There is no such balance to be had in this debate: one side has the authority and power to achieve things (investment, a stadium, a sale) and has achieved nothing/zero/nada/zilch on those fronts; the other are a pressure group with zero power but are concerned 'stakeholders' (the club love using that word...until people 'get above their station' and ask awkward questions of them).

Again, I have to say it saddens me that you'd use some ridiculous numbers game to slap down the concerns of supporters. I suppose it's to be expected like. You want Bill in charge for years to come because you're comfortable with Everton being pretty shit. I know you'll come back now and say 'please dont tell me what I think', but it's pretty obvious that you feel that way because anyone with an open mind and a bit of ambition for the club worked out and abandoned the fat headed fraud years ago.

So in your last two posts, you say the BU bring about a positive influence then contradict yourself by saying they have no power, i think you have read a few to many Karl M books before bed mate.

Your right that is exactly what i would say, im all about change, what you cant fathom is that is that people want change but differ on the context of change. Your all out, but then you have bigged up the likes of WH, Pompey, Blackburn, Villa etc in your time and dont seem to have learned a lesson. I really dislike the polerization of your and other view points, it just splits the fan base to be honest. Its not Kenwright in and or out, you need that debate to exist or the provision of that platform. To be honest the majority of the fanbase lie currently in the middle of a spectrum between Kenwright and wanting change. I dont beleive any fan wants Bill here for another ten years, though i dont believe anything but a misguided few are ardenent supporters of the BU which is pretty reflective in anything they have tried to do.

Its a broad spectrum mate, unfortunately your on the fundamentalist end of it.

The poll run on this, a moderate, generally light hearted fan site shows a clear majority want him out. Many may not believe in protest or marching but plenty have voted with their feet due to the direction the club is heading. Sub 30,000's against some of the best sides in the league shows this, though I appreciate not all are down to views held against Bill.

Bill has been a constant in our boardroom for two decades. These two decades have been arguably the worst in the history of Everton Football Club. When he came into the club he sold himself as a safe pair of hands until a more qualified buyer arrived. He's proven himself to be neither. We have gone from a net assets position of Circa £25m to net liabilities of £35m. All our assets are mortgaged to the hilt and we haven't spent money not generated from player sales for 3 years.

We have seen the era of PL clubs selling at unprecedented rates completely pass us by with not one credible link to a sale. Despite being 'best of the rest' for god knows how long. Clubs with equally poor or worse stadia and much worse fan bases have been sold, why not Everton? A price of C£150m, that's why. A ridiculous amount when you consider what's being offered for sale. The man's not even just trying to get his (the Greggs, now Greens??) money back. He's trying to make a massive gain. That would be fine if we hadn't been stripped of everything we own, but we have so why does he expect to make such a sum on a club with virtually no assets.
