Graeme Sharp

[Clarky cat]

I’ve heard that Greame Sharp pegs Grant Ingles on a bed made of fifty pound notes every fortnight. This is filmed at Denise Barret Baxendale’s vast country estate that she purchased with her £2.5m payoff for being grossly incompetent. David Unsworth is sometimes seen prowling the grounds and peeking through windows.

I remember him as a radio pundit on the Legends show with Alan Kennedy, Micky Thomas and Gary Owen in the early 2’000s.

He was a bell end.

Remember him having a go at Evertonians who were calling in to talk about the state of affairs when Rooney was sold and proving he was 100% up Kenwright’s backside.

Also remember him arguing for the club after they put that embarrassing bid in for Alan Smith when he’d already agreed to join Man U.

Sharply was an Everton footballing legend. He was however, in over his head, as a businessman. He represents everything we did wrong as a club since the Kenwright era began. Sharp was a footballer, not a businessman and this sentimental approach to how we ran our club got us all into trouble.
The board and fans need to reflect on that going forward if NSNO means anything anymore
Hope he returns and it’s given zero fanfare, our story is our future at Bramley Moore with new ownership and possibly management. That should be the only story in town.

Could have left at any point to show he wasn't happy with how we were being run, that might have been one of the very few things to perhaps shock Kenwright enough into saying to Moshiri "this is too big for us and appoint a whole new leadership and management structure to try and take the club forward". Well probably not but we can only hope.

Trouble is he was part of a closed off group that only dealt in self affirmation, it's everyone else's fault, not ours. Now he's butt hurt that he has been treated poorly, when he had at least a year in which he could have gone and would have got some credit back.

Truth is he supported one man more than he did the club and this continues to show in his comments in the article, that he's 'moved on' and 'not bothered about going to the last game'. Some Evertonian that.

Thank you what you did for the club as a player Graeme, but no thanks for what you did as a Kenwright apologist.

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.

Not sure if he has ever admitted he did anything wrong or apologized for being wrong? All I`ve heard him say is how badly he was treated by the fans.

That’s what i remember. He was horrible.

He wasn't the only player who sided with Kenwright, which suggests that on a one to one basis, Kenwright was capable to forming string bonds with the players who came to the club while he was in charge. Sharp was wrong to back him as it turns out, but from what I have seen his main ‘crime’ was showing great loyalty to a man he trusted and was obviously very find of. That perhaps shows a lack of judgement, but it isn’t anything I can hate him for. Mind you, I was fortunate to have seen him leading the line for us through the glory years, including scoring the best Derby goal of all time, so that obviously influences my opinion of him.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Applaud him on the pitch at half time with other legends.

Boo him in the stand with the cronies.

Short time as a player and not on the money players are today so sold his soul to the man manipulating the club.

We as a society really have a problem with how we deal with each other as friends; way too often supporting a friend means accepting / tolerating what they do, rather than constructively challenging it when we think they are doing things wrong. The outcome is often that they end up destroying or nearly destroying something - their job, their marriage, their own lives, the football team they support in this case - when a bit of wisdom early on would have prevented it.

Whether or not Kenwright surrounded himself with only those he knew would agree with him, it seems to me he was let down by his friends for not giving the advice that was needed (or not making him heed it if it was given). This is not to speak ill of the dead, but we have been much better run as a club since his passing and if he had realised what he was doing years beforehand then I think we'd be in a better place and he would have avoided a lot of the stresses and pain he went through because of the club because he stayed in charge.

Big fan of his work on synchronicity tbf

 

[Neiler]

Stupid article to do really.

Think the whole board were patsies myself, the problem was always Moshiri, its how feel about the collusion really.

I’ve read a few books on his work, not that I understood them but they looked good on the train pal.

 

[Encoder]

This whole victim schtick from him is a bit embarrassing and if he came out and admitted he was in the wrong many would welcome him back.

Typical lack of accountability from a boomer in a privileged position.

 

[blulouie]

Maybe he should have took council with Ian Wright or better still Big Nev.

 

[mahermi1]

He hasn’t helped himself to be fair. He was always a kenwright man, even before he was on the board.

Always had a pop at fans who wanted change when he was on live radio.

He’d have rather have seen this club go bust than have anything bad said about Kenwright.

Have to agree, sad that he feels castigated, but he made his bed and took his money. Everton football legend, truly great player in my eyes, but traitorous person to the fans proved by staying quiet during his awful tenure on the board, where he and the rest of them threw our fans under the bus for the whole World to see.
I will never forget the gleefull comments on a Radio City broadcast, where he laughingly and wrongly in my opinion pointed out the peaceful protest was like " One man and his Dog". Legend and traitor.
