Elstone refusing to allow shareholders who are also Blue Union members into meetings

[edge]

If Kenwright had the finances he'd be the perfect chairman.

Yes and if hitler had not invaded russia we would all be speaking german by now

 

[Stend]

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.

Instead of pursuing the current board and putting a negative outlook on the club why not spend time looking for investors? The blue Union are carts mate and that's that. Most fans aren't happy with being skint but at least we ain't doin a West Ham or Pompey. Things need changing but it needs to be done properly. Most Evertonians understand that.

Pathetic that, really is.

Since when was it Evertonians sole responsibilty to find investors?

Anyway Remember, to make a sale, you need a willing seller.

It's not, but instead of putting a negative outlook on the club why not do something positive. Why would the club allow these people back into meeting when they stabbed them in the back last time. To spread more negativity over the club? They'd be absolutely mad.

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

It's the same board that initially threatened legal action against the Blue Union but never took any.

It's also the same chairman that said he wouldn't sell Rooney, not even for £50m, then two months later sold Rooney for £10m up front, £10m the following summer, and the rest in drip drip drip payments that took 4 years for us to finally get.

Blue Bill indeed.

Have you asked them all, mate?

You do know they were asking for the board to appoint a professional group to sell the club? Some 13 years after it was supposedly put up for sale.

Do you know the ins and outs of the Rooney deal? Was it not a good deal for both partys? Rooney was bound to go sooner rather than later. We could afford to keep that calibre of player.

That explanation of how January went is a bit interesting (emphasis added):

Keith Seymour was particularly interested in why the club apparently leaves dealings to the last day. Mr Elstone gave a brief overview of the process the club follows, starting with the manager and his scouts highlighting players they are interested in and going from there. Players, Fer for example, where highlighted in the first couple of weeks of January and discussions were well advanced with around a week to go of the window.

Its not exactly news, but it does appear to be confirmation that the club starts a transfer window not knowing who it wants to buy.

If most didn't there would have been a bigger push towards that. The fact is most Evertonians DO want the club to be sold to the correct buyer. However in reality who would want to buy a club with such debt and such a poor stadium? It's a massive massive project.

What's positive that they should be doing then? Go on, you've clearly got an opinion on the Blue Union. Tell us all what positive things THEY - a fans group, made up of teachers, plumbers, council workers, totally ordinary people who happen to be Evertonians all of their lives, season ticket holders for decades, and one or two who happen to be shareholders - who care enough about Everton Football Club to actually form a group to scrutinise what's really going, and the way in which the club is really being run.

Many of the same group who were also apart of KEIOC, who successfully legally exposed the lies of the club and the lies of Tesco in a public enquiry, causing the rightful collapse of the idiotic Kirkby stadium, which probably would have ended up with our finances in an even more perilous state than they are right now.

A club which had £20m in assets 10 years ago, now has no assets bar players, no longer owns it's own training ground, or parts of the Goodison Park footprint, has no revenue streams having outsourced them all, has a debt of £46m, and yet is supposedly a club on the market for £125m. It's also a club that's only idea for the future is a deeply unpopular and unrealistic groundshared stadium with Liverpool, and has a chairman that has told all employees not to make any effort to make the current manager stay, despite 2 months left on his contract, because 'if he wants to stay, he'll tell me'.

So pray tell, what positive ideas should these men engage in?

Bill didn't seem to have a problem with it being recorded.

Bill, “I’m with you; I’ll be your president……sell the club…did you write it down for me? Simon, “I’ve written it down for you Bill, Keith Harris is going to sell the club ” Bill, “well write this down as well,

Find investors.

Yes, I know the ins and outs of the Rooney deal.

Bill Kenwright repeatedly went on record, on camera and in press, saying how he would not sell the player for £50m, to anybody. Then did sell him - for far less.

The money from the sale was reinvested in the team. In the same way that any money David Moyes has spent in his 11 years at the club has only ever come from players sales. Not one penny put in by Kenwright or any of the board.

But that's good business. You make profit you reinvest. Our board members especially Kenwright has not got £25m to throw in every season. The only clubs that have are owned by billionaires or are much more marketable than us.
