Everton announce new football leadership structure

You would think with all these, supposedly best at whatever they do, we would have bought a couple of signings in by now.

Do we have enough first team players for a match day squad?

Kean won't sign, DLC wont sign, Gueye won't sign, Branthwaite looking at a new contract, players already left. Maybe some of the so called board room recruits could be given player contracts, just in case dithering Davey dosn't get a move on and actually sign somebody.

But I suppose thing's are looking up, with more match day trains and buses, what can go wrong?

It's not even 1st July and some people just moan moan moan and fucking moan.
Do people not get tired of moaning and complaining.
Your poor wives
We won't sign players until after 1st July so stop going on.

The academy should be scrapped!!! what a load of nonsense.

Do people not remember Anthony Gordon!! without his sale the club would have had an even bigger PSR breach and been relegated.

Thick as mince some people on here.

Slag the club off and people can't get players names right who have been here 8 years.

The Athletic (aka New York Times) has good ear to the ground in Paddy Boland.

Paddy writes up what he knows in a very erudite article in The Athletic.

Keen eyes and ears at ToffeeWeb Towers spot a good story and try to summarize the meaty bits for our small gaggle of ardent Everton watchers.

The Echo, never slow off the bench, reads ToffeeWeb and realizes they should really be on top of the new flat white structure.

The Team at ToffeeWeb, scouring the wires for news, see an important story published in the local press, and we’re all over it! No flies on us!!!

Did I miss anything?

You've now labelled fellow Evertonians as "clueless idiots" and "thick as mince in one week for having an opinion.

We are better than that.

You need to meet some of us pre-match.

Wonder how much these FOUR jobs will cost?

Excuse my cynicism but this all seems very complicated (?) and...um...un-Moyes-like.

"..the club’s football strategy and analytics operations and player trading activity and negotiations"

And...

"..covering the medical, operations, facilities and player care departments, as well as the academy functions.”

Or...

"..I believe step-changes our analytics capability and will deliver us a long-term competitive advantage,”

Really?

Why, will other clubs not be doing all this?

Sorry but I find it very difficult to get worked up about signings who aren't players.

Wonder who'll be next...

Russell Upsome-Grubb - Squad dietician.

Duane Pipe - Assistant youth development officer.

Chris P. Baykon - Assistant to the assistant youth development officer.

Tom Orro - Youth Development Officer.

Juan Kerr - Development liaison officer.

Sawyer Ringpeece III - Head of U.S Recruitment.

Bjorn Toby Wilde - Scandinavian Recruitment Director.

Etc blah.

I am sure Moyes will manage with quality people around him. In any case he's only here for another 2 seasons. Hopefully successful club infrastructure is around for a lot longer than that.

Let's give it a chance. It won't deliver success immediately to a club currently ranked as 17th out of 20 by Transfermarkt - with a squad of only c. 10 players without question marks hanging over them - but it has a much higher chance of success than doing nothing with the operational side of the club (which has been really shit for a long time).

(ok Danny point taken)

But Eugine isn’t happy?!! Would people prefer it if we carried on in the old way? Run by mates of the chairman or people who might do a half decent job given the chance?! We all know there will be no signings until the new PSR year. Thats July 1st. Before then they’re getting serious football people with great CVs into important positions s so we’re run like an actual professional club.

But the cynicism and moaning just keeps coming. Not one of these fellers has done
Anything yet and they’re already getting slagged off?

The academy isn’t fit for purpose. Well let’s get the feller from ManUs academy. - The team that has fielded an academy player in every game they’ve played for about thirty years!!! No? Ok bad idea. Fair play.

This. FFS.

All seems the recruitment policy is ignoring the player side and creating jobs that are possibly not really needed.

Oh for the old days when the manager coaches and owner sat down and talked about what (players) would be brought in to improve the team, not how many more seats are needed in the board room.

Re mince, Chilli con carne carne be beaten.

Ryan seems to be in the unique position of winning mastermind every day and therefore feeling able to call other people idiots and thick as mince.

Ryan in a free world everybody has a right to an opinion whether you agree with it or not.

If you have a counter argument put it up but do not call fellow blues thick as mince or idiots because believe you me they are far from that.

My perspective is not a moan but a concern in that we need 6 to 10 players to achieve a reasonable competitive squad, and it will probably take 4 or 5 days per Aquisition to land them, so we don't have much time left unless we have already agreed deals which I very much doubt.

Are you suggesting that we can only sign one at a time and that we are unable to multi-task on transfers?

Fabianski do we have a number two or three?

Who did the hard yards behind the scenes was irrelevant for Moshiri.

I'm content that TFG seem to be taking a more holistic approach.

Nowt wrong with the general idea (far from it) but effectively it's just a corporate marketing slogan. I am totally not buying it.

There's always the danger of two many cooks in the kitchen.

I knew that word would irksome... (see what I did there!)

Are you merely not buying the term in general or the suggestion that this is TFG's approach?
