It’s pretty clear he wasn’t sacked.
After the confrontation by the “fan” on Wednesday that went viral, I’m not surprised he’s decided to leave.
The problem here is somebody needs to be held accountable for these signings.
Namely:
Sigurdsson for £40m
Iwobi for £36m
Gbamin for £25m
Who made these signings???
Others such as:
Walcott £20m
Tosun £25m
Are certainly Alladyce signings. What a waste of £25m.
Koeman
£25m Klassen
The list goes on. We have squandered millions on rubbish. But please somebody identify who paid the money for the first 3 as these are really really bad
I think he should've been sacked. I think that only because he was paid compensation. Not too sure but doesn't matter because imo, Brands didn't do a good job.
The list of bad signings are longer. Moise Kean, Andre Gomes (unlucky), Yerry Mina (already had an injury record in Barca), Gbamin, Iwobi, Ben Godrey and Sidibe (thankfully is only loan). I consider them bad because the transfer fees and wages were large and have yet or did not do anything for Everton. Also, to mention the RB failure. Look at Brands' recommendations - Max Aarons (not really doing well now at Norwich), Dumfries (not doing well at Inter) and AMN (not even a RB and not playing). If he wanted a Dutch style a play, I don't see his signings actually move towards direction either.
And youth side is definitely under his watch for 3 years and nothing came out of it. Couldn't keep hold of talents like Mohamed-Ali Cho and Thiery Small, it's arguable if they are ready but they are talents nonetheless. Neither did he manage to put a stamp on a better direction for the youth academy or the football club in general.
