Threat to Board members safety means they wont attend southampton game

[canuckblue]

Don't be a [Poor language removed], if it was a male journo you wouldn't have said "Who the hell is he?"

Uh, seeing as I live in Canada and have no clue who the BBC employs, I definitely would have. Wind your neck in, pal.

 

[blue to the bone]

What threats .

 

[peteblue]

It was a stupid statement for the club to put out. At a time when we need everyone pulling in the same direction they do this instead of just having a head ache or a cold and missing the match. DBB, Bill and Sharpy need kicking out of the club for this crack-handed statement.….embarrassing really…..

Folks don’t waste your insults slinging them at each other, please. Save them for the board

It's actually a smart PR move by board.

Shifts narrative away from years of negligence + incompetence.

Makes them real victims, terrorised by a bitter, aggressive, never satisfied fanbase.

There may have been abusive (even threatening) messages (never acceptable), but makes it sound like widespread + condoned by majority of fans.

And timed for maximum impact.

 

[Wat Tyler]

This has gone everywhere now, all media picking it up, making our fans look like scum.

This is a Horrible thing they’ve done. They have got to go.

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

It's not working mate. Give up.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

The cowardly scum have finally just come out and done it. They've run out of patsy and falls guys to throw under the bus so now they're going to paint us fans as the bad guys hoping for sympathy from the gutter media. At least this finally ends any games they could've played about reconciliation down the line because there's no coming back from this. The meare threat of this protest has already done its job.

just liquidate us ffs, put us all out of our misery.

This is just a small sample of what the board is aiming to do -- split the fan base.

Ah it was Juliette Ferrington.


She's has just tweeted this.

Why has this only come out today? Makes no sense that

 

[Azza]

Oh here is Henry again after his positive support tweets this morning.

 

[Baxtinho]

What would he have said

Who the hell is is that gender neutral CEO no one has ever heard of?.

Was that meant for me? Not sure what the CEO has to do with anything.

It's not working mate. Give up.

Lost me

Just when you thought this Board could inflict more damage on EFC.

The match will now be totally overshadowed by these buggers issuing that statement.

I don’t know how “credible” or otherwise these “threats” are.

But Kenwright et al should have just stayed away and not issued this statement a few hours before kick off.

Especially when the fans are turning out in their thousands to welcome the team to Goodison.

It seems to me we are at the Rubicon now and there is no going back.
