Erm. It's just the name mate, not the people. And honestly, the name would be fine as well so long as it was clearer that the group isn't about DK any longer.

There's a saying in my line of work "whoever you work for, the smartest people work for someone else". It's increasingly the case that orgs are looking to external people not just for their cash, but for their brains. All the research in this field shows that those external people get involved in projects because they dig the topic. It's a passion, you know?
The club are getting better at engaging with fans, but they're still a long way off (imo) actually tapping into the many talents we have amongst our fanbase. Or indeed anything that's remotely non-traditional really (I mentioned in another thread about crowdfunding a stadium).
I'm inclined to think that there's a whole lot about running a football club that is incredibly traditional, and I'm not sure the club have it in them really to truly break that mould of how things could/should be done.
What do you think is the difference between the BU and Keioc is mate?

You should reset this thread about once a month, it's the same content.
I just don't understand

I note that Reading FC - yes, Reading - are the subject of interest from US consortia and from an Indian investor. Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Portsmouth, etc ad nauseam have been bought and sold many times over. Liverpool and Man City have each changed hands twice since Kenwright became "Everton's owner". And yet "no-one's buying football clubs".
He has no intention of selling.

I think he wants to sell, but he's not prepared to sell the entire club and wants to continue in a honorary role under a new chairman.
I don't think any investor wants to go into business with Ken Wright though. That's the sticking point imo

This name you keeping going on about, what do are you assuming it means?

This might have been mooted before but I am only a nipper by GOT standards and I can't find it.
If there is so much dissatisfaction then why haven't the disgruntled blues - and there are many - gone down the fan ownership route?
Obviously this is not the same as a billionaire coming in and buying us a top four spot, however it could be a transitional step that would see the people owning the club being the people who care about it the most and marketing it. These fan ownership bids usually pop up at clubs and rather than being successful sees them being flogged to another richer investor.
Not to pretend I know about the ins and outs of this sort of thing! Just wondering about it.

Like any reasonable person I assume it means: Keep Everton In Our City - in other words - make sure Everton Football Club stay within the city of Liverpool, which is an aim that has been achieved.

Wrong.
The name was changed not long after the result of the inquiry.
See avatar to the left.
Cheers mate, bullet point 4 is what we need most. Would like to see that more prominently, but it's exactly what I'm talking about.

I don't see why that should put the kybosh on a sale. I just think that Kenwright's ego couldn't stand no longer being Everton chairman.
Fair enough, I missed the change, that's on me.
