Imagine seeing a Spurs fan devalue 'The People's Club' motto without knowing just how hard and well the people within Everton work hard for their community.
We do alot wrong on the pitch and in the transfer market but the one thing this club can't be questioned on is what it does off the pitch. They go way above and beyond. If you're going to come on and give you're opinion while being a Spurs fan
@H.H. (Which i've never had any problem with, other fans of clubs have come on and been fine), at least consider what you're saying. You have no idea as to why we are called the people's club, what that means and how the club treat it's fans or even it's workers. Everton don't bin off those with troubles, they support them (rightly or wrongly they support). Plenty of cases to show this along with a couple of people i know, Big Dunc being one of them, was on his arse, Everton got him back up on feet and he's developed as a coach. Youung players who have been involved in bad crowds they've supported. Players who they are releasing they don't just bin off, they keep for a period to ensure they acn find a club and not be suddenly in the wilderness.
I don't pretend I know what affect this new investment has on current shareholders, however like anything anyone buys into, this would have always been a possibility. One strategy/financial change or whatever it is does not change the fact that the people's club is very much an appropriate motto for Everton football club.
The club does remarkable work for it's people. Do not try and suggest otherwise.
I remember back in around 2002/2003, somebody contacted Everton about my dad's near-fatal crash (he missed t he match for 2/3 years). They sent a signed pennant of the squad through with a nice card. An absolutely MILE BEYOND what they need or should do, they weren't asked for it, the person were enquiring about a potential match ticket in the wheelchair section.
They do alot wrong on the pitch as I said which infuriates me greatly, but are remarkable at many, many things relating to its loyal fanbase and it's workers.
