What kind of chairman would you rather have for Everton?

Tommy grav

oops

[Chang Elephant]

nice, but do we even have a million fans? I'd say maybe about 200-300k in England, maybe up to 500k Britain-wide. Another 500k outside of Britain?

Too early, should have waited two or three weeks

 

[Bluesnapper]

does he give reasons why he dismisses it? bit disappointing if he doesn't have a good reason.

No reason.

However, more shares in more hands will put his position, and ego, under possible threat.

I wouldn't put it past Bobby to bring it up at their next meeting.

Her family are losing all their money running TNA, that's why all the highly paid big names have left.

 

[Matthew Martinez]

It's not a dim and distant dream. In the Tan thread I mentioned Bayern and Barcelona as models we could perhaps follow. Who's to say we shouldn't become the Premiership's first fan-owned club?

i'd love it. How would we go about it? is anyone already acting on the idea?

Bluesnapper said earlier that Kenwright's not keen on the idea, but other than that I haven't seen much discussion on it.

He must have some spare cash....

Yeah i know, thats why she'd be perfect for Everton.

She'd probably sack Roberto and use thr Wheel of Dixie to pick the team.

I can see the headlines on the OS in the summer : HUGE NEWS, EVERTON SIGN SPANISH WORLD CUP WINNER FROM BARCELONA.

Then it would turn out to be Manuel El Tel , the 47 year old who lives in Barcelona and recently won the world cup in tiddlywinks. And we signed him cause he only wanted £500 a week wages.

small snapshot so far reveals:

25% for Bill
5% for another Evertonian
50% for a Levy-type
15% don't care as long as the money is pumped in
5% eat sheikhs for breakfast



As ever, these little polls give us a good idea what we're thinking. If we double or treble the votes, I'd expect much the same percentage share.

So if half of us want a Levy-type of owner, and 85% of us don't want to risk a Venkys, Gillett/Hicks, Thaksin, Kerimov, Tan, Assam type, nor want to morally go into bed with a Sheikh or Oligarch, then when we do have these anti-Kenwright debates, we have to bare in mind the lack of available options.

Kenwright, being the Evertonian he is, likely senses most of us don't want a filthy/rich i-don't-care type. It's no wonder then he's not had much luck finding a suitable buyer. The options are scarce (on top of the valuation issue, and on top of the issue with Goodison).


Is it still too much to ask for reasonable balance in debates about the board?

An evil but disgustingly rich foreign tycoon with questionable ethics to despises LFC and spends half his money on schemes that pisses them lot off no end and openly calls them eighteenth century insults in the media as well as bidding for all their best players contunually despite rejections. Must have an ex porn star as wife.

if we were 16th in the league bill's figures would be a lot lower

 

[peteblue]

We need a rich foreigner who knows nothing about football, changes our name to Liverpool City and makes us play in red. He then sells GP to tescos and says we can play in the park with jumpers for goalposts. All hail the new overlord......
