Graham sharp rat or hero

Cahill is in bed with that rat Kia

Farhads mate

I really hope Cahill stays well away from the board, it would be horrible to see the fans turn on him.

I don't think Cahill would out stay his welcome if it came to that or chat wham in backing someone who is clearly not geared to performance gains across the board (no pun intended).

Kenwright at any point could resign to end all of this, I think both Denise and Graeme deserve better. DBB to go back to run EitC where she was highly successful and Sharp back to the ambassador type role where he is more suited. We may even get a board that don't require any staff to be the equivalent of Chemical Ali so they don't get blacklisted for any slight bit of criticism.

I'm really torn, as it's Graham Sharp, a total playing legend for us

Whoever made the point about separating the player and the man was right, but it's still difficult

 

[Steve EFC]

He’s an Everton legend and always will be. Those saying otherwise are out of order and should aim it elsewhere.
He has little influence in the things we are unhappy with.

 

[pedro789]

Bringing Sharp onto the board was a cynical move to protect an incompetent, dysfunctional board from fan's anger.

He was doing stadium tours, with no experience in modern football administration.

Like the rest of the board + executive team, he's taking care of his own interests.

Who else in football is going to employ him or them?

Still an Everton legend.

Both things can be true.

I haven't voted either way as what he did for us as a player was amazing. I don't particularly like Ratcliffe who is like the anti-Sharp where he can't wait to lay the boot in and everything is bleak (this was even in the Moyes years), but I wouldn't want to call him names either.

Not really because he one of the people backing Kenwright, if you remove Sharp and DBB suddenly Kenwright doesn't get to keep to the status quo of everything he says is right. Want to get rid of Bill remove his pillars of support.

I get what you are saying but if it was not Sharp it would be another former sentimental appointment / player so whether Sharp goes or not is in my opinion immaterial to BKs departure - he will just have another sycophant lined up. I don’t often agree with @4737carlin but on this occasion I do. The only people that can get the stubborn stain known as Kenwright out are the people or Moshiri. Anyone else is in my opinion just window dressing

If Sharp goes nobody anti Bill gets near that board, and Bill isn't going unless Moshiri sacks him, which he either can't or won't.
Nothing changes at Everton until Farhad sells, but he seems under no pressure to do so, either from within the club or from the fan base.

A yes man in a paid role.

The man is a pawn in a losing chess game.

Think some are missing the point of fans feeling upset/ angry about him.

I and many others who at the time looked on him as a cub hero questioned how & why he should be appointed onto the board.
Most now acknowledge this board ( him being part of it ) should be punted ASAP.

In the aftermath of Headlock Gate he had every opportunity to disassociate himself from the slender put out by the club.
But no he remained silent & by association he is part of the regime that tried throwing the fans under the bus to hide their wrong doings.

That in itself makes him one big fat RAT.

To him they quite rightly were. It’s a measure of how good Moyes was at damping expectations that those years are deemed a success.
It’s quite ironic that there’s a demand for managers to get time, yet he had all the time in the world and barely managed to beat any of Man U, Arsenal, Them etc.
Steadied the ship, safe pair of hands etc but hardly a high water mark in our history. That period is largely where ‘we’ve had good times’ comes from.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Matt Le Tissier was a great player as well. Look at the helmet he turned into. Quite easy to separate the player from the person.
