its obvious to me that the council are doing everything in their power to hinder everton football club - whilst seemingly doing everything in their power to facilitate liverpool fc.
That some evertonians would sooner (and let me stress this utterly pointlessly) attack the everton board and chairman rather than the villains of the piece amazes me. Whatever you feel about Kirby, if we are to buy players, redevelop goodison or move to a stadium within the city we will need every spare penny we can get our hands on.
Laughing at a potential 10 million loss to the club because it proves some petty little point about the way the club is being run (or at least that is how some of you interpret this data) and makes you think you are intellectually superior is hardly going to help proceedings.
At the time we invested in Finch Farm, the proposal to develop Bellefield and build homes on it was a financially sound one. We were in the middle of a housing boom. Initial consultations would have told us that planning permission was highly likely. That the club didn't predict the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the collapse of housing prices is hardly a fair accusation against it- most governments round the world didn't. That the club didn't predict the souring of the relationship with the mendacious LCC, and it's consequences can hardly go against them either.
THESE BASTARDS ARE HINDERING OUR CLUB AND HELPING OUR RIVALS FFS.
So what do we get?
I expected to see on this forum, a call to arms.
Evertonians mobilising, in reflection of the team spirit that Moyes has built in his squad - to fight the great goliath that is Liverpool, so too, we as fans, rise to fight the LCC's blatant political decision making with letter campaigns, writing to our local MP's, demanding all the details of the planning board to be released and compared to other proposals AND IF ALL ELSE FAILS - every Evertonian in Liverpool signing a statement that we will vote out the local authority at the next opportunity for the treatment OUR BELOVED club has received.
still, its probably easier to just **** kenwright off isn't it.
I wish some of you weren't our fans because you are an embarrassment to the club.
(and its not just this issue that LCC has [Poor language removed] our club over with)
