Alan Myers leaves Everton for 'personal reasons'.

Is anyone else bored of this? He stepped out of line and has paid the price. He did a nice job but at the end of the day he didn't score goals or win games so why is everyone making a big fuss about it?!

Without decent support staff these days, there is no club to score goals for. No one person is bigger than the club, but the club is much bigger than the first team squad. Even if the board dipped down the back of their collective sofa and forked out to win us a trophy or two, this kind of thing still wouldn't be ok. No one wants an Everton that chews up and spits out fellow blues who don't toe the line.

Much like when the ECB sacked KP and told the fans they don't deserve an answer, Everton currently have the same attitude, this might be a business but it isn't marks an spencers, people don't fund it out of necessity they fund it out of passion, and are quite rightly sick and tired of being treated like the under class, undeserving of any answers from the almighty employers, who were born to such rights that we were not, we should know our place, who are we to question these great men

They genuinely think they're God's gift to all of us, any form of criticism simply doesn't register with them. I do admire them in a sense though, to have performed as badly as they have and still retain the support of so many match going Evertonians is one hell of an achievement.

Yes but that doesn't make any sense does it? It seems a commonly held consensus that our communication with fans this season has been superb.

So on the one hand you're saying that the club have booted out Myers because he threatened whatever kind of cabal they have going on.

Whilst on the other hand you're saying Myers single handedly overpowered that Kafkaesque culture to deliver the wonderful comms we've seen this season.

It doesn't make any sense. Do you think he sat in his interview and pitched the line that he'd continue the dastardly standards of doublespeak, cackling as he left the room before embarking on his mission of transparency and decency? Or do you think he was hired because he pledged to do the job he did?

The club should give the fans the reasons why - to be snapped up by BRFC is making us a laughing stock - the truth will emerge it must be a terrible regime to work under - a born blue doing a great job leaves undisclosed explanation by our club! still looking 24/7 for a buyer - no wonder no one believes this comment by BK!!

The Guardian of the truth are we, everyone is entitled to opinion, even those who would start a thread that those who criticise the club should be seen as cultish although i agree it was best that your thread was closed sharpish.

The thread you refer to was about a cult of hate against the 'Cult of Personality' some blues have constructed over the figure of Bill Kenwright. It wasn't about those who criticise the club are being cultish.

You understand the difference? It might sound subtle, but really it's a very different thing.

Indeed, there's a quote here which kind of sums up Dave's approach.

"But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success."

Aye. It certainly works. No one here has the stamina to counterpoint (or at least calm) him every single time.


Davek mate, you make the forum a more interesting place and you're even right sometimes. But be nice to see you in the Ale House now and then talking about your pet or posting silly catgifs xx

And this is the interesting question:

Would you rather:

a) work for the club you love with bosses you aren't getting along with, bosses who make decisions you don't like?

or

b) work for a club who are a league below and with owners who are universally recognised as worse, but perhaps with bosses who are easy to get along with?


If the answer is A (it must be A), then the conclusion we can draw is that Myers was pushed out the club. But the official statement (nor his Twitter feed) doesn't reflect this, and neither does the timing of the Blackburn job (24 hours later ffs).

So what to believe? Someone needs to come out and tell us the whole story, as otherwise speculation (and agenda) will damage the reputation of both parties.

You're taking an absence of any reason and assuming it was Bill's fault. I'm not sure that's at all reasonable.

Because you can't, or you won't? Buls**t , your imagination, or the truth. You have the answer. Your call. I'm politely asking for a response to a reasonable question. As a gentleman and Evertonian I'm sure you will reply with courtesy.

Let me get this right - you've spent four or so posts requesting I get you the information free to all concerning the Kitbag deal which I've then got to analyse for you and present?

Would you like anything else? Can I go the shops for you and pick up your order, mow the lawn, take the dog for a walk?

You misunderstood the thread, mate.

But regarding Kenwright, I'm on record often enough saying I'll be leaving the pro camp if the summer window doesn't drastically improve our squad.

Strawman retort. You mentioned a "balls-up" and blamed Kenwright. We would like to know what balls-up you're referring to.

A link will do.
