Former Everton director of football Marcel Brands has once again detailed the struggles that he endured during his time at the club.
Brands spent a little over three years at Goodison Park from 2018-21, before he left the club last December. He has since gone on to take a role at Dutch club PSV Eindhoven.
Earlier this week, Brands gave an interview where he described the difficulties he faced at Everton. He spoke about the 4-1 Merseyside derby defeat before Christmas, when he was confronted by an angry fan in the Main Stand who asked whether he had recruited those on the pitch, to which he gave the cryptic reply: “Is it only the players?”
