General Meeting

[MikeH72]

Modern football is absolutely rubbish.

....not sure that’s the case, surely somebody had to give him green light on spend whether he was on the Board or not.

you're having too narrow a focus here Eggs...on a broader governance perspective, this is a shocking decision.
It sums up Everton entirely.

 

[DanB90]

Keith Harris describes Bramley-Moore Dock as a “real cracking opportunity”.


You just don’t get soundbites like this any more.

 

[trueblue84]

...spot on.

It's a disgraceful decision...and says a lot about Brands that he accepted the role...he's a compromised tool

So you only respect people who turn us down?

 

[chrissyjack]

He now becomes institutionalised and looks at every penny spent as his own, and therefore we see a sell to buy culture ushedered back in.

Or , being on the board gives him enough clout to get the funds required for the players him and Marco want

 

[deipnosophist]

We should never forget that we are an utterly nothing club that hasnt won a pot worth mentioning for 30 years.

I personally never forget that and no, I dont count The Fa Cup as a trophy worth mentioning.

You can either dwell on that every second of every single day, which in turn will make you very bitter and twisted and will mean you take no happiness from supporting the club or you can put it to the back of your mind, take the "small victories" and dream of a day that might never come, a dream that we sit back on the top table.

Personally I prefer to dream, it doesnt mean I kiss arse, it just means my glass is half full, even when its totally empty.

yes, because we have a combination of charalatans and inept operators running the show.

 

[DanB90]

Oh look, Dave and less funny Dave are here.

 

[andy4efc]

Don’t see the big deal having a football man on the board. Helps provide balance.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Our football team is not doing well enough on the pitch, so the smug back patting amongst themselves at board room level is actually a bit pathetic.

Everton aren't succeeding. They still haven't found the funding. Enough of the platitudes and ego massaging. Pipe down and get back to work.

Baxendale as CEO broadening out another member of staff's portfolio.

There's someothing very strange about her role. It seems it's to delegate just about everything that she's been handed to someone else.

This is just a PR appointment for the club.

...I mean turn down a directorship ...not his football position

 

[LostLegend]

Lovely to see all the positivity and optimism in here tonight...

 

[marnie]

He's not saying that and you know it..

This is just a PR exercise for the club.

Baxendale is a light-weight...a perfect CEO for Blue Bill and Moshy
