My dilemma....

[BlackToffee]

I want Everton to change in terms of the current owners. I believe that they are doing their best, but its not really not good enough if I'm being honest

I'm not totally convinced that selling is within their gift, and i wonder what would be the motive of those buying.

While I would love change, I don't want to join the rabble rousing which seems to think that the seat of evil in the world spawns from the Everton board.

I want a way to bring the majority of Everton supporters under a collective / shared banner, while ignoring the extremes of the debate over the board.

I don't want to be a splitter, but it seems to me that unless we really get our act together around a set of positive actions (not extreme anti or pro boards) we will never be in a position to make change.

Am I spitting in the wind? Is this a naive wish?

Very frustrated of London.

I agree with you mate, I don't want to be in a Mike Ashley at Newcastle situation last year. We definitely need a cash injection but I wouldn't want us to be sold to anyone. I do feel let down by the board in the last 2-3 years though, one minute our CFO is talking about topping Fellaini's transfer fee and the next we can't afford transfer fees at all without selling first.

It's the lack of communication and being treated like serfs that grates at the moment I think, for me anyway. Plus the past financial dealings of the board have been truly awful in some cases.

It's hard being forced to accept that we can't compete financially with the likes of Sunderland/West Brom etc. but that's what it seems to have come down to.

No one wants an Ashley situation but its a luck of the drawer but lets be fair now the club is going backwards now it's time to take a chance and sell the club i fear it won't happen and things will get steadily worse but Kenwrights time is up the fat lady is singing it's time he cut the ear hair and listened.

Exactly, Kenwright came in as a fan and used that to full effect. The way some of the fans have been treated by the board recently i'm sure he'd object to if he was still an ordinary fan. Banning EGM's, telling a shareholder at the AGM that he isn't interested in their opinion or words to that effect last year.

It seems that he's lost touch with the fanbase and treats us like employees rather than the other way round, he works for us and if he doesn't want to answer our questions then he can't be chairman of our great and proud club. We deserve a lot better than that, not just the odd sound bite when things are going well.
