Yeah, that's a farce.
"Why are you giving him a contract?" "He loves Everton" "Oh sound then"
It's like it's Bill and 2007 all over again.
Edit: My last few posts have been attacking the Irish, I would like to state this is a coincidence and I am absolutely not a tory. Thank you.

He's mostly there to instil an understanding of the club and culture to the 9/10 new players we need to sign.
Makes sense to me.
Can he not do that as a coach like?

Yeah, it's fine to be fair, you need someone around who gets the club especially during a period of huge change.

I think basically he will be a quasi-coach role, where he's an intermediary between the manager and the players, and if he's ever needed to play 2/3 games a season because of an injury crisis he's always there.

He'll probably have a dual role anyway, player coach type thing and I would think his wages will be closer to a coaches than an average premier league player.

It really depends what we are paying him. It's good to have him around but that only has so much value

Always exceptions to the rule.
Not bothered at all by this.
But yeah, sign a decent RB (hopefully Tete, at least for now)

Would that be the Phil Neville role, manager's grass? I couldn't imagine Seamus Coleman being a grass.

Someone posted on Twitter he bumped into him at the Jota memorial on Friday night, 11:30, laying flowers and having a read of the tributes.
When asked why he was there so late he said he wanted to pay his respects without the fuss of the cameras, etc.

I seen this myself, and thought it was nice of the guy to then make a fuss of it on social media. Something Coleman didn't want.
