Everton must learn from silly PR mistake with Jack Grealish saga

Writer Jamie Kemble argues that Everton made a public relations mistake by allowing details regarding Jack Grealish's off-field absence to leak to the media. While acknowledging reports that Grealish stepped out of line by partying, Kemble criticizes the club for failing to handle the matter internally, especially after a strong start to the Premier League season.

Kemble contrasts Everton's approach with Cardiff City handling Callum Robinson's suspension quietly, contending that public leaks create unwanted distractions for manager David Moyes. The writer concludes that Everton must protect in-house information and resolve disciplinary matters privately if they hope to compete consistently among the league's top clubs.
