the protest isn't against the team FFS. they are behind the team and manager 100%.

Don't see it myself mate.

They don't seem to know what they're doing.

A -- They are unprofessional -- recording private meetings.

B -- The guy in charge uses examples of marketing in Asia -- when he very obviously doesn't know what he's talking about

C -- They want an interim board to sell the club -- no names put forward

D -- Now they want to employ a firm to find investment -- So spend more money on finding potential buyers despite it being well publicised that Everton are for sale -- indeed not a single person / entity has said otherwise.

So, my question would be -- how do you know they are supporting the manager and the team -- they don't seem to know what they are doing or trying to achieve.

Will this march have an adverse affect on the manager and players -- who knows but it WILL affect them.

Allegedly. BU have categorically denied the charge and it can't or won't be proven by the club. Besides, the club were made well aware before the fact that the meeting would be reported and had agreed to it. What difference then does it make even if it was recorded?

I haven't read this one. Do you have a link, please? I'm born and raised in SE Asia so I think I'm in a fair position to judge.

C -- They want an interim board to sell the club -- no names put forward

Agreed. This bit needs fleshing out in a bit more detail. At the very least, it's made the public more aware that things aren't as rosy as they thought. The media are slowly starting to ask the more painful, pressing questions that we need answers to.

So, my question would be -- how do you know they are supporting the manager and the team -- they don't seem to know what they are doing or trying to achieve.

Because they have said so? Until they go out this afternoon and prove otherwise, I give them the benefit of the doubt that they will do as they've said and get behind the team 100% the minute they step into Goodison.

Will this march have an adverse affect on the manager and players -- who knows but it WILL affect them.

You say who knows, then conclude that it will? Why should it? The protest isn't against them. Players want to win silverware with their club and play in Europe. The protestors want the club to win silverware and play in Europe. It would seem that the goals of these two groups are in alignment. If I was a player I'd not let a protest that's got nothing to do with me affect me. As long as I go out and the crowd are behind me, as the BU have said they will do, then I give the best performance I can on the pitch and let the chips will fall where they may.

I doubt all these people would be behind it and spending good time on it if they didn't think it wasn't worthwhile mate.

EVERTON TILL I DIE · September 10, 2011

did anyone see the protest. was there many people backing it

Roztitute · September 10, 2011

Saw some clips of it on Sky Sports News. (I live in London, couldn't get to the match).

Bunch of blokes holding banners and scarfs. Not sure how much support they had.

kenada_blue · September 10, 2011

Heard it was about 300+ people.

Anyone thinking Kenwright doesent have any backers should have heard the clapping he got when he was on the big screen

Aye, seen that.

That was well staged, all those clapping were club plants clearly.

The lad behind me was shouting SHOOOOOOOOOOT everytime we crossed the halfway line.

Thats the kind of person that claps, besides, he was getting booed, then they stuck the RS score on the scoreboard, thats the only reason people cheered and like sheep they continued.

Many of the clappers were probably, like myself, clapping purely because they were more fed up of the whingebags than the board.
