Time to Protest.......???????

[njligernj]

Can I just point out that it wasn't the protests by the Liverpool supporters that removed hicks and Gillet - is was the fact that they had loaned lots of money from RBS who decided they wanted some of it back, thus taking control, putting Martin Braughton in charge and getting him to sell up.

If they weren't forced to by RBS - Hicks and Gillett would still be at Anfield now.

You can try pointing that out if you like mate -- I've mentioned it about five times now (most recently here) and people still perpetrate the myth that the protests worked. So I wouldn't waste your fingers. I don't keep up with RS news but last I heard one of them wanted to sue to try to get the club back ... he never wanted to sell. ManU still protest their owners but the Glazers couldn't care less.

As I say in the above linked post, you can have the board out in short order if you want. Next gate is under 10k and none of us go back to the games until they sell up. Done. No idea who will buy the club -- probably someone just as skint; but we'd get someone different (and we'd probably also get relegated from being so unstable). A bunch of silly little banners and chants (or scarves) isn't going to get the job done in this day and age.

If you do insist on wasting your time with flags and chants I would suggest that there is a heavy emphasis on the fact that we support the players, we support Moyes, we don't support the board. Try to minimize the damage to player/manager morale.

The difference between the RS and Utd, the Chairmen could hide in America, Ashley gave in and put the Club up for sale.

The problem is, Kenwrong and his cronies have to many supporters, people who cant see the woods for the trees.

That's not true. Hicks and Gillette had no trouble in finding third parties to stand behind them to refinance them - such as the Blackstone Group - but they were inundated with a blizzard of bad PR if they agreed to help H&G. RBS had to step in - who themselves were under the cosh from fan campaigns.

It's ridiculous to say those fans didn't have a key (probably THE key) role to play in the downfall of H&G.

There is no point protesting if you don't have an alternative. Becuase even if you are succesful all you end up with is no owner no board and still no money but a more unstable club.

EFC may currently have no money, but until some rich investor / buyer turns up then we have a degree of stability around the place.

As i have said before - it doesn't matter how willing to sell you are if nobody wants to buy - ashley tried to sell Newcastle at a knock down price for a bout 12 months but gave up cos he had no takers.

More unstable than what? One that sells its players off to keep the wolf from the door?

No new owner will "turn up" as things stand. The club's not for sale.

As I said earlier, though, the only realistic hand protesters have to play just now is to demand an injection of cash into the club through widening the share ownership of the club. That's a raw nerve for the board that they dont like to be pressed.

if everton was an animal id call the rspca on bill.

you see these blokes who once had a pet terrapin + love reptiles , so they then think they can also look after an alligator.

they have no comprehension of the size of cage the animal needs , the right food and cost of it...etc.
before long the aligator is living off scraps of leftover dinners , and resides in a 3ft x 3ft unheated garden shed , with skin conditions , deseased to the point that the animal has to be killed just to put it out of its misery.

yes , the owner would cry and say he meant well and he loved the animal , but it doesnt change the fact the owner was selfish , not up to the task and the whole reason the animal suffered.

bill kenwright is a good man - but he is also a complete and utter incompetant cretin who has no right , no recources and no reason to be running a club like ours.he may be one of the nicest and bluest men ever , but he is a failure in so many ways , the biggest failure ever in charge at everton fc (and i include peter johnson)

anyone who is saying "ahh bless , leave our lovely bill alone " is emotionaly blinded to the fact he just isnt and never was up to the task. he's got to go.

Agreed with the vast majority of your post, but for me he's weak, devious and would sell his mum for ten bob. Awful specimen of a human.

Well i for one will do anytihng i can to let this board know how the majority of us feel. Saying i wont do anything because it will change nothing is very poor. NILSATIS NISIOPTIMUM. Remember this next time Moyes has to Loan a striker how's scored 3 in 40 game in France.....

Hope Your happy....

David Moyes is concerned that Everton's current financial position is leaving them behind.
The Toffees boss admits every transfer window generally proves to be particularly tough time for the Merseysiders.
During this window, the club opted to sell Steven Pienaar

to Spurs as he was out of contract in the summer and able to leave the club on a free transfer.
The Scot told the Daily Mirror: "I've not really liked any of the last four or five windows, I've not enjoyed them because they have been really difficult for us.
"A lot of the summer we have been fighting off clubs who want our players. But it's the same for 90 per cent of managers - whether it be the January transfer window or the summer one."
Ambitions

Moyes admits he will only be able to bring in loan signings this month, which could be to the detriment of the club's long-term ambitions.
He added: "There is a worry we will stand still if we don't spend money, but if you have none, that's the way it is, you just have to deal with it.
"Our team spirit can only take us so far, but I have to get through this January window and try to take the team forward if I can with what we have."
Although Moyes is targeting Hoffenheim

striker Demba Ba and Monaco

forward Dieudonne Mbokani to ease the nerves of Everton

fans, he admits things have been much worse in the past.
He added: "There's been times when there's not been an awful lot in the team, but I see us as having some really top players now - Everton's biggest assets play most Saturdays."

If he is that peed off with the situation why does he not chuck his hand in then? Perhaps the board may sit up but I doubt it. We have here the Board backing the manager verbally and the manager supporting the board. Moyes cannot have it both ways, he should be beating BK about the head not speaking to journo hacks. Be clear they are both culpable for this mess the club is in.

Protest, yes something needs to be done but as for KEIOC, they did not win, they were ignored by the board. It was the planning department that stopped Kirkby no one else.

Facebook was mentioned, can anyone tell me what title the Everton group are using on there?

it's not just one bad season though. moyes achievements have papered over the cracks of the boardroom inertia for a long time now.

yep that was a toughy to write tbf.

but johson did win a cup . (granted he was 'the' major a hole and almost killed the club - kenwright can never be accused of being purpously destructive like pj )

but looking at what other everton chairman have acheived in our history , we currently have to say that under bill we have had no success , no success = failure ?

is not fighting relegation , the odd average showing in europe and a cup runner up really success ? or is it where we should be at worst ?
