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

[ToffeeDoug]

Wright looked like he had an attention span of about 20 seconds before he got bored with something; presumably the other two are there to help him out on anything tricky.

Wonder if those in support of the board will give the usual 'careful what you wish for' about suntan bob.........If it's right, of course......

FFS, another massive pay off gagging order to fund at the club's expense

Read that it is to do with that Pyramid8 sponsor deal. Only rumours like.

Square pegs in round holes. That is only
A start

For me it's the main part. He's an absolute incompetent CEO who can't sell us to big sponsors while taking a huge wage. He doesn't do his job well at all.

Ian seem almost pissed off at the idea of us not selling.

They seem incapable of understanding the simple point that we all know every player has his price and that it is unlikely that Stones(or any player in football) will spend whole career with us(one club). That does not mean he has to go now or that the money offered now is any where near enough to lead to a sale. These guys are actually too thick to think beyond " it will happen eventually so it might as well happen now" sigh for lack of intelligence in football world!
That said well known politician showed hersef to be a totally prat on BBC this morning but no one picked her up on it but that belongs in Alehouse thread.
Well done @theesk for good contribution to debate.

Hey @chicoazul - Oh, look who has arrived.....

As I called it, the other night.

TIME TO STICK NOT TWIST AT GOODISON PARK

Apparently, it’s time for Bill Kenwright and the rest of the Everton board to make way. Great. For who, exactly?

The faction who organised a fly-past protest, only to then watch their team win 3-0 away at Southampton? They might not be the sharpest minds to put in charge of Everton’s budget.

A seller needs a buyer, and until a serious one emerges, it may be an idea to stick with Kenwright for now. He seems to know what he is doing.

He's an odious bell. I'd be more concerned at agreeing with any of his view points.

Nothing more than a middle class troll.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

They want to dance around what are, after all these years of supposed "looking for investment" failures, simple truths... @the esk is just distilling BS down to simple facts, given the apparent truths we've been shoveled and where they've NOT lead.

 

[EFCPaul]

Took long for Bill's media mates to come out and defend him again. He seems to know what he's doing?! Over the course of 16 years there's been no money brought in comercially, no new stadium and no progress at all in finding any investment. Of course he knows what he's doing.

Don't think I've come across many things as wrong and stupid as that before. Every word and the sarcastic tone of it is wrong from start to finish.

"until a serious one emerges" - he seems to think that one is going to slowly appear through a haze of smoke like the Lady of the Lake.

"a faction" - proper Board putdown that term.

"might not be the sharpest minds to put in charge of Everton’s budget" - yes like they want to buy Bill's shareholding and run the club themselves.

"TIME TO STICK NOT TWIST" - twist in favour of who exactly ?

What an utter clueless tit the author of that piece is.

 

[SNova]

Just seen MOTD Extra 2 on BBC2.

Absolutely fewwwwwwmin here.

Discussion of the protest - basic gist was what are they protesting for, what do they expect, they spent £30m on Lukaku, what do they want? Bill isnt a billionaire you know! This was all from Charlie Adam (!!!). Like, wtf is he doing as a pundit anyway, commenting on us?

Danny Mills then said finishing 8th or 9th would be a good season for Everton, and basically patronised us and put us in the same bracket as Swansea and Stoke.

It took all restraint I had not to throw something through the TV screen.

Was also fuming mate. Muppets.

 

[Chang Elephant]

Martin Samuel today, Mike Parry on talksport on Friday, the calibre of Bill's friends is telling

'HE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING'

I honestly don't get why Everton winning changes literally anything in regards to the banner. One should have nothing to do with the other..

 

[BoysInBlue]

Martin Samuel - "might not be the sharpest minds to put in charge of Everton’s budget" - yes like they want to buy Bill's shareholding and run the club themselves.

The thing that annoyed me about that is that protest was never about the players or the manager. The result has/had absolutely zero bearing on whether the plane banner was right or not or justified or not.

This insinuation that just because we won 3-0, 'oh well, they must be dead embarrassed now' - it misses the point by a million, gazillion, billion miles. Winning 10-0 on Saturday wouldn't have made up for the list of calamities the current board has overseen and continues to oversee.

You get these media apologists for Kenwright who are happy to say he's doing a great job, yet at the same time, put us down as a mid-table club. We are a mid-table club because of Kenwright, because he changed the perception of the club from one of English football's giants to an also ran. The idea that we are where we are, and we have the level of money we have, and that this can never change. Yeah, it can never change whilst Kenwright owns the club and won't let go for no less than £200m.

It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Yeah I thought it was far to cutting and personalised to be taken seriously as an argument for preserving the status quo. He has clearly no understanding of the difference between what is happening on the pitch and what is (not) happening off it. Either that or it is just rank bad lazy journalism.
