Everton Announce New Manager
Everton today announced that David Moyes had been replaced as Everton manager ending his 10 year spell at the Toffees, Moyes highest league position was 4th in 2004-05 and getting to an FA Cup final in 2009. Many fans paid tribute to the manager who had to work on a strict budget each year bringing in many quality players and grabbing a Championa League spot aswell.
The board caused massive debates about their decision to hire unproven Scottish manager Carson John Kemp who managed Drumchapel Amatuers and was recommended by Moyes as he often kept tabs on the club he once played for, The biggest majority of the fans are unhappy at the decision to hire an unknown however Kemp has stated he will prove the fans he is a worthy manager if given the time and backing by them, the players and staff at the club.
Bill Kenwright spoke to the press regarding his decision as he told the press the reason in the change was it was the right time and they wanted someone to replace David Moyes who was young with fresh ideas and a willingness to try new things, Moyes had told us about Kemp before in signing him as a coach and he had several interviews which went extremely well and speaking about the future of the club he showed promising signs in what he could see as potential which led us to believe he had the right qualitys to take the job and David agreed to step down in the hope that the club will progress.
I had sat there patiently waiting to be introduced the the media and finally my big moment was here I walked out in my rented suit to the flashes of the photographers and took my seat beside Mr Kenwright and taking a sip of water before speaking "Ladies & Gentlemen, Thank you for coming here today in such short notice, I understand you all have many questions to ask me and I unfortunately do not have time to sit here and answer them all so in a brief statement, I would like to thank David for introducing me to the club owners and recommending myself as a good candidate as a manager and let him know I won't let him down. I have had lengthy meetings with the staff and Mr Kenwright regarding my job and expectations and any fan sceptical I ask that you give me time and I will show you i'm the right man for the job, I have a number of signings in my head of who I want in and also out and we at Everton are working on all neccessary tactics, training and upcoming Europa League matches which have already begun. Thank you for listening and I'm sure any questions can be answered by Mr Kenwright as I need to go meet my squad and staff before contacting several agents which I will not disclose, Goodbye" I had firmly stood my ground against the media without letting them get a word in and I had left the conference room I'm sure many people will think it unprofessional however I have a lot of work to do and players to bring in to be successful.
Transfers Out
David Moyes had already brought in several players such as Darren Gibson & Steven Naismith, and I planned to bring in 3 or 4 more depending on the sales I had planned, I called in Tim Howard first to my office and admitted to him that although he was a important player at the club I had plans for other goalkeepers and would be placing him on the transfer list to free up some wages, Phil Neville was the next man I had informed he was leaving as the wage list had to be cut down even more to bring in the right players to have any success, Finally youngster Conor McAleny was told he didn't have the potential and the club had been contacted by Norwich for a fee of ?1mil which had been accepted and if he could agree contract terms he is free to leave as he doesn't fit into my plans A fee of ?6mil was agreed and Howard headed to Man City as Phil Neville headed for newly promoted Southampton for a fee of ?1.2million giving the manager an income of ?8.25million.
Transfers In
A number of agents were contacted with 4 getting back to us and agreeing terms, First of all 2 Goalkeepers joined the ranks with Artur Boruc bringing in experience on a free transfer and Craig Gordon also signing on a free, Next up to put pen to paper was Ruben Yttergard Jenssen from Tromso for an agreed fee of ?1million and the final player to complete the dealings is Leonardo Bonucci from Juventus costing ?3.6million tallying up a total amount spent of ?4.6million, Manager Kemp admitted signing these players were a massive boost with the experience of Bonucci and Artur Boruc and for such small fee's would help in the upcoming campaign.
