Chris Matheson MP being gagged by Elstone, EFC shareholders meeting moved to the Winslow pub

[D410]

As much as I would like Elstone to be replaced, surely he has always taken his instructions from Kenwright in any case? I don't find it plausible that he would elicit an independent stance on this, he has his place in the structure like everyone else.

It would be hard to countenance anything of significance happening or not happening at Everton without at least tacit approval from Kenwright, and now, Moshiri.

They are all acting in concert with Elstone the one sent out to do the bidding.

The 18-month period in the run-up to Moshiri's acquisition of shares clearly resulted in cementing good relations between him and BK/RE. Even if the latter two remain in place only until Moshiri's options are exercised, I still would not be surprised at that point if we don't see new faces.

We need people in the boardroom capable of taking us into the 21st century as a club and ensuring delivery on the stadium, not a continued love-in between them all, to the clubs detriment.

Correct, RE has been given the instruction top down in my view and would have spoken with Bill directly on the matter.

How unfortunate that they are forced to hold their meeting in that sh..hole of a pub.

I hope they know to ad an extra hour on the meeting as it takes ages to get served.

Why stop there?

I doubt any major/controversial action isn't at least noted and relied back to Moshiri first by Ryazantsev. Isn't that what he's there for?

This has got bills chubby fingerprints all over it, elstone has only ever been bills faithful lapdog

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

It's rare for me to dislike someone so vehemently when I don't know them personally, but Elstone always seems to manage it

Get out of our club you utter Jambo

 

[Carlito]

A year into the new regime, and the club is still dedicating time to covering for Kenwright's porkies.

 

[Roger Milla]

Is that teacher still banned for daring to question the club over the Free School?

There was a reason i separated the posts as that wasn't a response to you. My point being that many on this forum have said Matheson would have been sued had it not been for parlimentary privilege. Yet here Green was happy to talk to the chief sports reporter at the BBC about an article that said the manager of Everton football club had to go to green to buy/sell players and indeed for his own contract.

Never mind asking for a retraction or suing the reporter he was even happy to give quotes.

But by selectively quoting it distorts the issue whereas Green catergorically denied formal involvement in the article.
With regard to the letter, that was in respect of TBHL not BK personally. BK was not the major shareholder in that entity, the Greggs were.
The interesting one has been omitted from discussion to a large extent and that was the alleged 15m facility by Tina Green's co (the name of which I've forgotten) which was allegedly in place to match Gregg's 15 mil cash injection.
With regard to Matheson being sued or not, I don't know or care, think my only comment on this was I wonder if he would repeat the claims without Paliamentary privilege.
You're going to believe what you want, I'm going to believe what I want and I don't think onevwill convince the other to change.
Agree to disagree?

You've got incredibly defensive here for no reason, I'm not trying to prove it one way or another nor was I even talking to you hence why I separated it from the reply to you.

The point I'm trying to make is that people are over emphasising the parlimentary privilege side of this.

The issue isn't what is said in the quotes it's that he gave them in the first place to a high ranking reporter making some pretty heavy allegations. Allegations that were never retracted, why is it presumed that Matheson would have been jumped on when Bose wasn't.

Don't worry mate people who deal with him feel the same.

There was someone from the ESA on Radio Merseyside earlier calling in to highlight what had happened at the club re the Matheson invite.

Looks like they're determined to pursue this.

Not being defensive at all, just pointing out that the full Bose article included the bit which stated Green owned no part of the club and that he gave advice to Kenwright.
Said in my previous post, not bothered one way or the other about Matheson, I think he was grandstanding in the select committee and I think the club have turned a molehill into a mountain.

Smacks of top down orders from Bill to RE.

Absolutely

The simple fact of the matter is that one Saturday afternoon of protest where fans demand his removal is all that is needed to solve the problem too. Moshiri certainly ain't gonna hang around and let Elstone ruin the progress were making and risk a rift with the fans.

At the AGM when Kenwright asked for a vote of confidence in Elstrone carrying on as a member of the board a few voted against it but just put their hands up to vote for him, so the majority of the shareholders see nothing wrong with him.

I voted against him, as a proxy voter.
