Appeal for witnesses...

[magicjuan]

There‘s an amazing amount of super sleuthing going on here. Here’s my two cents for what they are worth. What do we actually know? We know there was a club statement (the timing stunk) and we know this has been given a little more detail by a journalist crediting the detail of the physical interaction to unnamed sources. We know the advice to stay away was from security advisors and not the police who are ‘working with the club’.

It is now incumbent for the club to release a statement - not releasing a statement to shed further light on this is irresponsible. Not releasing a statement also undermines their the statement they released on Saturday. I understand the cynicism that this is a distraction technique from the Bill Kenwright ‘playbook’ but the reality is it may be genuine. Members of an unhappy fan base can at times act in ways which are not appropriate. I would ask this simple question though. Apart from the obvious demands for evidence, if there had been an allegation of this when we say, fighting for Europe, or at another club, (where there would be no protest) would people have been so quick to dismiss of question the veracity of the allegation?

Hearing the club are going to issue a statement tonight.

I take it they have managed to finish the deep fake of DBB getting throttled by 4000 rabid fans then...

We could make our own deep fake, all we need is a van, some gaffer tape, rohypnol and Bungle ?

I think they will tbh, there’ll be murder & they’ll come out with something like “I told you so”

Probably mate, they have no shame.

Don't tell me, Kenwright was given a wedgie by a group of Country Rd scallywags

Nah, Kenwright will do a ham acted coronary scene from Macbeth in a Kenneth Williams stylee while pointing his finger at the Park End " infamy, infamy..."

Niasse!
dear Yannick
I knew them well...

I bet they won't. What an absolute disgrace to the history of this club.

11 days late? absolutely yes!

"The guidance was based on intelligence gathered and information received" lol lol

K'inell has Kenwright been watching Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy again. The only intelligence lacking at Everton is in the boardroom. Horrible brainless morons.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Imagine having this story spouted by the talking heads and puppets of State Media as absolute fact without an ounce of evidence required or any questions permitted.

You must be new to planet earth in the 21st century......

Well that’s how not to lead in a crisis, gang.

[Spadge Vernacular]

Fancy trying to make your own supporters look like a gang of thugs.

"The Club will not be making any comment related to specific historic incidents."

Because they haven't got a leg to stand on.

I don't get the bit why they're saying Southampton game was classed as high risk in consultation with Merseyside Police. Wouldn't Merseyside police have come out and confirmed this was the case when they made their previous statement this morning?

Plus if it was classed as high risk, wouldn't there have been a bigger police presence after the game just in case the result went tits up.
