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

[Silas]

Evertonians for Change commend Everton for taking,albeit very small steps in the right direction to change the way it deals with fans.However,we are not convinced that certain questions relating to the future of the Club will be open for discussion at the fans conference.We intend to be in attendence outside Goodison Park handing out leaflets with pertinent questions on for those Evertonians who have been invited.

You ginger?

No ! But have lots of freinds who are.

Its the net though. Most of these people wouldn't stand up on match day, in a pub full of blue shirts and start shouting and calling Moyes a ginger prick if that came on the telly. They'd mumble into their sleeves knowing full well they get a corrective slap otherwise.

I once got the evils off a fellow fan in the bullens for screaming at Pistone. Although in my defence he was having the mother of all shockers.

Our kid got a mouth full once for having a go at Radinski . I mean a real go.

Moyes is turning into a right Uncle Tom. He's Kenwright's house boy.

What a shame, he used to have so much ambition...now he's just ok with a few positions better than mid-table.

It's an initiation. The old head's teach you how far you can go.

The original Everton way.

Like I was always taught to stay until the final whistle and clap the boys off. None of that sneaking out to beat the traffic crap that ruins the last five minutes of games.

Whatever Davek,we know you,we know were you stand but you do cross the line weather it´s to just get people invovled in your pointless obsessive negative rants ,or wether you just do it to prevoke I don´t know and frankly don´t care.Your out of order and anyone else would be on a warning I think.

NSNO - Now apply it to yourself, liberally three times a day, between meals and whenever you feel like moaning.

It's a GOT standard now for someone to come on, a Motto quoter and give it Nil Satis Nisi Optimum as if that win's the argument. I don't believe the motto implies we can forget about economic realities, the perils of new ownership, recessions, or the difficulty in selling a business model on a crumbling stadium with little room to expand.

Most of us want new owners (I do provided the new owner is given the kind of brutal scrutiny not normally afforded to people buying football clubs) , but people calling Moyes a ginger prick, jesus. What's the point of kopites if we're going to **** our own off?

If you look at anything with a strict NSNO you can be critical. Only the best? Honestly mate, Dixie Dean was sh!t. NSNO - he should've scored a hundred goals that season. When we last won the league, we should've won the quadruple. When we beat Bayern 3 - 1 it should've been 9-0.

How about we add the caveat (within reason) as opposed to la la land.

You're right. Which is why the club should ditch the Latin motto. It doesn't apply anymore. It's like seeing Preston North End refering to themselves as 'The Invincibles'.

Nil Desperandum should be the new motto....something in keeping with the Kenwright era Everton.

A warning for telling the truth?

Ok.

Never understood that,pointless to my mind .But then I can define support.I think some should look it up just to refresh thier memory .

Selling to the first slimy shyster to ooze out of the woodwork with a business plan wrote on the back of a leveraged buyout mortgage application ala portsmouth, united etc, is not NSNO either . How about the other great new owner successes in the league- Liverpool (went from a champions league club to a top 8 club), Villa (spent a **** load last week they were a few points off the drop before one win saw them jump six places into respectability), Sunderland (fighting relegation), Newcastle (a premier league yo yo club with delusions of grandeur), west ham (poised to be relegated).

We want a new owner but altruistic owners that dont want substantial returns and can work round a crumbling stadium and a load of debt dont grow on trees.

Apparently Moyes praising the chairman he has to work with on a daily basis whilst highlighting the need for investment - as opposed to downing tools and stamping his feet - isn't the practical thing to do but the negative thing to do . I just cant see that.

lets put it to bed now .

Stick to the footy Moyes, you ginger prick.

You've embarrassed yourself there, mate.

I was quite cynical when I clicked on the link but I can't disagree with most of their aims.

Certainly Everton has traditionally struggled with transparency. And supporters should have some input into the running of the club.

As for a change in ownership; well I want to see us win. It is looking likely short of Kenwright winning the euro lottery that this isn't going to happen with the current ownership, but I think in our haste for change we should be very sceptical of buyers that emerge because almost all of them;

1. Want to make a massive profit - increased ticket prices, merchandising prices etc
2. Some of them want to use nasty **** like leveraged buyouts.
3. Financial irregularities can easily see a club go the other way, (see portsmouth selling all its players and getting relegated)
4. Many don't give a damn about the club or have any sense of history about the place.
5. Investigation needs to be done that the person buying the club is in a better position than the current ownership to provide a platform success and assurances must be given that sees investment guaranteed.

Ok.

The truth is subjective. Especially when you are on an Everton forum, calling the current Everton manager a ginger prick.
