Season › 2024-25 › News The Rumour Mill Everton are said to be chasing David Weir 19/02/2025 2comments | Jump to last Online sources suggest that Everton are talking to David Weir with the intention of hiring him to replace Kevin Thelwell as Sporting Director or Director of Football. It may represent a lazy link for somebody who has noticed that David Weir played at Everton under David Moyes, and both men hail from north of the border, so something must be brewing… While other sources claim David Weir is very happy at Brighton and is not looking to leave.

Disclaimer () Mike Gaynes 1 Posted 21/02/2025 at 01:04:19 A lazy rumor indeed, since it has been bouncing around the media for six weeks, with Paul the Esk as the original online source.Nobody has cited supporting evidence so far that either TFG or Weir would be interested. Andrew James 2 Posted 21/02/2025 at 01:37:10 This seems a bit contrived and convenient to me. I can't rate Thelwell because I'm not exactly sure when his role began and which players he is responsible for. One suspects Weir has a sweet deal at BHA who have established scouting links overseas and don't have the legacy issues he would face at Everton.
