Graeme Sharp

[Berniethebolt]

Might the angriest Evertonians that like the dominate the narrative and hate on others to create a protective echo chamber assuring their self important right to speak on behalf of the fanbase, whilst preventing accountability for their nefarious self important egos? I mean it’s just a game isn’t it lads and Sharp probably knows loads more about inside Everton than we do.

Probably? Definitely

The man pinned his colours to the wrong flag. He isn't the first and won't be the last; to err is to be human. Graeme Sharp is guilty of being a passionate Evertonian, and I cannot condemn him for that. Walking the corridors of power in the footsteps of some real Goodison Legends must have been as intoxicating as it was alluring, something most of us mere mortals will never experience. We are the greatest fans in the world of football, and to forgive is one of the greatest virtues, what say the mob?

If you do something once then fair enough, can accept a mistake or bad decision or whatever and move on (unless it's something particularly evil like)

But if you do something several times or fail to do something for many years then there's repercussions isn't there.

Many years ago he made the comment about a few fans who were protesting. 2 men and their dog or whatever. There's other comments I believe, but don't recall them exactly. I don't really need to go so far as call him a traitor or stooge or whatever but I think that was at least a dumb thing to say and possibly showed he was a bit of a snide and felt so comfortable in his club position and in how good the management of the club was that he could dismiss unhappy fans like that.

Fast forward a few years the club is in the worst mess ever. Absolutely nobody is happy. In fact many are livid. The club comes out with what everybody agrees was an utterly made up headlock story. It seems as clear an attempt to shift blame onto the fans as you can get. It's followed by stories about it not being safe to go the game

Sharp says zilch. Nada.

So to anybody who think he has been unfairly treated I would ask do you think he at any moment thought "this isn't on, they are taking the proverbial out of the fans and I am part of the board so it's on me too" ?

If he didn't then I'd say it shows he doesn't care so much about the fans and likely has felt like that, whether he'd even know it himself, since many years ago

If he did, then it's worse I reckon as he knows it was wrong and only thought of self preservation. I'm sure somebody else could think of examples but there's lots of footballers who lost jobs at their club at various levels because they didn't agree with those running the club.

You can have a mate who was great when you were younger and even helped you directly a lot. That shouldn't save them from repercussions later on in life when they spend years being a bad friend and you rightly give them a life ban from your house.

..also your mate wouldn't help themselves by complaining later on about their treatment to The Scotsman. ( Is that a person or a newspaper?)

Sorry Chico and mooms for the interruption. Pls continue. Going back to sleep now.

The player was a legend.
The man was part of one of the worst boards in Everton’s entire history, aligning himself with and fiercely loyal to the least competent and successful chairman in Everton history and was extremely happy to take a massive financial payday from the club which he knew was already on its knee’s financially.
Forever tarnished his own reputation at the club and he did it himself. Bellend.

Maybe we need to turn the mirror on ourselves and study how we hate so easy?

I’ve been doing a bit of research on this very subject actually. My team observed thread traffic spiking in the DCL thread yesterday evening whilst the numbers for the Dyche thread (usually a hotspot of constructive criticism) remained calm and if anything dipped.
Conclusion? Early stages yet but the numbers are already suggesting that angry middle middle aged men rely on Everton fc in order to ‘re-route’ hate away from themselves and towards another individual or group of individuals.

 

[kenada_blue]

What happened to him like?

 

[Exeter_Gently]

You’ve just sent me into a deep ponder of other titles for my tiresome pseudo baiting. Best I’ve got is Carl Dung.

A pseudo psychologist....Maybe your next dalliance on twitter?

Thank you for this research. Can you help bring this exciting theorem to the masses by quoting said posts please pal.

Who cares?

Will do bud. @Kev The Rat you going to be much longer with your analysis of the correlation between posts in the Dwight McNeil thread and the googling of hair restoration products please?

What happened to him like?

If you read his autobiography he doesn't come across as very likable. Constantly wanting to leave or moaning even during our title winning seasons. Great player but I'm not sure about him otherwise.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Sharp was content to take the money and pee all over the fans from a great height.

 

[Lob]

Will always be a Legend. His devotion to Everton allowed him to be manipulated by Bill and he still believes that the board did nothing wrong. Cannot see the wood for the trees. Maybe he will see the truth in the future but still a proper Everton Legend regardless.

Good striker. Part of a simply woeful management team, who were so bad at it they don't even know how bad they were. From his perspective it's hard to take that news, but there are okenty out there in all walks of life.

I respect his footballing legacy, I pity his later involvement. I save hate for war mongers.
