David Weir twist emerges at Everton after Goodison Park developments
Everton have learned whether David Weir will join them as options are being assessed to replace Kevin Thewell.
Brighton’s technical director has caught a lot of people’s attention with the work he has done at the Seagulls.
Goodison Park could see Weir return as The Friedkin Group have made him one of their chief targets to take over from Thelwell [The Telegraph].
Armando Broja, Mason Holgate and Neal Maupay are a few examples of bad recruitment at the Merseyside outfit over the years, and the Friedkins may look to change how things are operated from top to bottom.
David Weir stance emerges on Everton return
Weir has no intention of leaving Brighton amid interest from the Blues, according to Everton News.
The news outlet reports (18 February) that the 54-year-old technical director is very happy with his role at the Seagulls.
The ex-Toffee is highly regarded for his work in a management role at the East Sussex outfit.
It has been claimed that while TFG are looking at options to replace Thelwell, they are yet to make a decision on parting ways with him just yet.
Kevin Thewell stint ending at Goodison Park
The Friedkins replacing Farhad Moshiri has renewed hope among the supporters of sweeping changes being made.
It started with the dismissal of Sean Dyche, who left the Blues lurching near the relegation zone after some abysmal performances this season.
David Moyes’ arrival at Goodison Park has led to an instant change in the Merseyside outfit’s prospects, as they now sit well clear of the drop.
After managing a five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League, the Scottish manager has helped turn the mood around at the Toffees.
There’s evident talent in the Blues’ squad, but the seeming lack of conviction at a boardroom and managerial level must have played a role in the team’s poor displays.
Thewell hasn’t covered himself in glory at Goodison, and with his contract expiring in the summer, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him leave soon.
With the move to Bramley Moore Dock on the cards, sweeping changes should be made to ensure TFG don’t go down the same route as Moshiri.
