a massive summer back, back to recruiting latter end of the year - hoping Moyes has a huge say on whats needed to anyone new coming in.

I could imagine Rob Newman comes in to head recruitment. He worked with Moyes at West Ham I think. Maybe Weir to come in and do all the other sporting director stuff outside of recruitment.

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

Correct

Part of me is wary about this, if we go Weir and Doherty beneath him, its back to old boys club

I have no idea if they're best for the job if they are so be it - but you know the shouts be coming already about this.

?

You don't like the players he has signed?

….i’ve been posting for a long time how bad he is, I’ve even stopped posting in this thread because his supporters don’t like him being criticised.

Will enjoy a few rums tonight

Ahh ok so Rob Newman worked with Moyes at West Ham?

I think Weir is nailed on tbh - I know theyve spoken to him a few times.

Anticipate some waffle about Maupay and Thelwell leaving us short up front (with a budget of zero)

 

[ValBlue]

the stability has to be done of it to

TFG/ moyes clearly want a different look

Has it been confirmed that Moyes is on board? It’s only TFG’s choice

Jobs for the boys this fried chicken lot

….i know Mick a little, he’s a proper football lad and knows a player. Fine footballer himself. Thats the important thing.

 

[Terrarian]

If they're smart the new guy will have been identified behind the scenes and told to start planning. I'm okay with Moyes doing transfers, his track record here is excellent and he knows how to spot an Everton player.

Potentially the one working at Man City actually? International Scouting and Recruitment manager

 

[maccavennie]

Shock shock horror

Not.

I dont disagree, and I think he done good work at younger levels when previously at the club

 

[ToffeeScot]

Not surprising. It makes sense because the new owners appear to want to have a fresh start throughout the club but I think he's done a decent job overall given the parameters he's worked under. Will be thankful for some of the players he's signed like Garner, Ndiaye, Beto (), amongst others. Can leave with his head held relatively high to be fair. Think this Beto resurgence under Moyes has given him a bit of credit in the bank as he leaves. Don't think he will find it hard to get another job.

I don't know where he is now but yes Moyes was working with Rob Newman at West Ham until their German DOF came in
