[Simon Buttle]

Let's just try an build a timeline to this shall we.

12:25pm - 5Live start to report on statement - they go to Juliette Ferrington at Goodison who is reporting on the game. At 12:27 (skip to 27 minutes in broadcast), Juliette Ferrington states, "I understand her car was spat at and jostled, so fans were trying to physically move the car after she was trying to leave after that Brighton game, she was in the car her husband. There was some very sexualised and misogynistic language used towards her."

She makes absolutely no reference to DBB being "physically manhandled by a male" - despite this surely being the more serious of the events that occurred out of the two. Surely that would have been the major talking point instead the broadcast chats about the statement for a moment then going back to talking about football in the Championship.


12:49pm - Julitte Ferrington tweets what she has just said on the radio.

And that's it. All from 'club sources' via effectively 3 journalists. Two of whom are well in with the clubs media team and David Prentice.

the whole thing is just one big mess tbh, there is a section of copy that talks about fans misbehaving outside the ground supposedly written by Greg but according to him he has never seen it before and denies writing it.

Ah good spot mate, thanks for posting, so some one /company employed by the club……I presumed it was the Feds.

Begs the question, with reported death threats etc - how the club is handling these threats and allegations - I mean surely reported death threats need to be reported.

...and evidence provided and subsequent charges levelled at the culprits.

If they say they have received tangible threats then surely they can prove such a statement?

 

[Tigger]

I’m surprised more hasn’t been made in the media of the alleged death threats against Kenwright.

I can believe this. But not a mysterious headlock

What if it’s true though?

The first account i seen on Twitter who posted it, was some random with about 90 followers and it snowballed from there, dont forget the rags like the Mirror and Echo love a negative story, dont forget if a lie gets repeated enough it becomes true in the minds of some

 

[Muggins]

I couldn't give a monkeys about fake stories. Everton are staring into the abyss. That's all I know.

Surprised by this Dave. Mainly because the club have created this “story”…

Hard to file criminal charges against someone that apparently nobody saw until it became convenient for them to use such a story against the fans.

They are handling these threats and allegations by using it as shame tactics on the day of a planned protest.

Think about it, instead of coming out and clearly showing all the reasons why they should remain as custodians of the football club when under heavy criticism , they instead do this. Isn’t that a bit telling in the grand scheme of things?

 

[Big Sams Undies]

If only there was somebody at the club employed to deliver clear messages from the club to the fans and media alike in order to prevent things turning into the utter shambles we’ve seen over the last 24hrs.

Oh no, we have exactly that and he goes by the name of Richard Kenyon. Unfortunately, like our revered “board”, he’s currently MIA. Another spineless rat.

NSNO

I dont care who's to blame. I want survival. I see everything through that prism.

If it continues a civil war in this club that will relegate us for sure I dont want to know.

Please let the next banner in Upper Gwladys be a photoshop of this

The board should get arrested for inciting hatred.

Let an investigation take place and see what happens

If the club are making things up and leaking it to the world, then I think survival of the club is the last thing they care about. It stinks of self preservation.
