There is also the academy responsibilities as well. Whether it’s Brands or not, someone has to set the direction for the academy so that it links properly with the first team, and also oversee the academy playing staff requirements.

What of his other jobs looking after the finances for the stadium, advertising revenues, staff costs, club running costs, general expenses, transport costs, to name a few. Why do you dislike Brands?

He wanted to leave and not stay.

I'd argue that we have actually only spent £47 mill on replacing him. Gbamin was obviously his replacement but has been unbelievably unfortunate/badly managed. Delph was brought in to cover the position/other roles but not as a replacement for him. And Allan is the new 'replacement for him as they couldn't wait for Gbamin and knew we needed the place filled.
The Duke is not his replacement and is an entirely different sort of player who would play alongside.
...reading an article this morning saying Brands is keen to stay but Moshiri is still considering whether to offer a new contract this summer. Interesting.

Brands' future in Moshiri's hands
Marcel Brands wants to continue in his director of football role at Everton, but owner Farhad Moshiri is yet to take a call on him, according to a report.
The Dutchman, who arrived at Goodison Park in 2018, is out of contract in the summer and for the moment the Athletic says, the two sides have not agreed on extending his stay.
The 58-year-old is happy on Merseyside and wants to stay but it is now down to Everton’s owner Mr Moshiri and for the moment, he has not decided on whether to keep Brands in his current role.
The Blues supremo is unlikely to be rushed and the decision could even be delayed until the summer.
Surely begs the question then - who does Moshiri potentially have lined up to replace him? given the timing I don't like the sound of this at all.
.
Issue with him not renewing is 1. Who's next, and 2. What does that mean for the continuation of anything he's started in the last 2 years?
If we bring a new DoF in who starts with his own ideas we go all the way back to Day 1 again.

Being completely honest - when you look at what he's spent if you was Moshiri and that was your money would you say its been well spent?
He redeemed himself somewhat this summer (although James and Allan are only here because of Carlo) however when you look at the signings the likes of Leicester and to a lesser extent teams like West Ham under Moyes & Southampton have made for less dough you cant say he would be a big miss.
Im not fussed if he stays or goes but I can see why Moshiri has reservations when you think of the dough spunked on Gomes, Delph, Iwobi, Kean, Gbamin then big wages for Bernard etc.

As Nymz says though we'll invariably be sent back to square one if he doesn't renew. Really concerned about this personally.

Tbh i agree, i'm not his biggest fan by any stretch but to go back to square one now is just madness and it would start giving me some serious concerns about Moshiri. I do wonder sometimes if his close friendship with Joorabchin is such a good thing, have listened to Kia a few times and he has some very odd views on football.

I’m still onboard with Brands think it would be stupid to start again. The biggest problem with modern day football is their is so much at stake everyone wants instant success. He was brought in as a key role in the ‘project’ so let him see it out. At least until the end of next season when almost every player will be what Carlo wants/needs and the garbage players he was left with will all be gone

Is he back off Furlough yet?.
to be fair, he took over a situation that does not allow too much room for mistake. His path had been narrow in terms of pushing out deadwood and signing wonderkid out of nowhere.
if we had him on board at the start instead of Walsh, things will be completely different, at least much more room to be adventurous and less burden with deadwood.
My only criticism of him, didn’t exploit the South American market enough, loads of talented Brazilian kid he should at least look at some.

Another player out on loan, that’s three now, Brands hard at it.
