As Premier league football club we are SUPPOSED to be financially stable and not make rash irresponsible decisions........thats his bloody job.

Why have we been securing loans against future revenue streams for well over a decade then? It was Roydo who spoke about the possibility of doing that with the extra 100 million we will be getting. But it's not a novel suggestion, as lord Kenwright has being doing it for donkey's. And please lets not pretend that Kenwright's tenure at Everton has been one in which he has presided over a period of financial stability. He was talking about having to write a begging letter to the banks not so long ago, we actually went two and a half years without signing a single first team player.
So he has used part of the extra 100 million we will be getting to strengthen the paying squad. Well done. I'm not slagging him off for doing that, I'm just making it clear that doing anything else with the money would have been both absurd and disgraceful. And that if you want to compete with the Premier League elite then you can't be getting giddy about investing new found TV money every three or four years. A fair whack of our expenditure has also come from player sales as well.
So this Christmas and what have you done!

So...the key question...and your opinion will be interesting...were do you think all this 'missing money' has gone? I shall ponder your answer tomorrow.....

Nobody mentioned anything about missing money. I just think it is ridiculous to laud Kenwright for investing club money on the playing squad. I mean, a chairman investing club money on the playing squad, who would have thought it?

The missing money stuff is the bait Bill's little helpers hang out there to try and gain the high ground. If you doubt the official line they'll start to accuse you of libel in an effort to shut debate down. Isn't that right lads?
Still havent found the Arteta money tho.
It's all well and good signing world class players for record transfer fees, some of us haven't forgotten about the NTL deal!

The fact that many educated Evertonians take issue with people posting unsubstantiated, potentially libellous accusations without any foundation - out of order, and that you and your 'little helpers' choose to twist that into 'trying to shut down the debate' is beyond laughable, as every time you've been challenged to provide some substance to that supposed 'debate' you've run for hills deflecting like a madman
You're fighting the good fight FLHD, but you have to realize they won't give you what you want. It's a furious fap that will end up leaving you dry and disappointed.

We should be Australia's, America's and South Africa's favourite club. We have the best players of their generations from these countries (Harry Kewell can do one) yet where is our commercial presence. We can't even get kits up to JLA to sell.
No one thinks our board needs to spend money they haven't got or take on lots of debt to fund player transfers. But it would be nice to be run like a 21st century club rather than a 19th one.

LOL, the irony being, that it's all available on the internet. How very '19th century' of us.
Why is everything to the extremes?
The board do some things well. They give the manager time, and seem to, at least, let the manager handle things on the pitch. Kenwright also seems skilled at getting the most we can from sales (excepting Rooney, and arguably Arteta). They have also prevented us from doing a Leeds or Pompey. These are good things! And now they're giving Martinez the money he made from sales and maybe a little bit on top.
They also do some things poorly. They still seem to foster an incompetent marketing department for one. They also still have not sorted out a new stadium for us, not have they put their hands in their own pockets to invest in the club. Our business deals are catastrophic (kitbag is one of the worst commercial deals I've ever heard of).
They are neither evil or malicious. They have some clear areas that require improvement. It is not in anyone's interest but theirs to fail to give them credit for the things they do well, nor is it in anyone's interest to fail to note their weaknesses.
I am happy so far with the window. That is entirely separate from the fact I am not happy with movement on a stadium, the lack of targeted overseas marketing, the heinous kitbag deal, or the objectively subpar Chang deal.
