The Everton Board Thread 2014/15

[Lowste]

Our club will never be able to move forward while we have this board of directors, they are quite happy for things to just bumble along both on and off the pitch. In the city we are being pushed to one side as though we are an irrelevance, has our board done anything to lift the club's profile, NO. BK just bleeding well sits there looking down all smarmy winning or losing it seems that it doers not matter to him as long as the boat is not rocked. Apart from piddling amounts of transfer funds there has been no serious investment into the club to move it along. New stadium in your dereams this will not happen until one day Health and Safety condemn GP. For comparison look at the details of other Pl Clubs.

Chelsea: redeveloped stadium, billionaire investment
Arsenal: new stadium, billionaire(s) on board
Man United: stadium redevelopment, billionaire investment
Man City: new stadium, billionaire investment
Liverpool: stadium redevelopment, billionaire ownership
Spurs: billionaire ownership
Southampton: new stadium, billionaire ownership
Swansea City: new stadium, new investment
West Ham Utd: stadium redevelopment, new stadium
Stoke City: new stadium, billionaire ownership
Crystal Palace: US takeover
Newcastle: stadium redevelopment, billionaire ownership
West Brom:
Sunderland: new stadium, billionaire ownership
Aston Villa: billionaire ownership
Hull City: new stadium, new investment
QPR: new investment
Burnley:
Leicester City: new stadium, new investment

We are in there with Burnley and West Brom, how great is that I ask?

The only time BK got close to worrying was a couple of years ago with those protests and the group have now faded away. I recall there was not that much support on here for them indeed quite a bit of criticism. Well look where are now! Even across the way our neighbours got tough with Hicks and Co so why can't we do the same?

How can we get any where near BK and Co to make it clear that this is not good enough, it requires protests at the ground but I cannot see that happening, too many of the fans just roll up to watch the game and go home or to the pub for a drink, where they will bemoan or celebrate the result, and call the likes of BK a tosser and that is it. Even if a piece of land is found, the club does not have the funds or so we are led to believe to build a stadium.

What money has BK and the rest of the charlatans put into the club?

Rant over for now.

I am happy to be corrected but unsure of some of your billionaires
Stoke
Southampton
Newcastle
Sunderland
Also putting Villa in here as a comparison is not going to strengthen your argument
Maybe multi millionaires, but unsure Billionaires
As for BK being booted out, I don't see a queue forming to buy us
If you want my opinion(for what it counts) BK can not be a good chairman as he doesn't have the financial clout or acumen to be. I will say though until we have a buyer, we have what we have.

Still a heck of a lot more money than BK and have put money into the clubs, what has BK & co put in. There have been so many goings on in the past with this current lot, Kings Dock fiasco, Fortress funds mess, for example.

The bit in bold is the point and I can see us going nowhere with this board. Do you genuinely believ that they have tried to sell the cliub?

 

[Chang Elephant]

You still have to ask yourself where do you want the club to be in the next ten years and how can that be achieved. That is what all the fans have to face. Keeping playing for the mid table trophy or competing for the title and Euro.

Sorry mate, can't keep it up, will leave the floor open for the latest random "neutral/no agenda" poster that appears on GOT every few weeks or so to argue why Bill's done Ok in the circs, without giving any detail in their argument.

Try @piddlywiddly

 

[Toffeelover]

I was just having my little rant because I am unhappy with the way the club is being run. Others are welcome to post what they think and rant but mine is now over.

A chance to have a forced smile for the telly when we lose

Yeah mate see what you're saying, don't get me wrong Bill's not perfect by any means but he's stabilised the club while the likes of Portsmouth, Leeds have failed etc just feel that Bill's being penilised for not having a billion or two lying round to spend.

nah he gets penalised for ntl, fsf, Chris Samuelson, Kings Dock, Destination Kirkby, The Park end debacle etc

Coates is very close, Ashley most definitely is a billionaire, Liebherr is most definitely a billionaire & Ellis Short is a billionaire as well

They have and thats from Kenwright himself
