 Fawr gynny興 A The Tothi Tv. I enjoyed I like a monthly chat now with the corresponding fans for remember Chicago Heat. It's Tony Sampson. Rhyw bryd yn irgrifio. It's a really good time to hear blue isn't it? I keep saying because we haven't kicked the ball yet, at the moment no one can disprove or not the best team in the land at the minute. Mae'r ffordd maen i ymgyrch ar gwaith. Mae'r amlwg eu cyfnodd a'r byddwch i mi ddod i'r cyfnoddddu. Roedd gennym yn ei wneud, ond yn byw, mae'n gweithio'n holleg yi'n iawn, oherwydd mae'n clywbeth arbennig. Mae'n gwybod olaf o phobl, ond yn ymgyrch yn ei ddweud y flaenau gwyrddai yn ystafell.

Ond mae'n ganddofog hefydau'r rhwng hwn ar gyfer ymyniad... .. wrth gwrs, mae'r diogel â fan-gubill... ..yn ychydigad. The big thing that I'm kind of boosted by is that, the man is just seeing, we all seeing to start that midfield needs a changing. He's gone out and got what look like two excellent players for us to go in the hearts of that midfield then, do you? Ychydig i gyd, ac mae'n llywi'n meddwl i gael fitfynod, mae'n gilydd yn blaen.

The third member there of the signing club this week, and obviously the biggest and the one that's caught the world's imagination, it seems like, is Hamas Rodriguez. I think just on a purely footballing basis, first and foremost, probably the biggest name ever to sign for Everton, and that should have mattered certainly with his global reach when Rooney was massive when he came back, but we'd made him anyway. He was asked to start with, and obviously Hamas Rodriguez, for me, and has been a well-class player in Everton, probably haven't had a well-class player really since maybe Andre Cinceltis. Llew gapi was an absolutely fantastic centre forward, and probably in that bracket, but coming through Everton, that well-class ability, we know he's had injury problems, we know his career hasn't gone probably the way he hoped, which is why he's coming to Everton. But nonetheless, that left foot, there's some talent in it, isn't it? Completely. We've seen all the footage of the ability that he's got, so again, hopefully this is a bit of a start for him to kick on from there, and I don't think that you sign and play for teams like he has, if you haven't obviously got that talent, so it's great. And also, there's clearly a trust and a respect there with Carlo as well, and I think that's important for some players to know that they've got somebody that can bring out the best and then put them in the best system and help them develop on that. So hopefully all those things click for us, and hopefully the players continue with the buzz of what's gone round as well. That will be a few new faces and stuff, hopefully it'll lift, as you say, some of those other players that maybe haven't been playing so well in their last season or two. So, he definitely brings, we know it's there, we just now hope it's pieces together with the rest of the new signings, but they're exciting. As you say, the prospect of somebody with his reach, first and foremost, we need to see what he does on the pitch, that's the most important thing, but all the other stuff and the reach that he's got as well just adds to the mystery and the intrigue as well, doesn't it? It does, let's move on to that then, let's leave the football to one side a little bit now and move on to the other stuff and we saw, you know, there was the buzz and excitement about it all over the weekend, there was people at the hotel and pitties with him and worrying and stories and everything else, but it eventually came to Everton revealing him as an Everton player. I think, personally, the club done an absolutely amazing job with it, being critical of the club, not doing things like this at the time, I don't think the club done enough when we had Wayne Rooney, I'm not going to lie, four weeks later, after he'd come, it made it very difficult to market somebody in the opening month, we had a great opportunity and we almost done it apologetically, did we do enough for Tim Kale and Tim Howard? No, we didn't, but it's about moving forward, isn't it? We've got a global super stand, I think the club reacted accordingly and we saw, we saw the Lime Street, you know, in Lime Street, the thing going across with Hammers, we saw building in Bogota, it's all it's building, you know, in Bogota lit up with the 19 and we saw obviously Miami and then the big one I think, the one that everyone kind of went all the way, there was obviously Times Square in New York seeing it there as well and I just think the club have done a very amazing job. I just think the club have done a very good job with it and it's about building on it, but I mean you're in America so, you know, was it there for you to see in Chicago, was it news in Chicago or was it still a little bit underplayed or what, cos here it's huge? No, I think the impact was just as big and I agree with you, I think the way that the club managed that and got out ahead of the signing was really impressive and you're right, I think there's been, you know, rightfully sort of criticism in the past that maybe has not taken advantage of the opportunities that we've had with those players that you've mentioned, you know, it's a constant sort of issue here, you know, when people talk about Tim Howard and McBride and all the other players that we've talked about. So, you know, we can't, you know, that's gone now and I just say I think we have got to look forward and I don't think anybody can criticise the club in the way they've managed the signing cos I thought it was really impressive and it shows the ambition for me as well, you know, it shows the front. You know, I remember when City did, was it when Tevedre signed for, for, and they did, exactly and it's just, but it's just, you know, as you say, you know, what they did in the city, you know, back home and, you know, the billboards there and then obviously obviously in the key markets out here. It has a massive impact and, you know, people definitely noticed it. I mean, my phone was buzzing. In fact, I was in touch with a guy who runs the Vice City of Atonians in Miami, you know, and we were just talking about how things would go and he was made up, you know, we've signed hammers and then he says, I'm going, I've just had a text to say and he was on Miami Beach at the time and he said I just had a text to say, look out onto the water because there's a boat with a big billboard of our new sign and he's like, I can't see it, I can't see it, but again, that's, you know, that's, that's built, you know, built the excitement for, you know, for him. Same with him. I was speaking to Michael Setterberg who runs the New York Atonians and he was the same, you know, he sent me, you know, he said, I think there's something in Times Square, so he sent someone down to go and have a look from the club as well. So, you know, he was sending pictures around, but yeah, it is. It's created, you know, a real sense of excitement and we've talked before, you know, there's a, not just in the US, but everywhere else. There's a massive network of supporters club here that's built up over time, you know, that has been, you know, and has never gone away even despite the fact that we haven't, you know, been that successful on the pitch. So now they're seeing the, you know, maybe after some of the words and some of the things that have happened in the past that, you know, the club series about, you know, sort of investing in the international market, which is brilliant. You know, it just gives everybody a lift apart from the football side and give them something to believe in. And, you know, obviously what I want to do now is make sure that the supporters clubs are involved in, you know, these plans because I think what it does is it just gives them a chance to the club to sort of accelerate some of the stuff that they've been doing. I mean, we've talked a little bit before about, you know, the international academy affiliation and the online friendly and the work that, you know, that they're doing to support the clubs. But now I think it just takes it to, you know, a different level. And I suppose the challenge now mate is, you know, after all the razzmatazz of, you know, the unveiling and everything is how do they maintain that, you know, and really sort of seize the opportunity. So, you know, fingers crossed that, you know, they're going to be doing it. And again, you know, they're obviously making, you know, moves to sort of try and solidify this on you with the, you know, the plans for the US base, which again is sort of really welcome. So, yeah, you know, let's hope that now, you know, this is the start of that sort of, you know, global evidence brand. Well, we have got a build on it's important. It's difficult. It's difficult. I mean, in some respects, it's over to you now Hamas, isn't it? You know, he starts knocking a couple in with that left foot wonder vision. But even if it just takes a little bit of time, the interest is there. We've had unbelievable numbers on our videos of an unbelievable amount of Colombians come on and, you know. Just wait till they see this one. Exactly. They see us on it. They see us on it, mate. That's it. It's gone through the roof. You know, I'm writing replies in Spanish and everything, trying to go, trying to put the titles and all that, you know. So just even that, but it is about building that because it's about spreading our brand yet. We did Reddle for a while in L4 and it's all us and it's only us and we don't care about, you know, we all were from the city and we live a mile away and two and three miles away from the city. That was great for a while. Football is, you know, we have to catch up. We have to catch up. But playing, you know, everybody else is jogging along nicely and we've been walking and we've got a sprint now to try and close that gap because the others are. We've seen Manchester City opening a, you know, New York City in a fair and a big presence in the US. Chelsea have been present in the US for years. Liverpool have gone every year practically to build their brand up, united big anyway. Evan have got to try to spread it far and wide and this is the club I've done really well and obviously Hammers will help it. If he does, and we have some of those big moments that he's produced, I'm not talking about this and if we win something incredible, but I'm just talking about if he's success and a positive influence on the team and we have those moments when he gets winners and, you know, he's creative and I think Evan will continue to grow and what the club have to do and they have done it this week to be fair. They haven't let it, they haven't let it die down. They've doubled down on the content. Even yesterday there was a joint press conference with Roderick and Anciolotti, you know, I thought that was clever. So there's all little tidbits coming off it. We need him to deliver and if he delivers we need the club to make sure they're ready to hammer home everything. So far it seems like they are and with the help of yourself and other clubs over there as well, how can we keep the conversation going? I guess that's the challenge for them, isn't it? No, I agree and I think you're right. I think if you look at some of those clubs that have established themselves in different markets, you're right. I think the number one ingredient to that is success on the pitch. That's a thing and, you know, we haven't been in that position obviously for a long time now. But again, you know, the hope there is with Carlo and, you know, with these few players coming in that we can move to that level on the playing field. So, you know, so you're right. I think the other ingredient for, you know, for sort of, you know, expansion globally, probably in any setting, you know, supported by the right commercial structure is, have you got something that people want to see here by or, you know, get interested in? And clearly with the hammers thing, you know, we've got that now. And it isn't just in South America, you know, it's, you know, it's beyond there as well. Obviously South America and Latin America is the focus. So, you know, those things are now sort of moving, you know, in the right place. And I think that's why people are excited. You know, as we said, you know, we've got, we've got this network of supporters groups and others. We know that people have stuck with us, you know, through thin and through thick and thin. So to your point, it's now really important that sort of all of those different, those three different elements now sort of come together and keep building that momentum. You know, so, you know, we're really looking forward to that. You know, the supporters clubs, you know, I think I've told you before, certainly in the U.S. You know, now we've got a network of supporters group, group leads that interact and regularly, you know, on sort of all the socials and sort of WhatsApp groups and sort of dropping in ideas and things and wanting to know how they can expand. This obviously, I think moves things a little bit to it, you know, to a different level potentially. So, you know, what, what I, what I myself and Joe O'Reilly will be saying to the club and I've been is, you know, well, how can we now integrate this expansion strategy with the supporters clubs as well and make sure that, you know, they continue to, you know, to be involved because, you know, some of the issues that we've been talking about for a long time, like, you know, can you get a shirt? Can you get merchandise? How easy is it to do that? You know, those things now are, you know, top, top of mind. So, you know, again, I know the club has, has, you know, made some, made an announcement this week around sort of trying to maximize their distribution channels through fanatics so that everyone can get access to this shirt, you know, as much as they can. So, they're things I hope now that we can, you know, we can, you know, we can get a little bit of grit in and move forward. But the opportunities are there and I agree the club is, the club is, you know, in this first phase has done, has done a good job. It's now, as you say, we've got to keep that momentum, got to keep, you know, the positivity. And like you said there about L4, looking at, you know, I'm a scouser and I'm proud of my city and my family and mates are all still there and everything and that's part of it. But, you know, there's, there's, there's thousands of blues in every corner of the world, you know, they've been chosen by Everton. And then, you know, as you say, like the hardy glory hunters mates are the, and they've stuck with it, you know, and there's something about Everton that they've wanted to connect to, they've stayed connected to. And as I say, they've stuck through with us. So, you know, now we've got to embrace that sort of loyalty and that passion for our club with the opportunities that this all brings. So it's exciting. It's really exciting. Right. I mean, last time you were on, the survey had been done and we've gone through that, the international survey and we've had all kinds of responses. Where have you up to? Have you had any more on that? Yeah, yeah. So that's what's been really great is that that's like an ongoing dialogue now between first of all Joe and I with the different clubs around, you know, around the world, but also, you know, with the club itself. So I think we told you that, you know, we've made some recommendations around based on the survey findings, based on a number of issues like retail, like how the clubs engage and connect and sort of build that profile and presence, how they can sort of help engage and find evertonians of the future in their localities, how do we grow those, as well as things like sort of, you know, tickets and even sort of connecting with them in the community as well. They were some of their findings. So, you know, we sat down with the club. In fact, we've had a few meetings and how to go through those. The club has taken those on board, listened to their, they've actually, over the last number of weeks and months, you know, they've been reaching out to the supporters clubs to get there. And put as well. So they've been saying, you know, we've had this, you know, we had X, Y and Z. We're coming up to the new season. You know what? What are the things that are important to you? Which is again a really good signal. So they've been asking for that and using that then with the survey to inform some of their plans. So I know, you know, they'll be sort of sharing some of this in the weeks ahead. But, you know, for example, you know, they're looking to make sure that, you know, there's a number of states in the U.S. still that haven't got official affiliated supporters clubs. So I know that, you know, they're keen to close that gap, which is great because we can all help sort of spread the word to make sure that there's a blue supporters club in every state. The process to sort of become an official supporters club as well. They had a bit of feedback that some of it was a little bit clunky and cumbersome, so they're refining that and they're working on that, which actually is important to some of the clubs. They've got ideas as well around, you know, how can they support the existing supporters clubs with, you know, starter packs and also with, you know, sort of running events and how they can keep their own members engaged. So they're going to be working on that. I think they're keen to sort of highlight a little bit more of a spotlight on some of the supporters clubs to build that connection. You know, and so everybody gets to hear a little bit more about that. They did supporters club of the week throughout last season, just to, you know, signalling, you know, whether it was France or, you know, wherever it was, Spain, you know, Madrid or whatever. But I think they want to delve into a little bit more detail so we all get to hear those events and stories and share them. So that'll be good. They did a number of Zoom meetings with some of the ambassadors and others with supporters clubs overseas and in the UK actually last season, obviously with the pandemic. So I think they'll want to continue with that. And I don't know what it does is it just creates that sense of community, I think. You know, when people want to throw it on social media, they're talking about it. I mean, I see it, you know, I see the reaction to, you know, to some of those things and they might seem small. But they're not, you know, knowing that the club is engaging and wants to engage, you know, it gets people talking, you know, in between the different supporters club. So that's all moving forward and, you know, we'll sort of, you know, we'll continue to talk to them. They've been, you know, very open to the feedback that we've given them. And, you know, they were obviously already working on a number of things, you know, before the season. So what we're trying to do now is to sort of complement them and then move forward. Brilliant. And last time we, again, last time we chatted, you talked about possibly having a meeting with Hummel. So has that taken place or are you still waiting? No, we're actually, it was, it was, it was this week, I think. So yeah, we met him. So the forum has got a number of sorts of different sort of working groups. I think I've explained this before. So we've got one that looks at sort of stadium atmosphere ones on catering. We've got obviously the international group. We've got one to the events. And then we've also got one for retail specifically. And that, you know, that sort of meets with sorts of the various different partners on the club. And so, you know, we talked last time about, you know, some of the noise around, you know, some of the isolated examples of the badges and availability and that sort of thing. So, you know, they were, they're the types of things that, you know, we've taken them through there. So, yeah. So, but we met with a guy called Philip Troulson, who's the chief brand officer at Hummel. It was largely an introductory meeting, but we were able to talk about some of the things that we've. We've raised with you before. And, you know, what was quite interesting with him. He's a swede, actually. He's a swede that's working for the Danish company. So that was an interesting dynamic itself. But he's actually worked for some other sort of fairly big brands as well in the US. So he understands the dynamics of certainly the US market, which I thought was quite encouraging. So, you know, he was quite alive to some of the issues we've raised in terms of distribution and availability. And shipping and those things. You know, he talked very positively about sort of the initial stages of the partnership with the club, which was called, and I think we've all, you know, we've all read about that. But from an international perspective, you know, he was very clear in letting us know that, you know, this is a significant part of what they, you know, what they want to be focusing on over the course. They've got, you know, they've obviously got bases in different parts of the world that, you know, I think they're going to try and sort of use the stuff. We've just been talking about, obviously, whilst that's largely an issue for fanatics in terms of distribution. Humble have obviously got an interest in that. So, you know, the whole hammers thing is going to be important. But, you know, we raised a couple of things like some of the data that we got from the survey around this. You know, he wanted to know about that to sort of inform the stuff that they've already got. So again, that was a good signal. We raised with them. So we've had a lot of feedback around the fact that in store presence, particularly in some countries, Ireland is one specific example where you used to be able to get, you know, walk into the shop and actually get the share to have you. That's changed has gone away. So we were able to flag that with him again, open and receptive. He's asked for more information around what might be the opportunities to do that. You know, I think they've got, you know, a sort of twin strategy, obviously, of online as well as sort of in store retail. And they've obviously got to balance it with demand. But again, he was like, look, if you've got ideas or if you think that there's things that were missing, then do that. So again, we know we provided that. So it was a good sort of introduction to, you know, to the conversation. The other thing as well is they've got a history humble of getting fan input into, you know, some of their product lines and that sort of stuff. So again, the fact that they've done it before, I think, is encouraging. So again, now, you know, we want to make sure that, you know, they continue to do that for future product lines and what have you. So, yeah, it was a good sort of healthy exchange. And, you know, we'll obviously follow that through now with the club officials and hopefully see them again as well. Yeah. I mean, that's really, really important, isn't it? That they are, you've got that relationship. They are listening to the fans or add loads of people when we've been talking about obviously the hammers thing and saying, can we get a shirt? Or we were saying, if you can't get a shirt, get a T-shirt, that's like the replica of the Everton kit, all the most. But it's amazing with his name on it. Because, you know, especially if you think Columbia, you know, sort of come up with Columbia, people were on saying a shirt like three weeks away. These are sort of whatever. That's right. But if you could get a T-shirt for, I don't know, $15, but it's an editing thing with hammers 19 on the back, you know, it's an opportunity. Is there enough for that going on? But we've also had Irish fans on then saying, I can't even get a shirt in Ireland. And it's like without going online. And that, I mean, that isn't good, is it? It's not good to, you walk into a sport store and you can get every kit and every man represented. It doesn't send off the right message, I don't think. No, it doesn't. And again, hopefully now we've got the opportunity. And I think you're right, having that sort of understanding of how things play in those different markets is going to be critical as well. The point you just made around sort of the cost of things is a real issue. We've all seen the black market opportunities there for people, their rife. So that's obviously got to be part of what the club thinks about. But it's funny, actually, all the Twitter exchanges and social media stuff. When we tweeted something that was a Columbian fan, it sort of said, you know, oh, this is great hammers, it's Jordan Everton. And we replied, you know, well done, you know, and welcome to the family. And then we've got a follow up actually from a couple of Columbians straight away. And they were actually based in Chicago. So we've been in touch with them and now they're going to come to the game on Sunday. They're Evertonians instantly. So again, you know, that's just a very small example of sort of, you know, the impact of some of this stuff. So hopefully on the commercial side as well, we can match that, you know, that interest and attraction to everything with, you know, with the retail and stuff. But it feels good to be able to, doesn't it, at the moment? It is. We've got a, I think I've seen you saying something or you might have just said it in that. I think if only we could bottle this feeling, you know, when we're all buzzing and positive. You know, again, we can only do as much as we can on the team off the pitch, can only do as much as we can on it. It does just boil down to Carlo and the boys now to go on and start delivering. And we know we're old enough to have seen it last time. So when it was incredible, but, you know, Everton are waiting to be ignited at the end. If we could just get, I don't know, a trophy or a team in a Champions League that it would go through the roof because we've got a lot of fans under 25, 30, even under 30 now who might just remember us winning the Cup in 95, but probably not who go and, you know, fanatical fans over in America getting up like you stupid hours in the morning and watching us for basically not. We haven't even been able to put two seasons consistently together. So if we could get a bit of it, right, the club, I think it'd explode even further. And I think, you know, that's what we've all got to be aiming for. Because you mentioned it just before. The ambition is there to start and to demonstrate that ambition. I think for the first time in far-ad-mashiri rain and whoever else is involved in them with them for the first time and mentioning no names in Israel. He's got the world-class manager he wants it. He's got the man who's been there, done it, won it, but he plays respect for getting people in on another level to what we've had. And hopefully that will just continue to develop. If fans can get behind it and if the players can deliver and the reach gets bigger, then we can move forward and go up a couple of levels because that's how most of the elite club started. Manchester City, as we well know. We know when they did this big ten years ago. Good example. And that was a little bit different because they could spend what they wanted, but they still hadn't maintained that success. Chelsea had another club. You know, when I haven't made great Chelsea, you're just looking at them now with another club where they're looking at us. It can be done. I look at them across the park between a huge club. Where they were four years ago to where they are now is bear differences. And it can be done. Let's hope we start to make those strides, but it all sounds like things are moving forward. Is there anything I've missed off there, Tom? That's the confidence that our last meeting? No, I think that's it from international. I think that's probably enough, isn't it, mate, as well? I think, as you say now, it's all set now. It's all in place. Let's hope that on a football side, primarily, that we see the progress that we need to, because I think that's what we all want, and that'll drive them a mentor more than anything else. Fingers crossed, but now it is exciting, the buzz amongst the supporters club leads at the moment. Not just in America, but I've been working with some of the South American groups as well is amazing for obvious reasons. So, we want to try and connect that into other parts of the world as well now. And again, I want to make sure that these fans that are stuck with us through largely thin are able to be part of the next phase. So, that's what I'm going to continue doing with the rest of the forum and with Joe and the other international members to keep it going. So, look, we need to keep spreading the word, don't we mate? We do, we do keep spreading toffy TV, where there's well talent, that's where you get it. But three big games now in six days for Everton. So, Sunday's a big game and a tough game, but we've got Salford City then in a cup, the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, that's a big game. And then obviously West Brom, early kick-off next day, very early for you, next Saturday morning, isn't it? So, a big weekend out and guessing the interest will be there as well. Hopefully, hopefully we have a great weekend. That would be lovely. So, just have three good results over the next week or so. I think will be incredible for us and get us right on the proper footing for the rest of the season. Fingers crossed. Very good. You mentioned it before, hopefully we get a grip of this pandemic and we can get back in stadiums as well and really show the new lads what it's like to play for Evertonians when we're behind you. Build everything else as much as we can, but keep fighting the good fight. You're doing a great job. And look, if anyone in any part of the world wants to learn more about how they can be part of what we're doing, then obviously I know you're in touch with people, but they can get in touch with us at the fans forum. If there's things that we need to point them towards the club on, we'll do that with the engagement team that are building stuff as well. People should feel free to get all of us. Most definitely. If you're watching this from anywhere and you want to speak to Tony, you can do as a Chicago ever Tony, but like you said, the fans forum is there as well. Get in touch with them if you want to become a supporters club or you just want information about your local supporters club. There's the avenues there. Now you can have conversations with people about what to do next and get on board the Everton train because it might just be going a little bit quicker than it has been for the few years fingers crossed. Let's see what happens. Big thanks to Tony for getting up at the Crachydorne in Chicago and recording this. He told me before. It's just before his kids made loads of noise and he'd be able to speak. So there you go. Natto. Big pleasure, mate, speaking to you. Thanks very much for getting up and I guess I'll speak to you again in 46 weeks and see how we're going with it. Sounds great yet. Happy to speak any time and thanks for having me on again. Good to see you mate. Top man, top man. Big thanks there to Tony Samson joining us all away from Chicago.
