Right, there are just too many fires that need to be put out, and the current board are unable to do it. I believe Adi's (Bruce Wayne) idea of tapping into the fanbase resources is a wonderful idea and I would love it to happen.
Bottom line is we need investment, badly. We need marketing investment, financial investment, people with proven records in business acumen, people who are working with their heads and not their hearts.
To get this investment we need to have a stadium with great corporate facilities. That is paramount, essential, number 1 target. Not Moutinho, not M'bia, not Milito. A new stadium. If it means we struggle with little money and a bunch of rag tags, then I'll be happy, because its means to an end - and we've done well so far.
This is also leads me onto what I think has happened. The club never expected KP to be called in, (why???) so they were expecting to spend big, and use KP as a selling point. It got called in, and the selling point was no longer there.
Which really just illustrates the point I am making, we need to get a new stadium. The importance of this is incredible. We are like Man City, we are in the shadows of a great club ( however it pains me to say it), we have a similar fanbase, we have had a similar recent history - all though we have not fallen as hard as they did. The difference is, they got given a new stadium, and that has attracted new business.
The club needs to streamline the whole affair, pull in all the outsourced work, tap into Robert Earl's knowledge of marketing, and hire staff that are well trained and believe in one thing. Working for Everton should be like a religion, it should be a dedicated job. I know if I got that job for Everton when I applied, I would have treated it as a gift from the gods. To some its just a job.
Where it should be much much more than that.
