The Everton Board Thread 2015/16 [ Not takeover related ]

[D410]

Think there could be some truth in this. I have a feeling that Saturday may well have been the last time we see Mr Kenwright at Goodison.

Blatter and kenwright gone in the same year? What odds would you have got on that and the Xmas bells were ringing out.

The labyrinthine claim/guess: I dont see the contradiction as a theory, as it goes down to a matter of trust. Shares/assets can and are in reality often held in other people's names - between members of a family, for example. Obviously the people we are talking about are very close, they're not casual business acquaintances.

It is a difference of opinion based on two sources of knowledge. I accept that you are dealing in empirically verifiable data concerning accounts and that you deploy company law to effect. On the other hand, I deploy knowledge of the history over the struggle of Everton's ownership and the dishonest and covert manner that was carried out, the likelihood of a man without the wherewithal to stay in control staying in control for 16 years, his known associates and their own public utterances of their connection to Kenwright (and his own acceptance of their informal involvement with him and the club), and the recent attempts to push the club down a route that no free-to-operate Evertonian chairman/largest share holder would wish to push the club.

It's all happened now. My concern is that if/when there is a change in circumstance at the club that there will be no clean break from what's gone on. That's my only concern. And for the reasons I set out I do think there's going to be no simple transference of ownership.

Quite right Dave, we are in a tunnel and there is no light at the end of it.

The latest rumour my friend.

What is that, please reveal.

 

[sageyefc]

And like clockwork, transfer window coming up, half season tickets for sale, lets throw out another rumor

 

[TommyDavo]

Oh there's a rumour in the air, think I'll rush out and buy a half season ticket. If Everton have made 300 dabs out of that I'd be more than amazed.

Go back a few pages and you will see!

Do you really think a takeover rumour would persuade somebody to buy a half price season ticket?

Always thought the same whenever I've seen somebody say that.

It was a touch of sarcasm

Oh right, you'd be surprised the amount of people who do actually think that way.

 

[TommyDavo]

I've only ever known people who buy a season ticket that want to support Everton. Simple really, in fact once we get the few hangers on attending as Saturday and a full house we invariably blow it

 

[Ashtonian]

Do you really think a takeover rumour would persuade somebody to buy a half price season ticket?

yes. If you thought that we were genuinely getting taken over and off to go out and buy a load of class players would you not want to secure your seat over everyone else?

 

[SerenityNigh]

I dont trust Kenwright to sell to the right person either.

This is the best ever

The PL are a joke who would have turned a blind eye to whichever people owned Leeds from offshore if HM Govnt hadn't put a bomb up their arses.

Everton's shareownership: I'd put that in with Lord Lucan and Shergar as one of the great mysteries of our time, tbh. I wouldn't rule anything out.

In a parallel universe, BK owns his shares. I can't speak for Earl though, as I'm not strong enough in physics.

How to back a winner by the anti-board brigade lol. And before anyone kicks off, I've no real interest in the pseudo political shenanigans of the internet warriors of both sides, but there is the odd amusing moment.
