Does Charity Get In The Way Of Success?

[Baines' left foot]

Should EITC be scrapped or at least wound down? There’s a line of thinking that suggests that it takes too much focus away from the footballing side of things, and that the resources could be utilised better.

We’re hardly in a position to be building and running free schools etc. when our summer transfer window didn’t even eclipse £1.5m.

Is it time the club realigned its priorities and shut down EITC? We are a football club, after all.

Discuss.

Everton FC and Everton in The Community are two separate entities.

However we’ll EiTC performs shouldn’t impact on Everton FC.

The way we hand out 3 points like a warm bowl of soup does need addressing.

 

[blue to the bone]

No. They are completely separate.

We should take note of EITC as it shows when you employ competent people in a role they’re suited for that it is generally somewhat successful.

Baxendale was brought in for the charity and now ceo of the club. Big mistake

[sageyefc]

The charity is the only successful thing about this club

No. They are completely separate.

I don't think they are which was the problem with promoting DBB to the board. We chose to make that the main focus when we did and it has cost us heavily since as there is no-one there to really scrutinise the football side of the club.

All in all EiTC is great and should be celebrated, but the club needs to be restructured so the football matters most.

Iwobi is rubbish cos he's worried about little jonnys terrible maths

No but the club do use it as a shield sometimes but they now have the stadium for that.
