Sharpy’s return

His status as one of the stars of the 80s glory teams is never going to be in doubt.

But that shouldn't mean an accomplice in the Kenwright years of managed decline gets a free pass to redemption.

He knows what he has to do to earn that. But I think he's the type of arrogant character that'll never clear his throat and ask for forgiveness...and if he ever did it'd be along the lines of a non-apology apology.

Great player and great servant of the club on the pitch; just a wrongun in every other way.

No way back IMO.

He was a non exec director for about one year. Kenwrights managed decline was over decades…I think people are going overboard on this tbh Dave. We are not the bitter RS and really should cut him some slack…imo….
 

He was a absoloute bell end with everything that went on, threw the fans under the bus and that was disgraceful

But ............ I cant help but remeber Sharp the player in our greatest ever team rather than Sharp the [Poor language removed] on the board, so im glad hes back and time to move on
 
Just noticed from the latest Mr Drone video he's got an evening with Bob Latchford at The Bentley next Friday.

There's defo some push to bring him back into the fold before next season.

It's going to rely on small venues like this and other drip-drip appearances.

If people want him back in the fold they'll get that. Evertonians are basically sentimental fools so he and his agent (and the club no doubt) will get their way.

As far as I'm concerned he can GTF for all time.

He cant do what he CONSTANTLY did (not just headlockgate) and get a free pass back.

And he's the sort who'll resist the apology that he needs to (legitimately) give himself any chance to get credibility back at all.

He's probably figured out he still needs this club in order to finance himself and his family for the rest of life.

It's completely cynical and stinks to high heaven.
 
Whether he is on the Goodison pitch or not for the last game isn’t really going to matter greatly to the vast majority of people there, he is a small part in a long history of the club and ground. On his roll as a director I think he was a fool, albeit a willing fool. Better business minds than his looked around for something to appease the supporters and they picked him. I have no doubt he was flattered to be a Director and I am hopeful that he thought he could make a difference for the better. He didn’t, let’s be honest he never was going to be able to make a difference, the rot was complete by the time he was appointed. A better man than him would have resigned on principle. I would like to hear him speak about his time on the board and what he thought he was doing and what he thought he actually achieved. When all is said and done he is a footballer, they are not generally known for their intelligence and wise decision making, personally it won’t affect me if he is there or not. If I was lucky enough to be there and he was on the pitch I wouldn’t clap him but nor would I boo him. He probably should be allowed to say goodbye to the ground where he did so much for the club but he doesn’t deserve any adulation from the supporters. On that basis I would let him come back.

If he’s on the pitch He’ll be expecting it though mate , even his interview a few weeks ago he made out like he’d done no wrong and was playing the victim

He is a victim, but not at the hands of the supporters, he is a victim of his own ego and of Kenwright/Moshiri who tried to use him to curry favour. Most footballers brains are in their feet, he strikes me as not the sharpest tool in the box, pun intended.
I think both sides of this argument are valid, but either way I’m done with discussing it.
