No we don't. We have a board where the 2nd largest shareholder in the club (with a personal wealth estimated at £150m) can't be arsed to attend an EGM, let alone ANY Everton home games for many years.

We have a board that simply does not invest any money into the club because they claim they don't have any, yet at the same time want an extortionate amount for their shareholding, far exceeding what they originally paid and what the club is currently worth.

'We could do a Pompey' - what, sell to the wrong man? Like a person in a one bedroom bedsit? Like a person who never puts a penny into the club and we continually sell our best players and lose a great manager?

I'm quite calm, it's totally laughable people still come out with this garbage about us having a board that cares.

We have a board that maintains their own selfish position and agenda really well. They certainly don't have any ambition at all and will not take this club any further than it has gone.

This irrational fear of change, 'be careful what you wish for' attitude is what holds Everton back and what keeps the status quo of Kenwright & co. in their place.

I've responded in part to your post, but as yet haven't seen your reply to support your argument, so , if you don't mind, I'd like to add another question to my response, for you to ponder. £20 million pounds spent 12 years ago. In terms of the cost of inflation in football in the last 12 years, what would it cost today?
Lets have a debate about this,after all, this is a forum.

Thats a fellow blue expressing an opinion (on a evertonian site) you need to take a look at yourself i think. Very rude post indeed.

If we sign this lad then we just have to get behind him and trust that Martinez knows what he's doing. I just want the deal to happen or not happen now, hate not knowing if we're actually on the verge of signing him or not.

I'd get behind him and i'm totally against the transfer.

He's obviously going to sign, just seems like such an anti-climax from being excited on martinez comments on youth etc.
 
I think he'll surprise many people on here, the lad is a beast. He's strong, fast, good dribbler. Can score any type of goal, good in the air, good at link up play. Only things that go against him is he is 29, which isn't even that bad in football anymore, and the fact he had a bad time at villareal. I think he'll score 15 goals for us.

I think he is a good signing. Think of squad depth - we would have kone/ jelavic/ anichebe. Better than last season, which has to be the aim
 
I reckon if, as seems increasingly likely, he turns thirty by the time we sort this we should seek a reduction, if only to see Daves face
 
I've come around to the idea of Kone now. Makes sense for Martinez to go for someone who can have an instant impact rather than potential. And most strikers don't really start to tail off until they're 33/34. If we got 4 decent years out of him it wouldn't be bad business at all. It'd give us a few different options up front and it seems like his link up play is far better than what we've got. More pace up front won't hurt us either!
