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

[Mvflusk]

Once again the Blue Union wash their hands of all blame, just like the email hacks. We know exactly who it was.

Will they deny there was a video recording?

Also what is civilised and dignified about shouting "I'm the number one Evertonian not you Bill" through a car park fence? It was a bunch of Bunion stooges looking for this kind of reaction.

So by your own admission you dont understand.

Mate you need to look into finances and look at what he an the board has done to this club.

There killign us...

Good statement, I think BK realises now that a lot of evertonians (not all as some of yers keep stating) are not gonna put up with his and the boards bullsht any longer, the last league home games attendance confirms that, some may feel the blue unions efforts are a waste of time but as sharpy says the pressure needs to be kept on him. Keep it up lads, always a believer in if you stand for nothing then you'll fall for anything.

Despite his soft outer shell, this feller is as hard nosed as any person you'll ever run into. Some people hear the luvvy voice and daft anecdotes and think he's someone who'll crumble under pressure. No chance. He's counted 12 long years go by and he wants his pound of flesh when a sale comes around. He'll be looking to get a massive profit on his shares (which is why he's been buying up all that become available of late) and he wont care what that means for investment into the team from a new owner. Everton is a business venture for him first and foremost.

My opinion: lower half table finishes for a couple of seasons might bring the type of unbearable pressure that'll see him off Johnson-style. This present position the club's in? He's in clover, because he can get enough mugs to clap him for mid-table mediocrity and survive with ease - and he knows it.

Agreed mate, but it's not hard to understand that this board has asset striped our club....

 

[The Equaliser]

For the benefit of younger members:

Kings Dock - BK's determination to remain in control by not accepting Gregg's dollar cost us the fantastiv opportunity to move to a stadium which most people were in favour of.

Fortress Sports Fund - led up the garden path by BK to believe that investment was forthcoming, when in fact it was used as a leverage to remain in control of the club.

Desperation Kirby - attempted to railroad the fans into agreeing to a move outside Liverpool in the 'deal of the century' all for a mere £6m per year. When it collapsed he admitted that he didn't feel right about it. Wasted £4m on fees and promotion.

And they're only the big bits. It's been one failure after another.

Neither is he, nor seemingly anyone employed by the club.

Yes but understanding the reasons as to why they might do that and weighing up whether that's the right thing or not, or what other options there were... well you see, I repeat -- I'm no expert.

I've found that if I just talk about things I actually know something about then I don't look like a moron.

I'm happy to let the experts duke it out though. I'm content waiting until the hot topic is either music, grammar or homoerotic flirtation to have my moment of glory.

 

[Azzurri]

It's funny how the same fans that campaigned against the Kirkby move at the time are now using it as a way of saying 'look at all these things Kenwright has messed up' and are now gutted it didn't happen.

 

[Muggins]

Davek is right about Bill. He's a hard nosed businessman holding out for his dollar.

He looks like a [Poor language removed], but if he was a [Poor language removed] he wouldn't be where he is.

And if you think that's stupid, check this : the only way he'll leave, is if the media turn on him. If there was a way of educating the media on what the fans know, and a small few are brave enough to use their power and actually report it, we might possibly, maybe, stand a chance.

We'll make ourselves poor trying to fight him the conventional way. Gotta think outside the box.

Tell me I'm wrong. Please.

just a few points concern me about the BU statement. Mainly attention seeking use of words like. . . . . . . . . .
dignified
disrespectful
deliberately divisive
without any substance
many thousands of evertonians
civilised and dignified
civilised manor
contemptous attitude

now read through again, mainly first half of statement, and tell me that the use of those words in the context they are used are not laughable. The BU have shown no dignity, no civility, have been deliberately divisive, and shown a contemptous attitude, and made accusations without any substance, and as for the "many thousands of evertonians" please lads, many hundreds maybe, but many thousands? Do me a favour.

A stroke of what ?

A stroke of genius.
