Louis Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Everton Football Club wishes to announce the appointment of a new Head of Finance. Martin Evans, formerly Finance Director of La Tasca Group plc, will assume the role at Goodison Park with immediate effect. Evans, aged 40, was heavily involved in the growth of La Tasca from a base of two restaurants into a nationwide brand. Founded as recently as 1993, La Tasca Group now operates the largest casual dining Spanish restaurant chain in the UK and Evans also contributed significantly to the establishment of a subsidiary group in the USA. Everton's Chief Executive Officer, Keith Wyness, is delighted with the appointment. He said: "We are very happy to welcome Martin to Everton Football Club as he undertakes what I feel certain will prove to be a demanding but rewarding challenge. He brings with him experience and a wealth of new ideas" Evans himself is looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead as he makes the switch to Premiership football. "I am delighted to be working for one of English football's great clubs at a really exciting period in their history," he said. "I appreciate the challenge that lies in wait for me is a tough one but with continued hard work I am sure we can equip this business to compete at all levels."

Romey 1878 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 The old Head of Finance left after the AGM I think, a bit suspect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcssl Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I hope he does make an impact on the finances of the club...as well as doing away with those crusty, slightly frozen, scouse pies and those rank hotdogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Apparently he was headhunted by Robert Earl - if Earl is actively trying to change things at Everton I can predict a power struggle between him and BK. BK doesn't like other people touching his toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Earl is considred by some as a Marketing Guru type. Perhaps this guy is one of his close foot soldiers?. Bk would be a fool to contest. Doesnt mean he wont throw his toys of that pram though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I hope he does make an impact on the finances of the club...as well as doing away with those crusty, slightly frozen, scouse pies and those rank hotdogs! a different company runs the catering in the stands, but the scouse pies are still great, not as good as two years ago with the old caterers thou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 i shouldnt know. i never touch those pies. ever since i got food poisoning from one at edgar street (hereford uniteds ground) i never wanted to touch one at any footy ground again. never wanted to take the risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 If there is a power struggle there will only be one winner - Earl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcssl Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 In all fairness, the pies are not that bad, albeit I don't eat them that much. However, I was running late a couple matches ago and didn't manage to get anything to eat before the game, therefore I opted for a hotdog just to fill a void in my stomach. I wish I hadn't! It was absolutely awful. The meat was hard, the bun was stale, although the watery tomato sause was okay. I will never eat another one at Goodison again...and put to that matter, the burgers are not much better. Reconstituted dog meat IMO.

Louis Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I know how you feel, I had a hot dog in lower gwladys once.. I bit into it, it burst and I was left with a normal sausage with a lot of saggy skin. It tasted awful. To top things off I accidently dropped it and it rolled down under the seat in front of me.
