 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the Everton News Daily. The day before the Premier League starts, of course, two days till Everton starts away at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, half-full kick-off, don't forget. Layton Baines is back at Everton Football Club. He has took up a new role, a brand new role, the first of its kind at Everton. He is to be a professional development coach. At the same time, David Underworth became the director of the academy. This is to mean that there will be a one management structure, hopefully to make a smoother pathway from the academy to the first team. The previous director of the academy, Joe Walden, is now the Chief Operating Officer. That's his title now. But in regards of Layton Baines, it sounds like that he's almost like some kind of life coach. Just the way by his title and the way Everton have described it, he will work with, of course, David Underworth but also Marcel Brands and Carlo Ancelotti to ensure players at different levels have smooth transitions to the next level up. It sounds like he's going to be doing less coaching on the field and more development work off the pitch and hopefully to ensure that players laying what they need to do essentially to become professional footballers. That's what it sounds like. I don't know whether that's actually, but a professional development coach does sound a bit like a life coach, doesn't it? It sounds like he'd be doing podcasts and stuff and how to make a million pounds or something. Listen, I'm sure he'd be amazing. It's great to have him back in the club. It's great that he is back at Everton Football Club where he belongs. Maybe he sees his role going forward as someone who will eventually be a director of football. Maybe that this is the start of the path for Leighton Baines to be a future director of football at Everton. This is something that you see in other countries if you look at people like Bayern Munich, Brush of Dortmund, two teams in Germany. And certainly if you look at the Brush of Dortmund document that's on Amazon, a lot of ex-players have roles within the management structure but aren't coaches. They are part of the director of football pathway between the board and the football team. So maybe that's what Leighton Baines is looking to do. Maybe he sees his football future on that side of it rather than on the actual coaching and management on the pitch kind of things. So that's going to be really, really interesting. So a new role for him and a new role for Davey Runsworth. Which is interesting because I honestly thought at some point he was going to move on from Evan and become a manager in his own right but he's obviously decided that he wants to stay at Evan and wants to be a big part of the academy. He's got about three jobs I think at the moment so good luck to him. Maybe that'll mean at some point he'll move on from being the under-23s coach and just look after everything. I don't know but we'll wait and see. It does sound like they want to implement a style that is used all the way through the academy which is obviously the right way to go. Now whether that style has to obviously complement Carlo Ancelotti's style you would think as well. What happens with that? Everton have revealed the squad numbers for the upcoming season today. John Joe Kenny is now Everton's number two. He has took that off Mason Hallgate who has become Everton's number four which is a better number isn't it? That's more and keeping with a centre defender. You think of people like Kevin Ratcliffe when you think of number four as Everton and John Joe Kenny having number two. He's a right back that feels right. Now he's gone to number 18, the new sign, the new left back and Anthony Gordon has gone to 24. I think he was 42 wasn't he? He's gone to 24. So people can feel free now to buy their shirts and get the numbers on the back. And obviously Allen took number six, the court number 16 and obviously Hamas Rodriguez is the big one number 19 so people can feel free to go and get their shirts if they do not want the typical with Charleston and Hamas Rodriguez will be a big one as well so go out and do that now. And just one small piece of transfer rumour today is Everton have been linked once again with Santiago Arias, the right back from Atlético Madrid being rumoured a few times. This window in recent weeks, a talk in Spain is that he wants to come to Everton basically again another player who almost feels like they're linking them to us rather than we being linked with them. I think that we're going to wait and see what happens in the next couple of weeks, see how John Joe's development is. Obviously the link with Tamori is still there. We'll have to wait and see what happens over the weekend where Chelsea budge a little bit, whether their players come through that game and are all fit and then he becomes surplus to requirements. We'll have to wait and see what happens there. So there you go. Obviously Sunday the big day, Everton away at Spares hoping to see the three new signings and Carlos new look, Everton on the pitch looking forward to that.
