Everton Shareholders Association met with Robert Elstone last night and have published the minutes of the meeting on line. This is one of those shareholders' meetings that the club somehow thinks is a valid replacement for an AGM.

http://www.efcsa.org/2013/03/12/meeting-with-robert-elstone-minutes/?

The minutes are rather unremarkable, apart from this:

Mr Elstone suggested that before we commenced the meeting he would like to explain the Club’s position with regards to Shareholder Association attendees at these meetings and specifically his objection to the attendance, at this meeting, of Dave Kelly.

He reaffirmed what he had said to John Blain in a telephone conversation on February 1st and subsequently in an email exchange with Dave Kelly. Additionally Mr Elstone and Mr Tyrrell shared with Blain, Gabbutt and Seymour a prepared form of words that documents the position of the Club.

“Mr Elstone expressed his disappointment that the Executive were intending – against his repeatedly stated wishes – to include in their group, members who are active in the Blue Union. He reiterated that he will not engage with anyone who has played a part establishing or promoting that organisation’s activities.

He said any further attempts by the Executive to include shareholders who are known members of the group in dialogue would be a further breach of trust he has placed in this process and result in his immediate withdrawal from future discussions.”

I didn't realise Kim Jong Un was our new CEO. Who the hell does this guy think he is?

'Everton Shareholder' = someone who has gone above and beyond the normal fan, someone who has put a considerable amount of money into the club to own a share. So they don't like the board - tough! They should be entitled to attend a Shareholders meeting. Can't take criticism. Can't answer questions properly. Have no idea what's going on. And now banning people from meetings, who have every right to be there. Our club gets worse by the day.
 

Nothing surprises me anymore with this club. Pathetic. I'd pull out my financial support if I was Mr Kelly but then that's a catch 22 because they'll probably just sell them to a clapper.

To be honest mate. I just see them as spy's within. I don't agree with the current board on certain things but I don't like the way the Blue Union go about their business.

Is this the same blue union that secretly recorded a meeting with Blue Bill?

Never been proven they recorded it lad.

Anyway, what was Bill expecting the leading lights of a fan protest group to do? Keep it to themselves and not tell anyone anything bar he makes a lovely cuppa and he prefers hob-nobs to rich tea?

He knew all along they'd release something. He just didn't realise he wouldn't be able to bullshiit them so easy.
 
The problem is that the Shareholder Association has no standing in law as far as the Club is concerned, therefore it can chose whether or not it is prepared to meet any individual or organisation.

Until the shareholder meetings (AGM orEGM) are re-instated by the Club they can chose who and when it meets with any shareholder.
 
What a joke .so if you dont agree with the party line you cant come.. So that leaves us with a meeting were we all agree to agree sounds like nik is right who is arsed about a meeting like that
