The Everton Board Thread (Inc. Bill Kenwright / Blue Union)

[davek]

What was the jist mate? basically the end is nigh etc?

I dont know - I'm in Scottishland.

 

[Neiler]

...and muscle in on your speciality? No chance.

Ah its old news mate, i only predict the future. Ive heard a lot of people say they were dissapointed with HK, obviosly he was trying to be non partisan to a partisan audiance, really only Howard may have got away with that.

Have heard a lot of people asking is this where their donations to the cause went, most thought it was a distraction from the speakers they really wanted to hear as he wasnt with the we hate the board agenda thing.

Great that HK turned up. I'll wait until I read the accounts of people who know their stuff until drawing a conclusion as to how the day went.

only stayed for an hour, dont know what the fuk howard was doing there telling tales about john bailey ive heard 20 times before .meeting started off very well ,soon has hk came on that was that,

Have heard a few people say the turnout was disapointing at approx 400, with no match and free admission, while Kendall was also there - i suppose he would get something like that on the circuit anyway. 1% of say a game consisting of 40.000 - not quite the voice of the "fanbase" as they like present themselves.

Apparently the smoking gun was the rise of operating costs, largely it seems down to running Finch Farm rather then Bellfeild.

A Spurs Vs Everton comparrison was done, which is a strange one for me seeing as they sold players for 30 mill and spent 5 mill on in the summer. We can but hope to aspire to be Spurs.

Shakes head.

Let's face it though mate, if they had a pic of Kenwright with his hand in the till you'd still say his shit dont stink.

You want Everton rubbish forever.

Haha abuse, the perfect diversion from relative points.

Not at all really, i wholly accept its time for new ownership, direction, board etc. I couldnt give a flyer whether Bill goes or stays tbh. The context is impotant to me though.

Im just illustrating points, analysing and crituqing here. Ill be honest and say im not a fan of KEIOC and am suspicious of the BU because of the Keioc annexe of it. But they do themselves more harm then i could ever, so its really only a waiting game for them to drop into oblivion IMHO.

I find your black and white thinking, quite simplistic and worrisome if i'm honest, most things exist in the greay mate.

Sorry mate, I dont buy this 'middle line' you're peddling. You oppose anything resembling change at EFC because you - and a lot of others like you - are happy with staying in the PL as also rans.

Well you can only know your own mind i suppose and i know my own, again black and white thinking is your problem - you want change for the sake of change black and white, the context of change is what important to me - greay.

You seem to have a need to define posters into a stereo typical black and white category in your mind again black and white, to be honest - thats your stuff. You see the world through your own eyes not everyone elses. But lets stick to the points here.

When you talk about change, it wont be done by this process of the brave 400 today. If you think they are going to make Everton great again - thats cool - cant see it myself - who knows though they only had 300 in Sparta. Hardly 1% of say a match 40.000, they are not even of the radar of the club or the majority of the fans IMO.

I dont think they believe that either, to be fair. They know that only when the club is in dire straits will the majority accept what they're saying. Does that mean they shouldn't speak out npw and offer analysis of where we're going wrong and how, at that stage, we must change?

What's their crime by the way? That they dont have £300M, or that they dont have a stadium tucked up their sleeve? Typical response from the kill the messenger brigade.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Good God you two...

 

[Sharpys top lip]

Neiler, i dont get you. What do you want for this club? You are so pro-kenwright it scares me.

Are you fooking blind mate.

Please, wake up lad......

That's a relief, I thought that massive rise might be caused by something like a bad business decision. But if it's to do with selling our original facilities then leasing new ones at a huge multiple of what they cost to build, then no problem.

I'll leak it to you tomorrow, Dave.
