Sweeney embarrassed himself and the FAB the way he got vicious and personal with the Esk on a space the other week. The whole thing had been about informing listeners what exactly the FAB is about and what motivations certain people like Pablo (Squatter) and Dave Kelly had for getting involved when they are vocally very anti-Kenwright and have been for years. They and Jazz spent an hour painstakingly explaining that the FAB needs the fanbase to support them and not tar them if the club does something stupid/bad. Thought it was a really good listen, until...
The Esk called in and to be honest made a bit of a daft point. He said the FAB needs to take Moshiri to task for his appalling mis-management. How are they supposed to do that exactly? Sweeney though went too far, instead of answering in a calm and rational way he got very personal and nasty with the fella. Why should anyone support a person whom speaks to another fan for asking a question? And why is he even on the FAB, nobody elected him as far as I can tell. He gets a spot as a representative of the official Everton Supporters' Club, and because he's mentioned in those Ian Ross emails it's led to the accusations he's a club stooge. That he went in the way he did because the club hates the Esk for publicly revealing just what an absolute state we're in.
There's some great people involved but personally I am not yet full convinced there aren't people on there who, if not plants, are in the club's pocket. Jazz stepping down I think is a good thing (hope his personal situation isn't serious). He seems a very good bloke but that Sky interview last year just ruined him in the eyes of so many, he said the exact wrong things, "I'm happy with the board", etc. He inadvertantly made it look like the anti-board feelings wasn't widespread. I hope Dave Kelly becomes permanent chairman, he has a line of contact with Kenwright and will be the best person to keep ramming home the point that the fanbase won't begin to trust the club again until he goes.
