Great news on Sam Allardyce but just as important is the proposed DOF role

Do any of the Eds know what is happening re Marcel Brands?

Personally I think he has more than enough time to make his mind up whether he wants the job and we need an answer off him now, not in another 2-3 weeks.

It's not a case of we are Everton so he should be happy that we want him, but, it is a case of, if this is how long he takes to make a decision does he really want to come and maybe we should look elsewhere.

{Ed001's Note - no idea, he has been offered the job, not sure if he accepted and is just trying to sort out a release or if he is thinking it over right now. He has not rejected you though, so that suggests it is probably just a matter of time until he takes up the role. Though you can never be certain when it is a personal decision like this.}

Wasn't he offered the job a couple of weeks ago. The transfer window opens tomorrow. Surely it is in the best interests of Brands, Everton and PSV that he makes a decision now instead of keeping everyone in limbo?

Have we got a back up lined up if he backs out?

{Ed001's Note - I am sure all 3 parties would prefer things to be done as soon as possible but it is a big decision to make.

There are always other options, yes, but he is number one choice.}

That's why they get paid the big bucks.

Making big decisions - not differing.

We should give him an time frame - make a decision by Friday or we proceed onto the other options.

I think also a director of football would need to know who the manager is going to be. I presume he will have said he can work with Silva and hopefully they will both sign together. I can only hope they have their ideas on the squad.

I think though whatever happens Moshiri is now firmly taking charge. I think the coaches, board and players are in for a big turn around - I wouldn’t be suprised to see at least 10 leave:
Robles, jags, Williams, Galloway, Browning, garbutt, besic, jmac, besic, naisse, Rooney off top of my head.

Personally I’d like Aarnold from palace to replace Baines long term. I’d also like Gibson at Boro.

Give klasson Sandro Vlasic and lookman a pre-season to see what they can do as well as new Nigerian striker (forgot his name)

Pay through the nose for Zaha would be my perfect summer but I think another striker seems more likely. Vardy an option but he is 31.

Have a great summer everyone!
