Threat to Board members safety means they wont attend southampton game

[MisterJ]

Do you believe everything these rats put out ?
If there is a threat been made ( which I honestly doubt ) who is to say its not a scummy kopite done it for kicks.

Not one mention til today.....lies.

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.

Nobody has any proof Charlie that the board was threatened if they attended the match.

And the opposite is also true to be fair mate.

 

[Khalekan]

What a shame Sharpie is part of this cabal now.

 

[navidson]

Is this just a massively over the top way of getting this protest cancelled today?

 

[Lapeno77]

Potential for another Everton first. Some of the protestors could be picked up using the new anti protest laws passed by Priti Patel

I don't know why this surprises me.

We're dealing with the decision making of a 77 year old man - who was a tit back in his prime.

It's a known fact that old people lose their marbles - this is a clear example of that.

Him orchestrating a victims stance to the media screams of an old, senile, ex-corrie actor.

 

[NathDogg]

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.

I said earlier, I didn’t think I could get any lower as a blue but this has floored me.

It’s the timing of it, just despicable.

If there have been threats then that’s despicable also, but can I seriously believe that there weren’t any issues last season with cranks threatening members of the club, when Benitez was here or during the dreadful games and performances last season?

How come they weren’t told to stay away due to the awful fans last season???

So tired, sad and sick of this board and everything they have done to us as a club and fans.

 

[Kylito]

Surely any credible threats would turn it into a police matter?

No mention of police involvement seems very odd.

 

[canuckblue]

Strange how Kenwright's biggest backer here is nowhere to be seen.

 

[leslad]

Bill watching the match from his Führerbunker specially designed to look like the boys pen

 

[blulouie]

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

Wake up lad

 

[efcste97]

Idiot Idiot so called "fans" getting us to this point making these sort of threats. I doubt even one of them has ever ran a business.

This gets us nowhere. Other than adding further tension ahead of an important match.

Absolute cretins.

I's advice from a 'security and safety adviser', if this 'advice' came from the police I would agree with you but it's obvious the board have decided to put out this statement to paint protestors in a bad light, it's been picked up by major news outlets as well. Sad to see the lies working on our own fans

What a shame Sharpie is part of this cabal now.

Has been for such a long time, I remember back in his radio city presenting days he would never slag then off etc and this must have been pre 2010.

 

[ChesterBlue]

They need to provide some proof of these threats if they’re going to make that accusation.

 

[zook]

Absolutely no transparency from the board about the club’s direction and the reasoning behind the decisions they make but they’ve absolutely pounced on a chance to make themselves look the victims and get it plastered all over the media
