Ed (s) , do you know if there has been any progression on the Director of Football front? Also do you know if Kevin Reeves left with RM, and if so have we replaced him with a new Chief Scout?

I think we fans have to remember that things take time and be patient. I would get things right behind the scenes, and employ the best possible team behind RK - DoF and Chief Scout in particular - before jumping in and signing players left right and centre.

I've said before I think we need 4-5 new players, but me might not get them in this transfer window. We have a whole new backroom team to put together behind identifying and chasing targets and that takes time. It should be about getting the RIGHT players in.

I think we need a CM, LW and CB to replace Stones, but beyond that I think we have a strong enough squad to have a respectable season.

We need to build strong foundations and walk before we run - even if it means not finishing top 6 straight away.

{Ed025's Note - i believe reeves is still here mate but in the shake up it looks like he will be ousted, moshiri was not happy that the scouts and reeves in particular over them having outside interests. it will take time ST as you say and the last thing we need is supporters getting on the clubs back, i just hope we all realize that we are on the verge of something special,...but rome was not built in a day..

{Ed007's Note - It looks like Reeves is still there mate, it's still listed as his job.}

Cheers Ed, i was just going with Echo last night who said former chief scout.

{Ed001's Note - I seem to remember Everton announcing he had left along with Martinez at the end of the season.}

Ed025 I thought Reeves left along with Martinez, Jones and the goalkeeping coach (can't remember his name) . I remember ed02 mentioning him several weeks ago so maybe your right and he is still at the club.

{Ed025's Note - im not aware that he has left yet officially joe but its certainly on the cards mate..

Ed025 Could you please explain why we're finding it difficult to get deals over the line. Is it convincing players to believe in Moshiri's vision for the club, or are we aiming to high? I'm just curious to what the difficulty is.

{Ed025's Note - the euro,s have not helped mike with players being off limits while the tournament was on, there is also the lets screw everton because they have big money to spend factor and moshiri wont be taken for a mug, because of the sky money most clubs have a decent war chest so now teams like palace and stoke are looking for players in the £30m bracket so its not easy, things will start to settle very shortly mate and even though players and their scum bag agents are holding out for the very best deal we will compete for the very best players so dont worry..
