The Everton Board Thread 2014/15

[nil satis]

nope..I think you will find I have been making that statement for over a decade now...

PS...guessing you were a proud Kirkby "yes" voter? What swayed you? Elstone's lies of a video re the stadium? Stubbs? BK?

Anyway...as I have said..same old same old with Bill and the Board. Not bothering with them anymore.

Yes I was a yes voter, don't know where the proud comes from? Wasn't we all just making our opinion as best we saw? was you a proud no voter?

It was a concrete shed though, a substandard stadium. Glad it got called in.

One story to keep an eye on:

Sir Philip Green selling BHS, 15 years after he bought it. May or may not have a knock on effect on us.

Can't see how.

Nah. It was an 'international class' stadium with 'iconic features'.....

'Effectively-free World Class stadium" for 50 mill was what I believe sucked in many I am afraid...

I reckon you're in a very small minority laughing at that mate.

Kenwright is and continues to be an utter disaster for this club. I'd say a good 95% would agree with that.

I completely agree with it. But I think what the others are trying to say is that we can't find a trustable replacement so that we don't end up like Leeds or Portsmouth.

How many decades longer are we going to use that as a reason then?

He may be winding down his business affairs
If so he may become cash rich

I think Kenwright and Co are capable of leaving us in a far worse state than Leeds or Portsmouth are in. This club is being kept alive solely down to the massive TV deals. Where would be if the TV companies had enough and stopped the endless flow of cash. We`ve been aboard the Premier League money train since it set off on day one. Kenwright has been at the helm for a good part of that time and look where it has got us. Still just making up the numbers with the other also rans in the league, still in a stadium we knew needed a major overhaul at least at the end of the eighties. Makes me sick thinking that clubs like Sunderland, Stoke and Southampton have modern new stadiums and have maybe had the benefit of the ever increasing money train for only half the time that we have.

The new latest new stadium story was just a reaction to the other lot starting work on redeveloping our old ground across the park. I can only see us going one way if the current bunch keep running our club the way they are. If only we would let Blue Bill know what a crap job he has done during his time in charge, like we let the manager know when he took Besic off against West Brom. But of course
Bill is always very quite when things are going badly. Season ticket renewal time approaching. A bumper 30,000 + season ticket holders. Can`t wait to hear what they come up with this year. "in advanced talks with 3 potential buyer"; "Potential Middle East, Far East, Chinese, American etc. investor on verge of cash injection", "new stadium details announced". Heard it all before. What I would really like is for Kenwright to just bugger off.

I doubt that the TV money will suddenly dry up and it would affect all clubs hugely, only a handful could pay their wage bills without it, and they'd still be in a fair bit of trouble. Losing TV money through relegation would be the biggest danger, revenue would fall from £120m to somewhere around £50m in the first year and would further drop as the parachute payments fall. Everton would need to drastically sell off quite a few players and reshape the squad very quickly to compete in the Championship and then it might take a while to rebuild a competitive PL squad upon promotion.

Relegation needs to be avoided at all costs
