Thelwell was under pressure after signing Chermiti… who is stealing a living by pretending to be a footballer.
The final nail in the coffin appears to be the appointment of his son as chief scout… jobs for the fam/boys.
How auld big hooter lasted so long at Everton I do not know.
….he was already being criticised for the calamitous summer signings before Chermiti arrived.
He was treading water here. The new owners knew about him & let him see out his contract without him being involved, he was on gardening leave.
He took Dan Purdy there when TFG were happy for him to stay on, will be interesting to see whether he stays especially if he was identifying the players.….he was already being criticised for the calamitous summer signings before Chermiti arrived.
He was treading water here. The new owners knew about him & let him see out his contract without him being involved, he was on gardening leave. The two Chermiti deals seem odd, makes you wonder.
At least there was a couple of us on here who knew.

I saw criticism from some fans, others defended him. The local media from what I read and heard barely put him under any scrutiny at all especially the Echo who seemed keen to portray him as some kind of lost entity fighting against the odds.
He didn’t get that at Rangers from day one which I think is telling.
…..there was only a couple of us on here who knew, much to the rancour of most. Our new owners knew & it didn’t take the Rangers fans and their new owners long to suss him out;
‘Rangers have since been subject of a takeover from a US-based consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh, who has appointed director Fraser Thornton as interim chief executive while replacements are found.
"We've now had six months since we became part of Rangers to assess the club's needs as well as to get to know Patrick and Kev a bit more," chairman Cavenagh said in a club statement.
"And, simply put, when we think about what we need in both a CEO and sporting director today, it's different than who we think Patrick and Kev are.
"We want people that align with the vision for the next chapter."
He’s not solely to blame for issues here but it was clear he was a problem. It felt like more of a fluke he got a signing right to be honest.
He even had the nerve to say when asked about the left back position that Dwight McNeil can play there.
Why people persist with defending glaring issues is beyond me. If it’s not executives or directors it’s mediocre players.
Fair enough if that’s how some get their kicks or they have some personal benefit to not being honest, that’s their choice. It was striking the difference in how their supporters and even media would react compared to ours though and he was here over two years.
….it’ll come out in the wash one day, possibly from Moyes and Dyche but there was a reason so many were turning down the Rangers job.
