Kevin Thelwell is overseeing a 120-point plan to overhaul Everton.
The director of football, appointed in February, is leading the Finch Farm revolution in hope of bringing sustainable progress on the pitch and across the academy setup. It is part of a series of changes introduced as a result of a strategic review into the football operation held as the Blues slid towards trouble last season.
Twelve months on from its launch, 26 members of staff have been appointed to different roles - including to the positions of academy director, loan pathway manager and head of sports science.
