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

[NubiBlue]

Don't get why some posters are so anti-Blue Union. Don't like them don't join in. People accusing them of all kinds just makes said poster look biased at best, but usually stupid. If Everton are relegated this season I don't doubt some would blame the Blue Union.

I'd love to point out the various arguments as to why some don't like the BU, such as they think they represent the majority of fans, but actually don't but in all honestly I can't be arsed. As to don't join in, you might have noticed it but this is a debating forum for, oh, let me see, Everton fans. I think the Blue Onion have their own site, this is not a BU forum, so anyone can join in.

As for getting relegated this season, not a chance, so the Blue Onion is let off.

Same as some posters who are very Blue Union mate, they're likely to have the harshest of views. Both are as bad as each other as they won't give any ground.

There's more and more people the middle who are turned off by it all. Which is a shame. There's a lot of people who are anti board but won't get behind the Blue Union.

Fair point, id like to take this opportunity to thank them for the unbelievable pressure placed on the club, that has brought about the recent interest from prospective buyers.

Interest in the club from potential buyers, whether genuine or otherwise, appears to have heightened significantly since the initial protest and associated press coverage.

And yet they find a way of bringing the Blue Union into it no matter what.

Thanks for the condescending tone by the way, I had know idea this was a forum for all Everton fans.

Keioc dont sound too hopeful on the takeover talks. They do have a warning about this feller though:

"...the American, Jerome L Simon, should be viewed with caution by wary Evertonians; he has been quietly purchasing shares in Everton and has a proclivity for buying distressed companies and leveraged buyouts"

The poster doesn't do them any favours mate, it's divisive. It annoys me that they're going down this angle and turning off a lot of blues who don't like the board but don't like the way they go about things. Shame.

I thought they were reasonable, tbh. I think there was one part where they were stating that some people might reckon the board should not be recompensed for their shares because of lies and deceit etc, but they ended up saying that wasn't their view and that they thought a fair price might be circa £100M for the equity in the club.

To be honest, I admire their restraint. Personally I think the time for niceties is well gone. These directors are just hard faced [Poor language removed] who need telling and brooming asap.

The article is fine, the poster I didn't like. They should be seeking to gain popular support amongst the fans (I was hoping they would try anyway) and visuals like that don't help.

Fair enough mate. It's in the eye of the beholder I suppose.

Oh aye defo. You could say it's aimed at the club but some will take it the wrong way. It frustrates me.

Anyway, the sh*ts going down. The next few weeks should be interesting.

What poster? The ghandi one?

If so i think its a pretty lame reason for someone not giving them their support really.

Me, kimo sabi? so who are "they" aren't "they" Everton fans? Now you see why the tone is a bit condescending. I'm an Everton fan who is not a member of the BU, not a "they".

So, is Davek Dave Kelly? I'm only asking because I always assume he is, and I might be being unfair there. I would like to know for certain (might even march down Spellow Lane tomorrow demanding the truth, in fact).

No two different people. Davek is the jihadist, just right of Genghis Khan with respect to Everton issues.

Before you respond Davek, I am trying to do you justice.

My original point was that the Blue Union seem to get blamed for things that have had absolutely nothing to do with them. Which is plain silly.

If you do not support the Blue Union I suggested that said person to not join in, as in take no part in the BU's meetings/marchs. Not to not join in debate about them as you seem to have taken it as this is a forum for all Everton fans as you so kindly pointed out to me.
