The Everton Board Thread

Interesting line from OKeefe in the athletic

They are distrustful. So much so they are sceptical about the timing of the announcement of your decision to stay away from Goodison last Saturday.

They are confused by things such as the allegation, relayed to The Athletic and other media by your staff, that someone even put Denise Barrett-Baxendale in a ‘headlock’. More so because it was not reported to police, and since the club initially briefed journalists on the incident, it seems that you have arbitrarily decided you will no longer discuss it.
Prentice was called in to work early on the day to spin the yarn/brief everyone else.
 

Everton's former players are very quiet eh.

Campbell, Stubbs?

Anyone else said anything the past couple of months?
Bill Kenwright plays politics within the club very well

Bill Kenwright is a patron of the former players foundation


What I'm saying this kind of thing allows Bill Kenwright to have undue influence on things within/outside the club

Much like the issues surrounding certain "journalists" that have come to a head the past week or more e.g. Greg O'Keefe and theAthletic
 
I went on the stadium tour at Goodison earlier (was a Christmas present). It ended up as a pure tragi-comic experience, and pretty much confirmed everything we already know (still shocking to literally have the stone cold proof in front of your eyes though).

The club is literally reveling it's pathetic irrelevance. I will say this, the tour guides were very nice people so none of this is meant to be a dig at them because they're just parrotting the party line. But at times across the 90 or so minutes I really did feel embarrassed about the fact I give so much time and energy to such a laughably awful institution.

The maintainence in lounges and corridors isn't great (compared to Liverpool's where EVERYTHING is kept pristine).

In the Goodison Road reception, on a match day, it was explained that they put up on display the opposing team's shirt "so that they feel welcome".

The Florida ******* cup is on display in a trophy case in the same reception, along with some youth cup Unsworth won and that trophy we got for beating Everton Chile As if these are things to show off FFS. Where is the real trophy room?! With all the other league titles and FA Cups? There isn't one.

The away changing room is deliberately small and bare "too make the opposition feel unsettled". Er... how do you square that with what you said 10 minutes ago about wanting to welcome them?

The players only get 3 matchday shirts to wear each per season ("not in a position to have an unlimited supply") . Imagine our players admitting that to international teammates FFS.

Literally ran like a corner shop. No serious mentality on display anywhere, everything instead is just romanticised. Moshiri is nutjob but he didnt create this culture, Kenwright did. And he hired his mate to be the CEO in order to keep things as they were day-to-day.

No joined up thinking, no strategy, no professionalism and no standards for people to have to live up too. Just so, so depressing.
Insightful post. Proves that it's not just on the pitch that NSNO has been binned and that we are being run by amateurs.

The new stadium will have a cabinet with the Johnson's Paint Trophy in it at some point. Always aim high.
