Yeah I don’t really get what you’re trying to say mate, and I’m not arsed who thinks I’m right. I just know that the current movement is counter productive.

If now is not the right time to protest, then there will never be a right time. The club has been ran into the ground.

The club is heading towards relegation. The protest today is absolutely not the reason why.
 
It costs lots of money to sack a manager and his staff but if I had to choose between one or two middling players and a change of approach then I would choose the change of approach.

Do you think the actions of today are going to go unnoticed by potential incoming players and their agents? Or even potential buyers? WTF would they come here when their safety isn’t even guaranteed?

Given the choice, I’d also choose the change in approach. An alternative would be to offer Lampard and his crew a bit more severance money that is perhaps paid in one go in next season’s accounts and see if they’d accept it. It’s not a million miles away from making the same offer with respect to transfers. Yes, it sounds far-fetched, but so does having a completely absent owner that has been sanctioned by every single government in the Western world.

At this point it would seem sensible to sell Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Tom Davies, Jordan Pickford (for the cash benefit) and possibly Gordon. I don't rate Gordon.

No one is paying money for championship-level Davies, especially as he's OOC in 6 months. DCL cannot stay fit for more than 5 minutes at a time, so I don't see too many clubs falling over themselves to sign an injury-prone No9 who doesn't score goals. JP would have takers, he'll certainly leave in the summer no matter what. Any interest in Gordon will have long since cooled. Maybe somone takes a chance on him in summer, doubtful in January. Then there's the issue of replacing them with better players. That is not something we do well.

Lampard would have to believe in our ability to pay it next season. He won’t.
That’s why feeling sorry for these guys is daft, they won’t seed one penny.

Clearly the stuff with Gordon in his car was ridiculous and out of order, but I don't believe it has much of an effect really. I think there is a simpler reason we can't attract good players, we are a poor team heading for the championship.

The protest inside the ground, after the game was perfectly legitimate. It's important that we call out those who misbehaved outside the stadium etc and make sure they are aware that their behaviour isn't tolerated and they aren't welcome at future protests because they don't know how to be sensible.

As for a potential buyer, also don't think it has much impact. The problem we have with investment, is no possible investor knows what league we will be in come August. I do strongly believe however that there will be interested parties in buying the club, once they have clarity on our league status.

It's long overdue that fans asked for change. And today we learned just how little respect our board has for the supporters who have followed the team through thin and thin.

Wouldn’t work like that unfortunately. As soon as we became contractually liable for the severance it hits this years accounts, even if they agreed we wouldn’t pay it for 20 years. Transfers are the same. Which is why all the talk of us missing out on targets like Cornet etc because we wanted tiny initial payments to get round FFP/P&S was bollox. Either we were sensible and knew they were turd (unlikely) or the transfer taps had already been turned off (probably).

How did you learn that? By them staying away for safety reasons? It’s incredible that this statement is being questioned by fans, especially former the video evidence this evening. In ashamed to be an Evertonian tonight. Our passion for our club has been superseded by the need of Everton staff members having to prioritise their safety. I really hope e can all have our own views after today. It seems the fan base has been blindly led into this winless environment primarily by one remote individual.
