Thelwell talking strategy

Do you not agree that Branthwaites market value is at least £60million and that nobody was willing to pay anywhere near that ?

Yes and I think we would have got 60m had we encouraged bidders but in reality I really don't know.

We had 5 players at RB because they give two underpar RBs new contracts last summer... Neither of which would have been low wages.

Coleman and Young should have been moved on for us to get a proper RB even if it was a loan with a view to Patterson taking over long term.

RB will be sorted soon, Patto in the 21s tomorrow, will pass with flying colours then straight into the eleven

Going by what Dyche said last week about him and Branthwaite I doubt we'll see him before the international break, then probably sat on the bench at Ipswich watching Ashley Young getting done all ends up before coming on and getting another 3 minutes of development in stoppage time.

Nailed on to get injured for Scotland then.

Fuck me I hope not. I like this lad. I think he’s a footballer, just not had a chance of a career yet. Hardly any miles on the clock. Still time to come good.

He'll be fine, he won't be in the squad.

Good. This break could work in his favour then.

Take Ashley Young out the squad and we leap up into a European spot.

Out of contact in the summer, so expecting some proper ass kissing in that article

Here's the article and technically requires a subscription to read - it's absolutely massive so I won't copy and paste it here, but anyone interested can easily do the same:

Echoes here however of that infamous Kenwright quote...

A few weeks ago, Thelwell was presenting at a conference of fellow sporting directors.

After he had spoken in depth about Everton’s behind-the-scenes restructure, he had a tap on the shoulder from someone working for one of the Premier League’s elite clubs. “You’ve got a better process, vision and strategy than we have,” they told him. “It’s just that you’re near the bottom of the league and we’re near the top.”

The name of the club and individual is withheld for obvious reasons but the anecdote is revealing.

He will be a big loss if he goes has done a very good job under trying circumstances would be nice to see him get a new owner and stadium and hopefully coach to work with

Has he?? Such as?? The only thing we really know of is the signings and they've been shocking

He got loads of guys out the door who were on big wages which you were moaning about for ages and brought in more good than average players imo a couple of misses but not at huge costs like before he is operating with one hand tied so I think he is doing well
