#27minutesfor27years
The #27minutesfor27years is a campaign highlighting Everton’s longest peacetime trophy drought, 27 years in May 2022 since club Captain Dave Watson lifted the FA Cup at Wembley.
Why #27minutesfor27years?
It is designed to bring attention to the majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri who despite investing £685 million approximately since February 2016 (£450m into the club, £100m into the Bramley Moore stadium and £135m approx. in buying existing shares) has not seen an improvement in the club’s fortunes with multiple managerial appointments, a weakened and less competitive first team squad and declining performances on the pitch.
• The campaign welcomes and acknowledges his financial commitment to the club. However, the campaign draws attention to the governance and management of the club during these last 6 years.
• The campaign recognises that without investment and fresh recruitment in the board and executive teams the prospects of a change in fortune in the club remains slight.
• The campaign recognises that the fans’ emotional investment and financial commitment to the club are totally aligned with Farhad Moshiri’s investment. We seek the same outcome, a better return for both our investments.
• We call on Farhad Moshiri as major shareholder, to make the management changes necessary to see an improvement in performance
• We call on Farhad Moshiri to communicate in future through official club channels
• We call on Farhad Moshiri to engage, meet and discuss fan concerns with the fans
The Campaign
• Monday 6th December, Everton v Arsenal, Goodison Park. At the 27th minute fans supporting this campaign to leave their seats as a visual representation of the need for change at Everton
• The campaign respects individual decisions to leave their seats for 5 minutes, until half time or for the remainder of the match.
