It's chicken and egg, if the underlying people and process are flawed, then any football management revamp is flawed. We'll see if Brands is different.
I am very dejected, and it seems we have problems on and off the pitch which and endemic and for which there is no easy solution, and certainly not a silver bullet.
It does not help though, that Kenwright is still in place and we have a CEO from his gene pool.
Not that they are responsible for all of our ills either, but it was and is a fundamental error that the Moshiri era did not usher in a complete and radical overhaul right at the top.
For decades there has been too many people operating in a comfort zone at Everton, with few people, and nobody with authority, brought in to offer a new perspective and new solutions.
If we had a Chairman and CEO truly worth their salt, then perhaps the flaws with Moshiri's blind obsession with Koeman and/or Silva could have been challenged.
There was talk of people of the calibre of Bryan Gilvary being appointed to the board - Chief Financial Officer at BP and a blue. There would be blood on the floor if people of his ability were allowed to scrutinise the day to day and strategic operations of the club, both business and football.
The fact people of that ilk were/are not appointed suggests to me that such scrutiny is unwelcome at Everton and instead we get Keith Harris who came, went, and added nothing.
