Senior scout to follow Walsh out the door
One of Everton's senior recruitment personnel, Laurence Stewart, is to leave the club as Marcel Brands seeks to overhaul his new department at Finch Farm. Wednesday, 23 May, 2018Stewart joined the club from Manchester City shortly after Steve Walsh was appointed as the Blues' first director of football but he is ready to take a position under Paul Mitchell at RB Leipzig according to the Liverpool Echo.
The report also suggests that the future of Martyn Glover, who was installed as Walsh's chief scout in 2016, is unclear at the moment but Brands is expected to make changes at all levels as he assembles his chosen team at his new club.
Brands was appointed as Walsh's successor last week after weeks of speculation that he would leave PSV Eindhoven after eight years to accept a position in the Premier League with Everton.

At this rate Marcel Brands will earn the nickname Rentokil.
Long overdue, let's hope that the revolution will deliver the Everton we all love and have craved for, for years now!

Change does not necessarily mean improvement but I have faith in Brands, I'm excited to see which players he targets.

Getting better quality scouts in is a different matter.

You can guarantee that this lot will involve more men on more money. When Sam was at Bolton he bragged of 'a backup team of 28' – at Everton he was more constrained and mainly had to put up with what was left of Koeman's and Walsh's lackies.
I can see the Brands - Silva 'dream team' constructing an empire round themselves. But if they bring success, who will give a damn?
