The Everton Board Thread

There’s also no guarantee Kenyon would be involved in running the club either. All reports have said he’s linked the parties together and he may be involved, but nothing for sure

It stinks of an American group coming in, spending nothing but getting the stadium done and using that in a property deal

All very Coventry or Birmingham

no to these cowboys

@Azza ?

This story fills me with dread. The last thing we need is to go from moshiri playing football manager with our club, to some privileged frat boy from America playing football manager with our club. We are doomed.

@Azza ?

Didn't Mikhail Kaminski sing 'Here come the Hot steppa'?

Fans: Wow, this owner has been terrible and done just about everything wrong and amazingly almost got us relegated for the first time in forever.
Also fans: It would be so bad if he sold the team.

I mean I have no idea how things might play out and if any of them are competent. But if one were to base it on the past judgement from posters here and current bed wetting Id say its going to be a smashing success and title within 3 years.

This is a factual statement in amongst a sea of just pure guesswork in this thread.

A synopsis of beautiful country, sounds alright

A coming-of-age story set in modern day China centering on the friendship between an American and a Chinese boy who meet while training with Beijing’s Junior National Tennis Team.

Chase Robertson arrives in Beijing as a fourteen-year-old boy still troubled by the recent death of his older brother. He discovers a country in transition; a society in which the dual systems of Communist Era state control and an emerging entrepreneurial culture exist in paradox.

A top ranked junior tennis player in the U.S., Chase joins the practices of the Beijing National Junior Tennis Team and is immersed in the brutal, cut-throat world of Chinese sport. It is a world in which gifted children are selected at the ages of six or seven for specialized sport schools where they devote their entire youth to the pursuit of athletic excellence and are paid as professionals by the state. Athletes find themselves compelled to do anything possible to succeed—right or wrong. Those who fail to reach the pinnacle are cast aside and are left facing a desperate future without hope.

In China, Chase gains access to a culture rarely open to Westerners, and soon finds himself caught up in secrets. When his closest friend and teammate turns to him for help, Chase is faced with the dilemma of what to do when friendship, rules, and morals are in conflict.

A big-hearted debut, Beautiful Country explores a friendship against the backdrop of a quickly changing country

Wherever did he get the idea?

feels like that scene in taken where they parade the kidnapped girl in front of the wealthy men to bid on except the girl is replaced with bramley moore stadium as the enticing carrot on the stick for the potential suitors

Heres the thing that always got me about that... why did he need a sports car to chase a canal barge? A bike would have done.

Some will be blinded by it all because they dont like Moshiri.

I liken it to the spoilt child who wishes for new parents because their current ones bought them the wrong game console for Christmas.

The reality is the new parents that come in may not be so warm and kind as the ones thats been replaced.

Maybe they dont stock the cupboards with treats anymore like the ones before, maybe you come home from school and the Xbox has gone on Ebay, the following day the TV has gone on Gumtree and they are being asset stripped by parents who couldn't give a toss about them and need money for their own gains.

Man, that metaphor got away from you.

Strikes me as an odd signing if indeed it happens, though given how Iwobi and Holgate has performed since Frank arrived ,I'm inclined to trust him.

If they are the same or worse than Moshiri, we'll be opening Bramley Moore as a Championship side. These are the stakes here.

 

[BlueStevie35]

If they are the same or worse than Moshiri, we'll be opening Bramley Moore as a Championship side. These are the stakes here.

Or if they have a better business acumen than Moshiri then we’ll still be a PL club for BMD’s first season

I genuinely struggle to see how they could do much worse.

We could still be championship with Moshiri, lets not ignore the fact its a good possibility we might struggle next season again

I am still firmly in the position of being open to a change because I don't think a new owner could possibly make as many poor decisions as Moshiri, and I'm happy to roll the dice.

You want to bet mate, I saw yesterday that Kenwright has managed to weasel his way into the discussions, probably trying to spin some fabricated yarn to make sure he gets to keep his beloved chairmans seat.
