Lawwell is “Sussed”

International week should be a quiet time for our ‘revered’ and ‘feared’ CEO, maybe time to chalk up some hours topping up that tan, Skype the major shareholder a few times or replace the worn out mirrors in your home.

He wouldn’t be expecting his workings to be ridiculed and questioned.

James McFadden was first up:

“It was just the way things were approached. I could expand on that, but I’m not going to.

“It’s just one of those things. I don’t know how concrete the interest was. Obviously I was in talks with Celtic, but I don’t know what their intentions were.”

‘Faddy’ has yet to play for Everton.

Then yesterday we learned:

“The Hoops were delighted the Dutchman (Bolo Zenden) decided to train with the club for a short period but both parties have agreed not to take the move further following discussions.”

To paraphrase aging rockers: “Hey Peter, leave those big kids alone”.

It seems that our dealings with players (both current and hopeful) are becoming more awkward and that the words abrasive, arrogant, allusive and down right cheeky could be used to describe them.
