Ruthless Dan Friedkin set to sack Kevin Thelwell with his Everton replacement already lined up

Everton have seen considerable change over recent weeks with David Moyes now set to replace Sean Dyche.

The Friedkin Group have arrived on Merseyside and they have certainly shook things up at Goodison Park.

After securing the keys, the Friedkins promised stability at Everton following years of frustration under Farhad Moshiri.

However, the long-term stabilisation is coming at a price with short-term disruption.

Moyes is set to become the new Everton manager with a two-year deal believed to have been put in place for the 60-year-old.

But he is not the only new face set to be appointed at Everton over the coming days by the Friedkins.

Everton set to sack Kevin Thelwell as director of football

Late last year, Everton News were informed both Dyche and Thelwell were to be sacked by the Friedkins after the turn of the year.

And it seems as if the latter is set to follow the 53-year-old out of the door at Finch Farm.

Taking to X, Everton insider The Esk has shared the expectation for Thelwell to be sacked with his days at Goodison numbered.

‘His time is up also. Soon to leave the club,’ he replied to a fan about Thelwell’s position.

There could well be some disappointment surrounding the current Everton chief with his signings largely failing to improve the starting XI.

And in recent days, Thelwell pushed for the signing of Jaden Philogene, but came up short with relegation rivals Ipswich Town winning the race.

David Weir set to replace Thelwell at Everton

With Thelwell headed for the exit, The Esk also suggested Brighton & Hove Albion chief David Weir is set to be named his successor.

‘Dave Weir as DOF,’ he replied to his Thelwell post.

Weir has been a part of the Brighton setup for a number of years now and replaced Dan Ashworth in 2022 as the Technical Director.

It would be a return to Goodison Park for Weir as he played 266 times for Everton during his playing career.

The Friedkins did not thank Dyche for his Everton service after sacking him, which did feel slightly harsh.

If Thelwell is to follow, it will be interesting to see how the two press releases compare.
