You're quite right, but I didn't say she needs to be fired. I did say that it's highly likely there were better candidates available. (There usually are) Instead, we risked weakening EITC where she was doing an excellent job to shoehorn her in as Club CEO. Nice and cosy.

As for locking in the stadium costs, it wouldn't have been just on her. We have Colin Chong, you know...the actual stadium guy. He'd have been working closely with the finance department and legal. No doubt DBB sat in on a few meetings and gave valuable input from the club perspective and was one of the final sign offs, but to imagine she was in all alone with LOR and whoever else playing hardball is laughable.

DBB was mainly hired to be another 'human shield' for Bill. Like far, far, too many before her who have been handed jobs by Billy Boy merely to ensure loyalty and provide the whispers in the corridors.
This entire club needs a totally professional purge to rid us of our stray dog's home mentality.

she was apparently looking for other jobs and allowed to carry on until she found something. That was back in January I think

Typical of this club and its dumb-ass approaches to business. Where in this whole wide world would you find a business who knew their CEO was searching for other employment, and actually retained their services until they did? Any other business would have had them on 'garden leave'. Immediately.
Laughable!
This was over four, yes 4, months ago, in the capacity of a CEO with access to every detail about business and personnel. FFS. You couldn't make this up.
Doesn't appear to have had many offers for employment either, does she? That alone tells you plenty.
 
If Kenwright has to stay till the ground is finished so be it but I wish he just kept to mundane duties like ordering the stationary and left all the rest to people who have the proper credentials to do the job.
He is far to high profile for my liking apart from Levy at Spurs who knows the name of the chairman of the other Premiership clubs?
I even had to look up the name of the RS chairman.

We have been rewarding failure for 35 years.

In fairness, I don’t. She’s Chong’s boss.

I'd say a lot of people that want her out don't even know what she does, just lashing out!

Perhaps. To be fair, I don't know what she does.

But collectively, they have failed the club and the fans. That last email from the Mosh man a couple of months ago
praising the board, also showed blind faith.

The club's spiral down isn't just a consequence of revolving door managerial appointments, but a complete lack of
foresight and vision. I mean we have this bafoon at the club called Kenwright telling us we've had good times and when other club's board's have a problem he seems to think (they think) what would Everton do? Add him to
Moshiri and I'm saying as a club we're hanging on by a thread. The club's been in decline for years and they seem
to have lacked the good sense to do anything about it. They're not to be trusted with the future of the club.

Yes. When an employee works on a project, why would people reflect on the results and say "wow, their boss did incredible work there!"

DBB didn't lock in the stadium costs, they'd have been multiple people involved, possibly (probably) to a far greater degree than her.

Again, nothing particularly against her, but she's another Kenwright appointee and has to go. The rumours that she's been allowed to continue in her role whilst seeking to move elsewhere is exactly the same as when Moyes kept refusing/delaying a decision on his contract. The club didnt have the bollocks to bin him off 6/8 months earlier.

We need strong, decisive leadership. Kenwright will never provide that. It's all about his Everton 'Family' and DBB, unfortunately for her if one of his buffers. That's her actual role. Another layer or protection around him.

I maybe completely deluded, but I genuinely think that if our owner saw a proper, functioning leadership team in the boardroom capable of making the big decisions he'd be far less inclined to meddle. He's made them the 4th highest paid board of directors in the league (and ours is a small board, person for person were possibly 2nd), for that money, we can attract far, far better candidates.
