The Everton Board Thread

[MikeH72]

Often contrarians masquerade as 'free thinkers' to justify their attention grabbing contrarianism
Not saying that describes you but not saying it doesn't either.
Does it?

This is a very interesting take. Food for thought for sure. Good post mate.

Kenwrights biggest nightmare is that the club would be successful under someone else's stewardship. His ego could never tolerate that.

Well considering how far we have declined under Moshiri he doesn't have to worry about it.

Not unlike yourself a chara, been a great and thought provoking addition to the boards, enjoy your posts!

Aw shucks. I bet you say that to all the girls.

Not that he has worried. He is Chairman and has responsibility for oversight.
He is incompetent, complicit, or both.

I really enjoy your posts mate whether I agree or not, we need more independent thinkers and diversity of thought on here then just the usual group think.

Remember some people pity you because you are different, but the real pity lies with those who are just all the same.

Not often I would say this but that is a load of horsecrap, especially the bolded bit. The fanbase is as united as it has been for a very long time in wanting to see change at the top of the club. We do not need to be pitied because most of us think the same thing and agree with each other when someone expresses these sentiments.

Just where he should have been the last 7 years at least.

Really, not sure I’d agree mate, think there is a huge degree of variance between dissatisfaction with the board Vs owner and degree of application and where protest should be centred and when.

Personally I think it’s academic, the boards gone has been for months, just a matter of time.

Id critique the current protest movement - and know many would to because it falls short - the owner is getting of light.

Nobody wants to protest against the owner really because we go to the wall without him, so their is a tolerance and collusion to his mad cap ways and incompetence and focus solely not unjustifiably is just on the board, it falls short.

If you think unity is just people being fed up with the board - then fair enough - I don’t think it is - it’s a bit binary and pulls it’s punches short in my opinion, it’s not reflective of the tiers of varying opinion across the fan base.

There is a huge variance of opinion right across the fan base in my view and nuance and tiers to it, beyond a binary simplistic in or out, must just be the board and not the money. But the focus rightly at the moment is on ball - the rest will have its time!

I also think that in any situation, there are broad strokes which are easily recognisable and identifiable by the vast majority of people. It is identifying these main points that most of us are in agreement with.

It’s the nuances that divide people and their views on a topic - this gives rise to blunt verging on contrarian opinions so whilst I agree that breadth of opinion is good (after all thats what forums are for) it is sometimes the way the opinion is communicated doesn’t read too well by the recipient

That’s fine mate, but a group of lads, picking on one lad for contrary opinion - mocking the lad personally is wrong. It’s not what this is place is about. As you say if those broad strokes deviate from the group think and are able to pick or bully one lad personally that becomes normalised, permissions are created, it becomes less about the issue and more about the individual, I dont like bullying - especially when they hardly light up the forum themselves and don’t have that weight to throw around.

The opinion wasn’t even that unreasonable, take Peter Johnson - he was a stain on the club - but you will get many people saying he built the park end. The poster was making a similar point about DBB - I might not agree - but it doesn't justify being called a bellend and being personally mocked by about 10 on 1, that’s neither unity or debating, or being a blue for my money.

Me neither….I don’t take too kindly to bullies whether online or in person. I was just making a general point as opposed to a specific post or poster….I had to contend with a poster (was tempted to call that poster something else) the other day stating I was attempting to censor someone.

People are essentially keyboard warriors that’s why outside of this forum and WhatsApp, LinkedIn I’m not in any other form of social media, but the reality is, like in life, some people are wind up merchants, some people’s posting style is belligerent and the content can be deemed to be contrarian. Does that justify directing a specific label at someone because one holds a different view? Absolutely not. I’m not sure about it being unevertonian, all clubs have them but personal insults should not enter the debate.
