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

[chicoazul]

The majority of the abuse i've seen is going in one direction, from BU supporters to anybody else who even dares to question their statements.

It's no wonder a lot of people don't support them with the insults i've seen used against OTHER EVERTONIANS.

'Idiot'
'In denial'
'Call yourself a blue'

etc.

That's the key for me mate, people should be allowed to do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, that's why we smashed Hitler all them years ago.

I've seen just as much of it in the other way mate being honest. I'm a tremendous fence sitter so this isn't said with any bias either.

You do know the BU scour this forum for insight. They will be using that now ffs.

Honoured here.

Everything that could have been said has been and I'm very much under informed than most on here, however...

We're stagnant. We didn't so much as hit a glass ceiling as rammed an elevator into a titanium roof. I grew up watching a great Everton team setting the standard and would like to see it again. It's not unrealistic either. We're still a very big club with good support, decent enough structure and a good set of players, even if in my head were the best team in the world.

I also believe were not far away from the tipping point. We have invested sensibly in good players and had a manager who has got us playing consistently for the last ten years, repairing some of our reputation after too long as being a laughing stock. There will come a point when the asset stripping overpowers the ability to produce or buy decent players to keep the momentum coming. Once that happens were very much likely in for an almighty fall.

We've also been conditioned to be happy with top eight finishes. With the status quo at present that's about right but the way the club is ran it could be so much better. There's been a whole host of documented failures and mismanagement from those who run the club. I don't doubt they have the club's best interest at heart but they should be accountable to a board of directors and shareholders, of which they've prevented any dialogue.

I'm sick of having a fractured fanbase as it's doing no one any good. Wouldn't it be better if the BU done their thing, as fellow blues, and were allowed to get on with it? I can see why some are having a go back as they've been a bit antagonistic towards non BU supporters in the past but they seem to be trying hard at this. At the heart of it is a gang of lads (and I've met some of them) who go to the games and want the best for Everton where we have a board who are happy having us as an asset to eventually sell rather than an investment to grow. We should be careful not disengage fans who are not BU supporters but do want a change of Everton ownership. They're plenty of them about. Perhaps in time they'll gravitate towards the BU but it's up to them.

And those who are happy with how things are then leave them to it. You shouldn't have to be categorised, you're in the most important category and that's being a blue you lucky [Poor language removed].

There's lots of stuff open for debate about how the club are operating. I don't see anything wrong with issues being raised and their actions evaluated. If you want us to win things and improve we need a change of ownership and if that isn't forthcoming then the current lot to be accountable for doing the right thing by the club until it's time to move on.

We've got a common enemy across the park, we don't need to turn on each other.

Now lets hold hands everyone and praise Budha ffs.

Good post mate. Even handed.

Personally, I think there's a cap doffing mentality amongst an unhealthy number of blues. They're grateful for "Bill" and dont think it's right to expect more than midtable. It's all about knowing your place. And they're proud of that attitude too.

The rot defo sets in from the bottom up. Bill and his fellow carpet baggers won the battle against expectation a few years ago. All they have to do is keep Moyes churning out midtable finishes and it's a nice comfortable life sitting on their shares waiting for a time in the future to get a stadium scheme finally sorted to cash in on. No rush for Bill and co. They can leisurely wait for that day knowing they're safe as houses. I'd say we have another 5 to 6 seasons in the doldrums and then we might see some movement. Of course, if Moyes rediscovers his dignity and ambition enough to walk away from Everton then things might change before then.

5 or 6 seasons ? Funny that, i'm sure i recall you saying the club was going into admin not so long ago.

And what happens if moyes walks and there is still no change in ownership? I really do fail to understand how anybody could want this. He achieves more than most each season on next to nothing and I mean money here. I agree bill is holding us back and with him in charge top 8 is considered good. Wrongly. He needs to go. Agreed. But moyes???!! Really. What happens if he goes and no change happens, I think players may then want to move and its a downward spiral. Tell me please, working under the SAME conditions as moyes who would you want to replace who could do just as well or better. You think he should go cause you think he has taken us as far as he can. It's not him who taken us as far a he can, it's the board. Why do you want him to go. Confused here.
