Brands laments interference from Moshiri and Benitez during time at Everton28/04/2023Former Everton Director of Football, Marcel Brands, has spoken of how the impatience and interference by owner Farhad Moshiri made it difficult for him to perform the job he was hired to do. “English culture makes fans and media think that the manager is about transfers and the owner determines a lot,” explains Brands who is now back at PSV. “He was already in his thirties, was not on the scouting list, he was not going to bring Everton anything. The owner also determined that there should be an experienced successor, while the chairman and I wanted Mikel Arteta. “In the first years I still had the idea that I could change something at Everton but that did not work out.
