Im not a fan of how the protest movement has been managed or focussed - no - for many different reasons. That's different from not wanting change. The two things can exist together, so lets not make things binary.

Its what i was getting at really, protest wont hurt someone in Monaco or London, todays decision making shows that.

What would hurt the decision maker i.e Moshiri?

If it was me, you target his pocket - heres the dynamic. Moshri, cant get credit to complete the stadium. Thus he has to raise £100 mill from MSP in risk desclualation, before he can go back to the market and raise and additional £250 mill. Its essentially like buying a house, before the market will give him £250 mill he has to have a deposit of £100 - the market wont lend him or £350 mill straight up - that was the original plan.

The market is however very jittery. If something were to happen, like a boycott of games, commercial operations or a picket placed ont eh club - then creditors get jittery, they may look for additional security, equity, higher interest or not lend at all - somewhere before all that the majority shareholder is faced with a choice, either make a decision to get easier credit or stick to his guys and take on the extra cost.

That's an example of an escalation.

It wouldn't be the first time, some how i was in Glasgow in the early 90s during the Celtic boycott and i was in and around it allbeit i was very young and it worked then - it brought down the board and eventually forced a change in ownership.

So we can rely on your first hand Celtic experience for guidance? At last a clear way forward amidst endless hysteria. Well done.

Everton FC is destined to languish with this man still lingering on. Other clubs appear to have a mission and fresh approach. We just continue to stagnate.

It's as though we are still attempting to find our feet and purpose in the Premier League - which was created 31 years ago.

I guarantee a large percentage of our match-going fans would still clap this charlatan if his bloated mush ever appeared on the big screen again.

i mean why can’t he get it? he’s caused this and it’s like her saying F U to all of us
 

I really don't get it.

The people just below Kenwright and Moshiri in the hierarchy are culpable, but the man himself isn't. I want to reiterate, and I hope our public campaigns convey this message - nothing against him personally, but this is a professional, business decision - if you are found to be failing then you have to change drastically or leave.

they're trying unsuccessfully to spin the story that he's a long-suffering, tragic hero who has given his life to Everton, but we still don't appreciate him!
It's really unfair to the fans. We don't discount the work he's done, but there are 2 sensible, rational approaches he could have taken

1) Yes, fans, I hear you, I understand your criticism, and this is how EFC is taking action. (OR be brave and say 'Survival in the PL is our objective and this is how we will define success'.
2) I accept that the responsibility is with me, and the board, and this is what we are doing - a)Dramatic changes or b) we resign

It's pretty simple
1. Fans criticise
2. You respond with your answers

To be honest mate, I am at a loss in the wake of these announcements.

Moshiri clearly doesn’t pay any notice to the strength of feeling from the majority of fans towards Kenwright.

I am even more bemused that MSP, Bell and Downing appear to have agreed to or failed to argue anything like strongly enough against the retention in any capacity of Kenwright.

And given the support Moshiri had previously given publicly to messrs Barrett-Baxendale, Ingles and Sharp, and the gushing eulogy about them having worked tirelessly etc etc… why were their resignations accepted, seemingly with no known effort to dissuade them ??

Furthermore, it makes me wonder about how much today’s announcements are potentially related to the allegations that prompted Carlo Ancelotti to take out an action 🤔🤔

There are so many questions around the Club in general its hard to focus on anything in isolation.

Spot on with Mosh, we obviously dont have his ear as much as we may have thought or he is just proving what we all believe that he really is just a front or an idiot, neither of these possibilities is "out there" really.

The MSP thing is a proper head mess! I cant see any rationale behind this other than the short transition possibility then he goes?

I must admit been distracted away from the Carlo stuff so haven't paid it much heed to be honest, will go back and have a look again and see.

Its a devastating situation, as it looks like they plough on regardless with no regard for any outcome other than securing Ground Funds, what use is the ground with a bankrupt and relegated club?

feel for you guys who raise your heads and I'm guilty as many of saying "Its alright someone else has this" but i cant continue that route if i want change and christ I want change!

I was only in my 20's when felt compelled to write to Johnson and what i believed to be the crap show that he was party to and that was a powerful motivator and yet I have sat back way too much this time and even if my little voice ends up being insignificant I need to at least try.

As I say i'm Sad at the demise now, more than angry, is that old man syndrome kicking in and resignation? I wont let it be to be honest but it almost feels inevitable now!

Good Times mate!

If i can do anything let me know, we have MK Blues and a good few Northants lads that would like to think would help if we can!

Fight the Good Fight an all that!
