If left to his own devices this man will right the ship and get us sorted 💯 the evidence is there that his approach is starting to bear fruit 👏🏾👀

[@goodisonpark5987]

Everton seem to have bear fruit after a barren 30 years of drought. Please don't rock up at Goodison to Chelsea with the shithousery we've watched for 30 years

[@townders39]

Balanced and honest pleased you’re in this position. Great interview and reassuring. Thanks!

[@gavincunningham4598]

Like the way he speaks

[@dewiroberts579]

One of many former Denbighshire development coaches who went on to further his career. These guys were incredibly talented and certainly afforded many and I the opportunity to develop football wise and as people way back in the 90’s and 2000’s. Kevin you were ace then and thank you. Good luck in your role. Am well Impressed with your progress and you as a person.

Fuck me I get a good feeling about Everton going forward.

Greg Jones, we all support your opinion.. 💙

[@frankhornby6873]

Kevin Thelwell...💙👍🏻

[@PaulTraces]

This guy is so important for Everton, the transfer business under his stewardship so far has been very promising. The likes of James Garner, Tarkowski and McNeil have proved to be very good business. Imagine if he had money to spend!

[@karlanthony2179]

The shirt is passable for a farmer but those trabs, shocking!

[@goodisonpark5987]

Can we get something right here. The Everton fans and players are only aligned as the players are only now finally delivering delivering some except able results. The players have failed the fans the last 30 years
