Angus Kinnear

[Lazarou II]

He'll be the fall guy but I think you need to look higher up.

[NickNack]

Two windows eh Angus? Go fuck yourself

You can only judge a CEO and the recruitment team on their results, and the results have ultimately been an unmitigated disaster.

I thought about a week ago we were in a strong position to have a good window. We'd brought in some young talent earlier in the window, we had a really good range of options in central midfield. We had a nice collection of wide players offering different things. Our striker is showing significant improvement, and there was a good opportunity to upgrade the backup striker.

So all we really needed in the last week was a good striker to replace Beto, a quality RB, and if Aznou was going to go out on loan, some good competition at LB, possibly also on loan. If we could move players like Patterson and Tim on for a bit of money, great.

Since then we all but sold our best young player for a forgettable fee to a nothing club and completely alienated the entire fanbase. Pretty much the only thing that has totally united the entire Everton fanbase in decades btw! We then sold our best attacking player and replaced him with an admittedly good player on loan, but one who destabilises the balance of our wide players and pushes one of our other best young talents (George) out of his natural position. We then sold our only backup striker before we had the replacement through the door, and that then fell through due to probable incompetence on our part. We signed a somewhat unremarkable RB that we could've signed at any point in the last 2 years for a similar fee who makes no real difference to the quality of the team, and we don't have a single backup left back in the squad.

We can barely field a full bench for Premier League games, without promoting youth players.

No doubt Moyes hasn't helped in some of the transfer dealings, because he's probably rejected dozens and dozens of players that have been suggested to him over the summer, but the recruitment team have ended up doing such an appalling job that people who don't even like Moyes will probably be somewhat sympathetic to him now.

Kinnear and his entire recruitment team need to be clearing their desks with immediate effect. Professional negligence to an almost comical extent.

[Cozzie]

Correct.

He needs to be hounded out with the rest of them.

This will be a big test to see if the Friedkins are arsed.

It's been an absolute disastrous "2 season window" and the squad is comfortably worse off.

I don't even want to hear from him, he's failed, they all have.

[777Kidnappings]

Only judging him on results is incredibly kind. We had some near misses that would have been disasters too ..


His line about rather being incompetent than unambitious is a million times better/worse than his 1 about being disappointedly satisifed or whatever nonsense it was. Hes parodying at this point

[dazfrancis]

Serious changes needed to recruitment at the club, starting with this charlatan. He has a touch of the Moshiri's about him. With his public statements. It feels like he is way too involved in the recruitment process

The committee format is an obvious case of too many cooks, they also gave a manager with 12 months left on his contract the power to veto every transfer. They know what Moyes is like, they knew what his priorities would be.

And it now seems that our hands off owners also like to get involved in the transfers.

It needs a complete overhaul at the top. But I assume he is the Friedkins guy so he is going to stay in place for the foreseeable

[Indiantoffee75]

To think people believed what came out this fellas mouth.

Dodgy as fuck from the moment he was appointed

Car salesman.

[Audrey Horne]

See ya, fucking cunt

[Granite]

Doubt he’s going anywhere unless he resigns.

Anyone worth employing will already be at a club and hiring non-playing staff can be more complicated than players. Long notice periods etc.

It took the club 18 months to assemble this recruitment team so can’t see TFG dismantling it.

[AjaxAndy]

Needs to be a full forensic analysis by the club as to why and how we've ended up in this position.

We clearly waited all summer for a big Ndaiye bid and when it didn't materialise we scrambled around in desperation at the end of the window to balance he books, whilst also then failing to fully strengthen using what spare money we could take from the Ndaiye transfer.

Something has clearly gone wrong, and whilst I agree with waiting for the right bid before selling a player, ultimately the lateness of it, and the fact we had to accept unfavorable terms, and the knock on of failing to sign Balogun shows it was a gamble that didn't pay off.

[TheRam]

Maybe leaving things late in the window isn’t the best strategy?

[superpull]

He wasn't even ambitious when it comes down to it

[AjaxAndy]

Maybe leaving things late in the window isn’t the best strategy?

100%. We gambled on a huge Ndaiye fee knowing full well we not only needed it to comply with SCR but also to strengthen in any meaningful way.

It didn't happen, we waited too long, sold for less and left no time to pivot when our main purchase failed his medical.

It's bad, very very bad

[NickNack]

Has he gone yet?

[Cozzie]

70% of business is done in the last week of the window, remember this lads.

He'll leave a legacy of absolutely nonsensical quotes as he decimates our squad.

Honestly, just when you think you've seen it all.
