Shareholders

[Moomin]

I like Denise, don't understand the hate she gets

Some people just hate her because she is a sucessful woman in business.

She has always came across well.

 

[Joey66]

I think they all sold them and invested in Bit Coin mate.

Rumours of them trying to force a takeover with all the profits.

I blame @Kev The Rat myself..
But if he’s got the dough like..

I heard Kev was sharing a Yacht with Phillip Green - lol

So you haven't said she must go? She is not upto the job etc etc

Successful running a charity.

Whole different beast to running a Football club.

She has said some very worrying things as well.

I haven’t seen the club improve since she came in either commercially

No denying what she did with EITC but she isn’t what we needed.

It’s going to take a good while to change the ethos of the club. Just so you could enlighten me mate, do you have a history of where DBB has failed? Might give me a better view of whether the job is above her. (I think that’s what you meant to type)

 

[Crestfallen]

Is DBB the high powered, little miss dynamite. Or is she Bill Kenwright in a frock. We’ll wait and see

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Ok mate.

I’ll drop you a DM.

Please do, I'd be more than happy to : )

Mate you got absolutely no clue what she does, and i'll wager you have neither run a charity or a football club.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I still don’t know what DBB, Kenwright, Johns Ebrell etc have to do with us not playing wingbacks as wingbacks, our midfield being lacklustre and Ancelotti persisting with 3 at the back

 

[TheSecondComing]

Here we go, I understand what a chief executive does and how it would differ between a non profit charity and a football club.

Yet again I’ll state my point as to the culture at Everton being toxic leading to the fact she got her job because Kenwright lobbied for it, shouting very loud from his platform, rather than an experienced CEO who knows how to run a company the size of Everton.

Yet you want to discuss my credentials in regards to judging her.

I am not going to sit here and explain why I know what it takes and try and justify myself to you.

I ask you debate the real question of why we looked within, when the club had been without anything positive from a corporate sense in decades.

We needed to rip it up and start again yet we promoted DBB.

It has nothing yet everything at the same time

This is an extract from The Esk now we can all sit and judge his take on accounts or his interpretation of Moshiri and Usmanov but he’s a very knowledgeable man.

All of which leads nicely into corporate culture. The culture of an organisation is intrinsically linked to its leadership. Culture is not something just outsourced to the human resources department. It should never be a secondary concern for any business – culture is the beating heart of an organisation from which all strategies, decisions and the effectiveness of executions derive. Culture is highly powerful and dynamic. As someone once said “corporate culture eats strategy for breakfast”.

One of the most important aspects of corporate culture is how enduring it can be, especially when the leadership of an organisation has remained constant and/or insufficient attention has been given to monitoring culture and making the necessary changes if the culture doesn’t meet the objectives of the business. The academic Benjamin Schneider introduced the attraction-selection-attrition model which says people are drawn to organisations with similar characteristics to their own. Organisations choose people who “fit in” and those that don’t tend to leave. Thus a social pattern is created which may be resistant to change. It can materially affect strategic thinking and the execution of such.

NSNO as a corporate culture?

It’s my belief that the culture across the club has to change in order to become successful once more. That doesn’t mean we need to dilute some of the more attractive values associated with Everton Football Club, but it does mean we have to become more single minded, more focused on success on and off the pitch. As I said on the podcast the culture across the club has to become re-aligned with the principles of NSNO. We have to excel at everything we do. I say re-aligned because there have been periods in our history when the club has absolutely adhered to “only the best is good enough”.

Interestingly, and I believe backing up the intrinsic link between culture and leadership, our periods of success, dominance and influence in football have been driven by the outstanding leadership of an individual or individuals. Our early dominance of English football both on and off the pitch can be attributed to the excellence and leadership of Will Cuff; Our great side of the late 1920’s and early 30’s through the greatest English goalscorer in history WR Dean; our dominance through the 60’s driven by the obsessive excellence of John Moores and the short lived dominance driven by the brilliant man management of Howard Kendall in the 80’s. Each period was defined by individuals who truly understood the meaning of NSNO (even though Cuff and Dean predate the motto).

The question is who takes us to the next period of achievement and alignment with what should always be our corporate and club culture? Clearly Ancelotti has the curriculum vitae to demonstrate he has and can operate at such rarefied levels. Brands too has a track record that suggests in the right circumstances he can create the footballing infrastructure (scouting, recruiting, training, sports science, medicine, player trading etc) to match that standard.

Beyond that though, regrettably the evidence is thin. If the corporate and club culture is to match our motto, and if Moshiri believes/understands the relationship between culture and leadership, he has to act. The NSNO culture can only be achieved by a change of leadership, by bringing in skilled, experienced individuals who have achieved corporate, perhaps sporting, success around the world. Moshiri is the rightful and legal majority owner of the club. But he is also a custodian of our long term interests in Everton Football Club. Our emotional investment in our club is perhaps of more value to us than his financial investment in Everton is to him.

Part of our emotional investment is the belief that Nils Satis Nisi Optimum is an accurate representation of how the club behaves and what it achieves on and off the pitch. For it to be genuinely the case, there has to be a massive change in culture and there has to be a governance model to ensure that the change is made and maintained. To do so requires a change of leadership at the top of the club, particularly with the Chair and CEO and an extension of leadership in bringing new independent oversight to the board.

The status quo will not achieve NSNO at our club…..

Why are you so against someone getting a promotion? She obviously earned it, which you are discounting out of hand.

And no, if you haven’t been a COO or CEO you don’t know what they do at all. If I walked into your job I would have no idea what i was doing.

Off the pitch we looks miles better run than we ever have previously and DBB is a positive part of that.

Talk about self aggrandising lol

'Our clubs success has historically been defined though strong and clear leadership breeding a winning culture'.


One sentence there which covers 95% of his waffle.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Are you given chance to ask questions still?

If so why don’t any of our investors such as yourself ask the questions that matter.

25 years.

Jobs for the lads.

Kenwirghts use at the club still in any capacity?

Are there any KPI’s for the football side?

Why did DBB get a promotion well another her station?

Does NSNO mean anything to any of them if so why don’t they adhere to it?

Blues mention all of this but there is one reason why we are not successful and for some reason it hasn't even been mentioned. Marcel Brands is the worst individual to have involvement in transfers in football history. Every remotely average player he has signed is down to managers and he has never spotted one gem.

Brands should be sacked as soon as possible.
