Everton offer Molly McCann chance to speak to squad ahead of new season
Mixed martial arts star Molly McCann has been offered the chance to talk to the Everton squad after conversations with Frank Lampard.
The diehard Evertonian was a guest on talkSPORT on Thursday 28 July where she did not hold back on the Toffees board after a turbulent 12 months at Goodison Park.
McCann revealed that having spoken to Everton manager Lampard a few times, he had offered her the chance to come and speak to the group after she requested such a meeting on Twitter in March.
“I speak to Frank [Lampard] a little bit now and he says he’d love me to come in and tell them my stories to the boys and my stories to him,” McCann said.
“I think the players pulled up the scruff at the end of last season and had a go. It’s just the board now.
“When I referenced ‘I’m not Everton Football Club, I won’t let you down’, that was more towards the board and not the coaching and technical staff and players.
“They will be hearing from me anyway if they start playing rubbish.”
Rocket
Not one of the squad should be under any illusions that they need to improve on last season where they only just survived by the skin of their teeth thanks to a late-season surge inspired by the rowdy Blues fans.
But pre-season has not seen an improvement in any aspect and with the lowlight being the 4-0 defeat to Minnesota United, maybe they all need someone like McCann to come in and remind them who they are really fighting for.
They will probably need that rocket up their behind too because there has not been a great deal of transfer business done just yet and with the Premier League kicking off next weekend, there is not much time to solve previous problems.
McCann’s ruthless nature needs to rub off on Lampard and the Toffees’ players to ensure that the foot is never taken off the gas and they keep doing their jobs to perfection to give Everton a chance.
