jesus christ this is ridiculous.

You have absolutely zero idea of what is going on in south manchester yet have continued to criticise Mansour and City. I have personal experience of what they are doing and their investment in the area and know exactly whats going on. Evidently you quite literally haven't got a scooby do hence why i suggested you google it.

Just to start have a read about "Manchester Life"!! there ive even done some of the work for you.

Add any substance to my words!?!?! That article is so irrelavent its ridiculous.

here is one thats illustrates my point that you've no idea whats going on at souhampton either (added bonus its less than 10 days old) lets have a look at a little snippet

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...sale-by-lending-club-an-extra-20-million.html



and as for your last point you clearly dont get simple maths do you. With the Premier league money dwarfing the champions legaue money with each passing TV deal, there is less chance of a club going "bankrupt" chasing the champions league each time. The risk is becoming smaller all the time.

Jesus wept, i have stated several times that i don't know what is going on in South Manchester and i don't care. What has that got to do with Man City being at the mercy of one mans pocket and their current standing in world football being solely due to unlimited spending outside of their revenue streams? Please try to understand what it is i am saying.

So the owner of Southampton has 'loaned' the club £20 million so that they can pay off another loan from someone else and actually takes the amount the club owe her to £49.2 million? Seems a solid financial strategy and all the good work that has been done there is prior to this new owner being in charge. So i'm not exactly sure what your point is? Southampton were an incredibly well run club who invested well under the previous regime and is now borrowing money from the new owner to keep it going? Lets see where they are in 3-4 years.

I think this was very revealing and informative;

“What we can’t do is shy away from the fact that there is a significant debt sitting on the club, because of what’s been built and the past decisions the club has made,” said chief executive Gareth Rogers.

“We have to have some strong governance and strong management leadership in order to bring that debt down over the forthcoming years. Sustainability is about being here in 15, 20, 30, 40 years’ time and managing that debt is part of that.”

One big focus is to increase the club’s commercial income and contingency planning has also already been made according to whether the club is in the Champions League, Europa League or simply the Premier league next season.

Added bonus, it's only from just over a week ago - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ase-means-winners-season-scoop-74MILLION.html

I don't quite understand why the person who would benefit most (financially) from a new stadium for Everton(Bill Kenwright) should somehow not choose to take any opportunity that presented itself to vastly improve the club has supported all his life while at the same time make a fortune for himself by building the new stadium that our club needs to move move to the next financial level.

If Everton do get a new stadium and the TV money continues to roll into football Bill Kenwright will move onto a level of wealth even he probably never dreamed of.

I agree, a new stadium mixed with TV money would put Kenwright in the best possible position to profit, if indeed thats what he wants to do.

Are you sitting comfortably children ?

It's not often that ringfenced money literally disappears but on this occasion it actually did. Our board were naturally taken by surprise by this development which threw their financing plans into disarray.

Bill's lifelong friend, fellow board member Paul Gregg then offered to personally provide the financing for Kings Dock but surprisingly in return wanted more control of the club he would be effectively bankrolling. As an Evertonian, Bill was forced to turn this devious offer down, and was proven right when stories started to appear in the Liverpool Echo about Gregg financially neglecting his first family.

I appreciate your input but i'm afraid i'm not buying these rather simplistic and convenient stories. There is no smoke without fire but there will be a lot more to it than this.

You're saying the ringfenced money wasn't actually ringfenced and Bill lied to the fans, shareholders and development partners ? I had my suspicions but this really is shocking stuff. Thanks for putting us onto this m8.

Were there any more Everton themed stories in the Beano or Dandy this week?

At least they have something to show for their debt.
With our Board... built pretty much little to nothing, invested nothing, sold pretty much everything...and yet still have people on forums supporting what they have brought to the Club.

Outstanding effort Bill...

Do we? Or is just that if you don't want to be part of the anti Kenwright 'movement' you are immediately branded a 'Kenwright supporter' or 'apologist'?

For example, i am neither anti nor pro Kenwright, but you'll have me labelled as a BK supporter.

I genuinely have no interest in joining any groups or movements. And none in labelling people.

I love and want the best for my football club.

Have I fabricated or misrepresented the truth in what I posted above?

TBH, you,ve stumbled into the thread without any firm opinion on anything at all.

I don't see anyone shouting about how good BK and the board have been?
