Liverpool Echo & Everton

[chicoazul]

I think @GrandOldTeam said they combined the roles when someone else left, or something.

Is he still holding a position with his previous firm that he part owned and Everton use as a third party or did he relinquish that role?

I have absolutely no idea mate.

But if you mean that digital gubbins company that Trinity own and EFC are a client of, then maybe. The boss knows the details far better than I do. He posted a details post about it in this thread.

*has a rummage*

Is he? I thought he was employed as Director Of Communications?

And Marketing, which via @GrandOldTeam says encompases Commericial activity it seems. :/

He and his wife still own 60% - of course, no corporate governance issues.....

I'd be interested to see the involvement of Kenyon Fraser in any new commercial deals signed.

To hold a position as senior as Commercial Director should be independent of third party interest. It would fail most big company's audit requirements.

So who replaced Kenyon as Communications Director? Commercial Director is too big a role to merge with another. Not my view just, but the view of most Premier League clubs.

Bingo.

Interesting to see a campaign against the Liverpool Echo grow;

https://twitter.com/RedEchoBoycott

^ Nearly 2,000 followers in a day or so, and they've really impacted Liverpool Echo's Twitter follower count.

More and more seem to be (rightly or wrongly), questioning Liverpool Echo's Integrity, alleging they represent the club, and not the fans.

Now. I understand the below to be facts.

• Liverpool Echo - Owned by Trinity Mirror;
  The Liverpool Echo is a newspaper published by Trinity Mirror in Liverpool, Merseyside, England.

• Everton FC is a big, big customer of Trinity Mirror.

• Trinity Mirror produce Everton's print (Programmes/Evertonian etc.)

• Trinity Mirror acquired/own a digital agency called Ripple Effect;
  In 2008, Trinity Mirror acquired Liverpool-based agency Ripple Effect, which offers services including digital design and build, which the company believes can help clients of its regional newspaper business.

• This digital agency, Ripple Effect are Everton's digital agency. They build Everton's website/apps etc and on a sizable monthly retainer. Visit RippleEffect.com and you'll see how big a client Everton is - this is the first thing you see on loading up their website;

Client Stories: http://www.rippleffect.com/client-stories/everton/

• Trinity Mirror, through the Liverpool Echo, secure campaign sponsorship funding from Everton FC for adverts placed in the Liverpool Echo paper, and on their website. Most recently, the Everton season ticket campaign.

Now, the question I have is... if you're Trinity Mirror/Liverpool Echo - would you risk biting the hand that feeds?

And that is why I personally believe we don't see any investigative journalism, or even any remote risk of anything that could upset their (Trinity Mirrors) key paying client (Everton FC).

Had no idea. That is a disgrace.

I wasn't aware that Everton was such a big customer for them.

The whole thing was news to me.

Bristol Evening Post didnt cover it ffs. Muppets.

So is this Kenyon feller a commercial director and handing out a club contract to his own Kenyon Fraser set up?

Isn't that wrong? Maybe I'm naive, but isn't he supposed to set his own interests aside and leave that?

No idea mate, but doesnt look right somehow.

An initial contract existed before he moved over Dave, but it does raise the potential for conflict of interests to arise, is usually considered poor corporate governance and unusually is not noted in the accounts as far as I could see.

I was going to ask which budget line this would be included in and would it be reflected when the accounts are published?

Other Operating Costs then.

I found it a bit rum when I found out. Why was there no announcement over him taking the Commercial Director role too? A role which is key in a current Premier League team set up.

I've stopped visiting Liverpool Echo now for any Everton news. Counting on you and other sites online to be my news.
