Two of them pictures are taken on the same billboard, hopefully that means that we will see them in the stadium on Saturday.

Firstly I have never mentioned Green. I am aware what some people believe to be the case but I have no evidence myself.

The Board will be presented reports, in the case of Everton I would guess at finance, premises, ground move, commercial, PR, Premier League & other competition issues, EITC, playing matters, future player funding requirements and contract renewal negotiations.

From that information they will consider whether the club is meeting objectives previously set by the Board and secondly whether or not strategies have to be changed in the light of changing conditions and/or the status of several KPIs.

Elstone (and Kenyon) will be accountable at these meetings and will ne directed as to future strategy to execute. Martinez will no doubt discuss playing matters/transfer targets/disposals.

The key is that all the Directors are significant shareholders and thus have a keen interest in the club meeting the objectives they themselves have set.

The question is, are those objectives good enough for a club of this standing?

Esk, who are Everton's accountants? do you know?

Crap font like. 'N's look like 'W's..

First thing I was taught in a university lecture by a visiting speaker who was brought in to give a talk.

Has been right in my experience too. There's a reason why generally boards don't set strategy but rather sign off on strategy or hire the person who's strategy they agree with.

Too many cooks.

Do you really think Green knows the business well enough to propose anything? Elstone is the only person with the details who knows it well enough. To go above his head and impose strategy upon him would be disastrous.

Define disastrous please. Because a good argument could be made for that very outcome having been achieved already.

All our commercial activity has a strategy, do a deal with anyone who'll have us.

part of the problem is bill's net worth is a benteke

Can't recall reading who the accountants are, Deloittes are the current auditors.

Will check when back from holiday

You have a point there

"Interesting" times if we are skint again despite the millions gifted to every Premier League team.

Sadly, I think that outside of GOT the majority of Evertonians are happy, or at least content, with the work of the current board, which is bemusing.

We are in the process of becoming a bottom half club and I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years avoiding relegation is seen as a success. Over the last 20 years there have been numerous wasted opportunities of getting closer to the top again; I fear that the upcoming decisions (or non-decisions) we will make in the near future with regards to stadium, playing staff etc will see us not being able to simply keep up. Zero trust in the people leading the club.

Something big need to happen.

We're not skint by virtue of the broadcasting revenues flooding into the Premiership.

However given the accumulated deficit from previous years and the lack of working capital the Board has to decide whether to invest in the playing squad or reduce debt.

The indications are that they're prepared to back the manager. However the situation would be so much easier if they, or someone else was allowed to provide the capital desperately required to keep up with bigger spending clubs.

Embarrassing, it's okay though because he's the self appointed biggest blue in the world and we don't want to be another Portsmouth now do we

Is there something not allowing them to provide capital?

This is a massive transfer window - one that could finally open the eyes of a lot of supporters.

Once the window is shut and our business (or lack of) is done, there could be a lot more fans wanting to publicly show their disdain for our chairman and our board.

The atmosphere on Saturday was a pressure cooker just waiting to blow - and it didn't take long for that to happen. As soon as the fans blow and vent off their frustration it has a negative effect on the team. Although this is not the intended result of the groans and boos, it is a very real reaction to the (justified) ill feeling around the club right now.

It's difficult to support the players and show lack of support for the board at the same time. It can easily make a team low on confidence perform even worse and certainly make the team look less attractive to potential new signings.

Unless the club manage to pull a blinder and sign at least a couple of quality players - they might/should have a very nasty situation on their hands.

If Stones is sold... that should be the straw that broke the camel's back (not Kone's camel though... we may need him yet....).

It's so depressing to have such a wealth of young talent in the squad yet no wealth in the old charlatans that run the club

No, poor English on my part
