2019/20 Marcel Brands

As good an appointment Ancelotti is, there's now no point in Brands.

He's a waste of resources.

He had no input on hiring the manager as we were led to believe he would have. His signings are generally poor and a manager of the calibre of Carlo isn't going to want to listen to some two bit Dutch Middle man when it comes to players he wants.

Might as well get rid.

Fair, but I don't know what him being Dutch has to do with it.

I really doubt Ancelotti wants to be negotiating new signings and contracts, chief scout, and leading our youth set up.

The idea Brands cant work with Ancelotti is a complete load of rubbish.

But I thought Brands wasn't involved in bringing him to the club? @davek

I didn't read anything in that which made me think Brands had identified Ancelotti and was the prime mover in bringing him to Everton. That's because he wasn't.

Brands is now reacting to events, not shaping them.

He's now, to all intents and purposes, useless.

Ancelotti would identify a type of player and may even pass a name...

Brands then goes over the analysis with the scouting team and gives a list of players to the manager which they discuss and put into order.

Brands then goes after the targets in order of priority.

How do you know that this is the process, mate? Just curious....

Yes your right, I mean Carlos career has been a car crash over the also 20 years without someone like Brands hasn't it?

The man had managed some if the biggest clubs on the planet. He doesn't need Marcel Brands.

Our best players are Digne Richarlison Gomes and Sidibe. Brands bought all of them....

That article does say that Brands did a powerpoint for Mr Ancelotti to be fair.
