Is It Really Down To This

Darth Toffeeman · February 13, 2013

I think this January window was hugly significant in where the club wants/expects to be.
The most important thing is that Bill Kenwright owns it and will keep hold of it at any cost. I still cannot believe that we allowed the opportunity of the Kings Dock to slip by and we also sold Rooney that summer. If he could survive that (and the mis-truths of Kirkby) he will happily carry on should Moyes and Fellaini call time on Everton.

We are the only mainstay premiership side to have recieved no investment and we are told there are no buyers or people willing to inject revenue? look at the money QPR have thrown away recently and imagine what Moyes could have done with it. Is their ground better than ours? But we don't want to do a Portsmouth -- *bulls**t
The greatest stunt the board have done though is make the next generation of fans accept mediocraty and plucky underdogs tag. The Everton I grew up with was all conquering with a state of the art stadium. How have we allowed this to happen?

Always remember too that BK is an actor. He played a staunch Liverpool fan in the liverbirds (I couldn't do that for any amount of money) and convincingly too.

This next 12 months or so are critical and should Moyes et al leave the fans really must rise up and rid the club of those who will see it fall to it's knees.

I love Everton with all my heart. The club feels is like a member of my own family.

But I have to say, there are few bright spots on the horizon at the moment.

The particulars have all been stated before but I see us fading into obscurity (even more so) as soon as Moyes goes.

Say Baines, Fellaini and Moyes did all go this summer.

We´d get a new manager, probably Martin O´Neil, Mark Hughes, Peter Reid or that mediocre Martinez.

The new manager, whoever he was, would blow any transfer money as soon as he could with the difference that unlike Moyes, it would probably be one short term, flavour of the week type players instead of on prospects like has been the case during Moyes´s reign.

In three seasons we´ll be in the same boat as Aston Villa.

And I hope nobody thinks that by Moyes going Kenwright will be that much closer to giving up control. Kenwright´ll just appoint a new manager and sit back. When performances and league placings start to drop he´ll hold his hands up and blame big bad football capitalism (and he wouldn´t even be wrong).

If the club was sold, all of the shareholders would make millions. Don't you think think they would be interested in that?

The clubs for sale but no body want to buy a club with a derelict ground. As simple as that.
