Echoes here however of that infamous Kenwright quote...
A few weeks ago, Thelwell was presenting at a conference of fellow sporting directors.
After he had spoken in depth about Everton’s behind-the-scenes restructure, he had a tap on the shoulder from someone working for one of the Premier League’s elite clubs. “You’ve got a better process, vision and strategy than we have,” they told him. “It’s just that you’re near the bottom of the league and we’re near the top.”
The name of the club and individual is withheld for obvious reasons but the anecdote is revealing.
