Did the club ever come clean on who is getting paid (250k - not sure if that was the accurate number) over the last 2 years?

Article 19 of the Articles of Association state that no Directors can receive renumeration unless they are employees of the club.

None of the directors are employees, however Elstone as CEO is a member of the Board, although not a director he is an employee. It is very clear that this line in the accounts refers to Elstone.

The club is under no obligation as a private company to name the individual.

We've been telling him that for 2 years mate, and he still keeps asking the same question.

The boring truth isn't what he's wanting to hear it seems.....

Agreed. It just warms the cockles of your heart knowing he is getting 250k.
 
Absolutely and I think you will find that the £30 million he speaks of was only a letter of credit at most, not a cash payment. Through Bank of Scotland TBH arranged a secured facility of £30 million using Everton's shares as collateral. That facility according to TBH and Everton accounts was never drawn down.

I accept Bill had to find funding from somewhere (probably Green) and Earl similarly to pay Gregg.

However the figures are significantly different from what most assume to be true.

Hi..I've been in hospital for a week or so and have just begun to catch up with GOT forums..the takeover I'm geting some thoughts together but I've just come across this thread..not read it all...but it may be interesting that my only 'impeccable' source for all things Kenwight sugggested to me a few times that Bills very close friend Jon W had helped Bill out 'in a personal'way' with regard to the purchase of Everton shares. So Green may not have been the man, it could have been our computer games millionaire?

Interesting Steve, I have no idea who helped Bill out, if it was Jon great, but it's long in the past and we should be looking forward not backwards!

Hope you are recovering from whatever put you in hospital.

EVERTON FC, a long-established football club in the English Premier League (EPL) , is keen to explore partnership opportunities and expand its fan base in international markets, especially in Asia and America, which are recognised by the club as key growth areas, according to Richard Kenyon, director of marketing and communications.
The club's commercial team six months ago added new staff with a broader focus on the international market.

Traditionally, the team was focused more on the UK and European market.

"The English Premier League is growing and growing all over the world, especially in Asia and America," Kenyon said.

With strong growth in the number of people watching the English Premier League, there are lots of opportunities for the football club to attract commercial partners and also develop its fan base in potential markets around the world, he said.


"The English Premier League is a fantastic platform and creates lots of visibility. It gives prominence to the brand," he added

Sam Lucas, head of partnerships at Everton FC, said Europe now represented approximately 40 per cent of the English Premier League's global viewers. English football matches are broadcast to 255 countries around the world.

"We have seen big growth in China and the US this season. In China alone, the number of viewers who watch Everton has surged dramatically, from only 200,000 viewers last season to over 2 million this season," he said. In China, the English Premier League is broadcast via free-to-air channel CCTV5, allowing viewers more access to the matches while in the US the EPL is broadcast via NBC.

Chang Beer has been the principal shirt sponsor for Everton FC since July 2004, and Kenyon said both parties were in discussions about renewing the sponsorship contract, which expires next year.

"Chang Beer is the brand with the longest partnership not only for Everton FC, but also in the English Premier League. The 12-year partnership started in 2004. It is longer than the average sponsorship in the English Premier League, which I would say is usually between two and five years," he explained.

Lucas said the club currently had eight major sponsors divided into different categories, as well as five supply partners.

In addition to Chang, the club's other sponsors include Umbro for sportswear, Kitbag for exclusive retailer, Dafabet for global betting, and Avon for tyres.

Edmond Neo Kim Soon, chief executive officer of Chang International, said the brewer would launch its new Chang Classic beer in green bottles in the UK next month to mark the twelve anniversary of ties with the EPL club.

Chang Classic was first launched in Bangkok in August last year.

Lucas added that photo shoots with several star Everton players - Seamus Coleman, James McCarthy, Romelu Lukaku and Joel Robles - would go out on social media in line with Chang Classic's launch in the UK and Europe.

"The English Premier League is a global property. It creates opportunity for the Chang brand to grow beyond Thailand to other international markets, and enhance awareness of the brand in many potential markets, such as Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia and Myanmar, where football is a popular sport," Soon said.

"In order to grow your brand, awareness is quite important. The partnership with Everton FC will support our growth engine to achieve our 2020 vision to be a beverage leader in Asean," he added.

The CEO said the company currently exported Chang Beer to more than 30 countries around the world, including all Asean markets.

Fraser and Neave distributes Chang Beer only in Singapore, while sales in other countries in the region are the responsibility of local distributors. "The partnership between Chang Beer and Everton FC is more than commercial, but a long-term relationship," he said.

Chang Beer was the first Thai or Asian brand to enter a sponsorship deal in the English Premier League.

Kenyon affirmed that the sponsorship deal with Chang was not just a commercial thing, but a long-term partnership. Both partners have been involved in many initiatives and social activities together in order to give something back to society, such as football coaching to enhance skills for Thais.

Everton-Chang Village is a good example of a deeper partnership created about 10 years ago by building homes for people on the Khao Lak coast in Phang Nga.

Consisting of 50 houses and a football field, it was built following the devastating 2004 tsunami that struck the area and destroyed the village of Ban Naan Khem.

What really gives foreign 'brand exposure' (God help us) is winning shiny cups...but, of course, we dont want FA Cups or LCs, because they're rubbish...apparently.

I'm sure the Chinese and North American consumers will be gagging to buy into a piece of the 7th best club in the Premier League though. It just makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

:coffee:

No, what they really want to see is our disastrous home record, prized assets talking about leaving and finishing 15th further reducing are power at the negotiating table.

But don't let facts get in your way

Competing at Wembley in SFs and finals...that's what makes audiences take notice. That's what the story is about, I believe.

Wrong

Winning the final on a regular occurrence and competing in the league. But of course, 5th is the same as 15th and are prized asset and just stated he's as good as off.

Bet our global fan base has increased 10 fold and we can really negotiate hard.

Semi finals as a barometer of success, jesus man have some dignity

That story has nothing to do with our home record. You should be happy that we're trying to do stuff here yo
