Are Hammers eyeing Angus Kinnear to replace Karen Brady?

Is this the fella responsible for Beto and Barry?…

I'll drive him to the Olympic Park myself. Although as crazy as it sounds, Beto has been probably our best centre-forward signing of the last 5-10 years behind Dom. Crikey!

Not sure we can hold a CEO who came in June 2025 responsible for specific signings that very same transfer window.

Sure he was in charge, but only just, and the work for the summer window should have started long before he arrived.

I think this is utter nonsense.

What credibility would Angus have if he jumped ship so soon after saying what he has about Everton and their project?

His words would mean nothing or his loyalty.

It might mean a Moyes power play.

Just guessing... it's a Friday free-for-all.

Kinnear is a commercial guy more than a football guy.

He was brought in to drive revenue. Pepsi, Budweiser and Heinz are to his credit.

Martin (3), in my experience you are at least a decade (possibly 2) out of date if you think ‘loyalty’ is better regarded than people simply following the money, sorry, pursuing ‘personal development’.

Of course it shouldn’t just be about experience and loyalty either but there has to be a balance.

The idea seems to be that if you are ‘savvy’ then you will automatically be useful to the company.

If he is inextricably drawn to London then I doubt he’d ever really connect to the average Evertonian. I’m confident he is not irreplaceable.

Saint Angus the Silent will be no loss and will be easily replaced. Nothing remarkable about this fella at all.

That said, I doubt that these rumblings are accurate. It would be nice, MK, if you told us where these 'reports' are.

Yes, Paul, it could of course be quite bogus. I think it came from something called Claret & Hugh, a Hammers website.

I thought it might get Kevin Molly agitated as he seems most exercised about Angus. For me, he maintains a low profile (Angus... not Kevin), which I think is good, and would appear to be getting on with the job of managing Everton FC in a reasonably competent manner. But we are paying him an awful lot of money.

I see very little to the contrary.

Thanks MK.

He does have a low profile and commercial deals - as Mike G shows - are moving along nicely.

So, I'm probably wrong, but I do wish that he might speak a little more. We are so often left in the dark. Mind you, it was the dead liar "give me the money" twat who stopped those important meetings.

But the last owner and this one seem dead happy to follow suit.

It's taken me decades to get over Alan Ball leaving for Arsenal.

Now, the news that Angus may be leaving... Is there ever any good news?
