We need to stay exactly as we are; dont change because it's too scary. 5th-8th in the PL, keep on selling players and hope the right manager comes in to keep the plate spinning. It's in our DNA.
Bill Kewnright and fellow carpet baggers: 15 years at the club, achieved nothing, put nothing in, expect about 700% profit on their shares.
They should have been run out of town years ago and beaten with sticks.

Oh I totally see that point and don't disagree, but success at the boardroom level also does not lead to success on the pitch, right?
Our board seem to do a decent job picking the right people to get us success on the pitch (hooray!) although they do not do a great job off the pitch (as I've been arguing for weeks now). My entire point is that selling for the sake of selling won't necessarily see us through to a better place. Which is why I like the idea of building the brand.
A massive brand can withstand a bad managerial appointment or a weak board for a time. A massive brand is self-righting. And while we may need new owners to get to that point, I don't think the way forward is to sell up to the first jarg businessman that wants a piece of the Prem pie. I'd rather not have a meddling owner that fires managers every 3 months for not achieving the CL yet.

TBF, the parasites in control of Everton have had 15 years to get this right. Plenty enough time to sort the 'jarg' from the genuine if the price was right in the first place.
I can agree with that.
My whole point to begin with was that some guy buying Sheffield Wednesday has absolutely 0 bearing on whether people are looking to buy a club like Everton. Or do you think the board should value Everton as cheaply as Sheffield Wednesday surely was?

I can be the best Rolls Royce salesman in the world, but if nobodywants to buy one then my skills are useless
You said that we have to sell to the right person; what if the right person has never come knocking?
If the right Person has never come knocking unless bk tells us we don't know like we don't know we're for sale
Thing is, Bill can find people when push comes to shove. The Greggs, and when Paul made a move to take control he brought in a favourite of Private Eye Chris Samuelson to make a bid with FSF. When the dust settles Robert Earl jumps on board, but soon disappears when DK collapses.
So, going by form Bill is not going to bring the right person to take the club forward. And, i doubt he would be the person to make a decision on who buys Everton.

Sheff Wed are they in London?
they're totally different situations; he used his 'friends' to secure his position. Totally different from finding someone willing to pump £500m into a club
What??
How is it different, everyone keeps saying he will only sell to the right people.
Do you see Robert Earl as a right person?? Does he have our clubs best interests at heart??

Earl bought his shares off Gregg, didn't he?
Yes, or Green if the stories are to be believed. But, Earl is the man named as a director and i wonder how much input he has had the past few years in Everton.
