We need to talk about Kevin

Spare a thought for poor Kev Thelwell. He is, after all, only following orders. In a quick chat today with an excellent source on HMS Sevco, I was told that the Delaware Crew gave the ex-Everton chap clear instructions. When he was tasked with finding a replacement for the Enlightened One, the FNG had to tick TWO boxes: Firstly, ensure he is acceptable to the supporters. Secondly, agree to work within the current financial parameters. Mr Gerrard clearly ticked the first one. However, my understanding is that the dignified conclave in London fell apart when the financial details were explored.
