Its all vanity mate he is in it for the wrong reasons.
He should put the future and stability of our club first but he just likes the idea of himself being the face of everton.
He tells that many lies even he does not know what is the truth but i for one don;t believe there is no financial gain for him in all of this.
He reminds me of a preening peacock so smug and arrogant
Fully agreed, that was my over riding emotion. I didn't want to be hypercritical but I just wish they'd do things a bit more delicately, if they give enough rope then the club will hang themselves in the eyes of the fans, so I'd like the churlish stuff to be swerved as it only makes the BU come across as petty. Didn't like these bits:
The beginning bit, it's an intro to set an influential stance on it rather than being a transcript. It was pretty much their conclusions and selected bits And why the unpaid leave stuff? I don't get why that's important?
Using Blackburn as a positive example. Come on. Saying they might be sat here with Championships in five years time clearly isn't going to happen.
Asking the Yankees to buy us as they hate the Red Sox. So it's ok for Everton to be an American plaything born out of spite? Would you propose them to take over the club based on that anyway? You get laughed at. Not to mention the owner of them is pretty much a [Poor language removed] who gets laughed at by the rest of the US.
The questioning of the Other Operating Costs. Look at Villa and Spurs OOC, they're comparable. As Bill stated the accounts have to go through various chartered accountants and legal processes so it's clear there is no siphoning. He doesn't take a wage ffs, there's other things you can get him on than that, it just makes the BU look paranoid and into conspiracy theories.
Pushing the merits of the Football Quarter. Do they have a mandate from the fans for that or it is a personal interest? Careful ground they're treading there after Kirkby.
Them coming across as "we don't want to work against you" and that. It's complete contrary to how they've been acting and what they've been saying. Large factions of that have been militant against him. Be consistent at least.
They're three blues trying to get some idea of what's going on, sound I appreciate that. He's sat and answered all of their questions and clarified a few things. I could now do a list of what I didn't like what he said and it would be a lot longer clearly. The BU would gain more popular support if they stopped coming across as churlish and smarmy though. If they're professional about it then they could really get a foothold in the support, but they need to be bit more PR savvy.
My thoughts anyway, for what it's worth. I appreciate them having a go.

BK's questioning of the three lads on the proposed Football Quarter was embarrassing beyond belief. He's completely clueless about a project that's been discussed by his CEO on a number of occasions. To not have a clue about it underlines a) how out of touch he is, or b ) what an atrocious job his CEO is doing in keeping the board and Kenwright in particular briefed on matters.
If it's the latter, it's a shocking indictment of the way this club operates.

Will feed them back mate. The only one I would argue strongly for me is the unpaid leave stuff which was put in purely because a huge proportion of fans were claiming this was an all expenses paid trip that had been funded by the club and that somehow they were being "paid off". I would also say the lads were shocked to get the meeting, it was last minute and I think that shows in part. In future meetings (with anyone) I would like to get more heavily involved and hope we will learn from this.
Right tar for that, it could come across as reading like oneupmanship. I think everyone would expect them to pay their own way down there to be honest. Thanks for clarifying though.
What's important to remember here is that I could double that list with stuff Kenwright said clearly. What's important for them to to garner general support, then they have a mandate. What you've been doing, the stance you've took is perfect for this - I would get behind E4C based upon it. Wanting transparency and better communication is no sin. Tell them to swerve the intro or to post a full transcript otherwise it is selected bits they're put together and thus will be down to their editorial selection and interpretation.
At least everyone now knows for sure that we're f*cked, as if we didn't before like.
do you think he will have anymore meeting silas, there is a ****storm all over the net this morning, cant see him wanting more of that ,well done for the lads for going, we could all say we should say this and that but on the spot and in that moment its diffrent.
My toes are still curled at that one. Why say that?

With Bill? It might be a while but I would hope we can meet with Robert Elstone.
He doesn't take petrol or mobile expenses though so it's all sound.

What got me was when asked who he'd hired to sell the club, he said " why would I hire someone , iam the best salesman of Everton football club , what a load of horse **** Bill , QPR have been bought and sold twice in 2 years , what he meant to say is , why would I pay someone when eventually when I sell i want the money , rather than paying people salaries for it ,
What about when he was trying to tell the lads Liverpool weren't sold , he said " no they just sold on there debt" what ever happened Bill there spending 50 million on new players here there and everywhere , who's fault is it then Bill that where the poorest club in the division ??? Who's fault is it the grounds falling down and **** all's been done to improve it ???? , who's fault is it ****e clubs like Wolves can demolish half there ground in the off season and improve it , he has poor poor excuses for everything , the top and bottom of it is he wants a very good profit and he'll hold on to his toy untill he gets it , iam getting to the point where iam thinking would administration be better??? that's how much I despise the man
