No mate, I'm afraid you've just completely misunderstood. I mean i'm not saying that i'm not bothered, i'm just saying that the vast majority of people aren't bothered. If you think there's going to be a huge backlash if we announce a gambling firm as a sponsor and a boycott and all that, then that's fine, but I am absolutely certain that you will be proved wrong. It's never bothered people to that extent before, I'm not sure what you think has happened in the last 2 years to change that.

I haven't misunderstood anything.

You are stating your opinion of what the majority think.

What evidence I can find says that you're wrong.

This is the most recent survey I can find, drawn from football fans more widely:

I'm afraid it doesn't back up your opinion that 99% don't care.

I seem to recall him buckling a bit under the weight of fan engagement on Twitter and the like.

Can’t blame him. Imagine being the club’s human shield against the fanbase.

I thought he was fantastic in that role. Really engaged with supporters constantly, even with the negative side.

Jesus Christ mate it's not hard to grasp. There's a difference between giving my opinion of the sponsorship and giving my opinion of what most people think about the sponsorship. There are some things you don't think you need to spell out for people, but I suppose I should know better by now.

The 'evidence' you've provided doesn't refute what i'm saying at all. Thinking there's too much gambling sponsorship in football and actually kicking up a fuss about your own team having a gambling company as a sponsor are not the same thing. Much like many people will say they want local lads in the team and for us to use the youth system, but would rather have Joao Cancelo and Kevin De Bruyne in the side than Jonjoe Kenny and Tom Davies.

We're talking about a board that were happy to appoint a manager that was getting death threats from fans outside his house here, the idea that they're terrified to tell fans we're going to have a betting firm as a sponsor seems more than a little fanciful.

I literally have no idea what you're trying to say, so if it's okay with you, I'm going to get on with my afternoon.

I enjoy gambling, I dont have a problem, so Im happy with it,any sponsor will do me as long as they pay, you can find a fault in any sponsor, but it doesnt give anyone the right to tell others its wrong
 
In all seriousness, I am neither personally tied to the morality of gambling or alcohol on the front of the shirt I know there's some who are and thats cool too, just doesn't bother me that much if it brings in the most money..

That being said, aren't gambling firms being banned on shirts? it would be the most Everton thing ever to get that and then have to take it off.
 

Utter disgrace by the club if they get a gambling company on board. Will make it very clear how low our stock has fallen that we've been unable to attract any decent sponsor and do a complete u-turn on our previous comments about not using gambling firms as sponsors.

And I, for one, welcome ISIS as our new sponsor. I mean, if they haven't personally beheaded me then why do I care?
