Threat to Board members safety means they wont attend southampton game

[funkygibson]

I need to say thought it’s really funny when you think about. The board been told to stay away because of some threats of violence. Maybe 1 or 2 idiots have sent a email or tweet. Yet was okay to still have Rafael as manager and attend the games when he had bedsheet’s literally outside his house and getting threats. I’m sorry they are cowards and it's an act to flip it onto the fans. Blame the fans is our new motto!

Like them or not, the police don't issue these warnings lightly.

I'm all for getting rid of the current board, who at best are incompetent and at worst...

However, threats against them are crossing a line.

Where does it state police mate?

It's worded as a club risk assessment.

I hope the usual anti board mob (seems a more appropriate word today) who have been campaigning on every little negative for 15 yrs are pleased with themselves that it has come to threats of violence against the board.
You have brought utter shame on our fanbase. I am absolutely disgusted

Go and suck bills todger you freak

Sorry, but who the hell is she? Never heard of her before.

that’s bs it would of been said by now

Why someone from the charity is on the bloody Everton board anyway is beyond me, she should resign with immediate effect.

 

[canuckblue]

Go away

You first.

Operation blame the fans

I hate the fact that they feel threatened this way. So damn uncivilised it's worthy of the redshite. I'm embarrassed to be associated both with the club and its fanbase right now. The board might not be doing things right and I'm not a fan of where we are but this isn't the answer.

Moshiri, who I am ambivalent about, is a human and subject to human emotions. If Moshiri gets alienated or peed off he could destroy the club so easily that fan owned New Everton fc could be starting at the bottom of the pyramid next season and Bramley Moore flogged the RS. Imagine that.

Unpopular post of the day this it seems.

Let's say for arguments sake some idiot sent a threatening letter (correspondence could be many things). That's bang out of order.

I'm not sure releasing a statement is the smartest idea though. We now have accusations of it being made up to blacken the fans. If it is that's really low, but let's give benefit of the doubt here. Some of ours are not below it, so it is possible. Think bedsheets and a certain Spaniard in recent times.

On the other hand, if the board quietly decided not to show there'd be shouts of cowardly shithouses all over the shop. Which ironically, they're getting anyway.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

No matter the truth it belies a club utterly at odds with itself and in a bad bad place. What a sorry sorry mess.

Cowardly bunch of juntas.

Why release a statement? Why not just quietly tell them to stay home?
Rhetorical question I guess.
Sad times.

Exactly, there's no need for this statement.

There is no future for any of these clowns now, unfortunately they've made it nigh on impossible to find a suitable buyer so we are stuck with Moshiri whether we like it or not.

Heard this break on 5Live and the reporter at Goodison says they were told by the club spokesperson that DBB car was spat at and rocked after the Brighton game.


Surely if that happened it would have been all over the media. I've seen nothing about that happening anywhere.

exactly

 

[leslad]

I've never been so appalled by the club.

There's zero transparency in that statement - I doubt it's credibility.

There's no obligation to attend, just don't attend. The statement for me is for one purpose, and that's to spin the narrative.

Pretty disgusting.

Three hours before kick off as well - not exactly the boost the team needs is it

 

[Clarky cat]

"A real and credible threat to security" - you want names? Not sure what you are confused about

I want to know if the police are involved and if not then it’s obviously nonsense.

One positive out of this is that this thread will weed out every single last kopite lurker left on this forum.
