The tenure of Steve " He discovered a 30 year old Zola " Walsh came to an end in May of 2018.
He was replaced in June by Marcel Brands who had a succesful spell of the DOF role at PSV. At the time of joining Everton had just finished 8th in the league.
Armed with an open cheque book and a new manager in Marco Silva, the aim was to progress Everton back up the league and qualification for Europe.
As expected, we as fans got excited ( Just like when Steve Walsh joined ) and hyped him up so much he became Marcel " He takes what he wants " Brands after the signing of Moise Kean. He would in 2019 be promoted to the board at Everton.
Lets have a look at his signings and fees paid.

One of his success stories of his time at Everton was to get the club to sign off on making a documentary about him and to pay his ex colleagues and friends to speak about him.
As one of his Dutch friends said at the end of the Documentary " We need to have patience with him, let him build a system so he leaves something behind "
Well in December 2021 he left after 3 years and 6 months in the role. Position wise he took over the club that finished in 8th and he left with the club on the edge of the relegation zone. He also left us with a wages to turnover ratio of 95%.
Please discuss what you think about his time at the club.
For me he was just a Dutch Steve Walsh who also thought he was a part time model for TK Maxx.
