That will be them banned from Goodison

Is there another fly-by protest over Goodison on Sunday? I read there was somewhere.

Good article, I am pleased they at least, are picking up on some of the points raised here and in the media in recent days.

From the article

"Barry Horne, a member of Everton’s last trophy-winning team, has sympathy for Kenwright. “Other clubs have had help from councils,” he points out. “Other clubs like West Ham have had almost a lottery win. Other clubs have the ability to finance their own stadiums now like Liverpool. Everton aren’t in that position. I can understand the frustration but what is the answer?” On Merseyside, it is a question that will not go away."

The answer is simple.

1. The Board invests in the club.
2. The Board allows others to invest in the club,
3. In the absence of (i) or (ii) they sell the club to someone who can invest.

The problem there is they are not going to do any of that at least if we go by past history

But if they don't they face the very real risk of the value of their holdings in Everton declining and perhaps declining rapidly.

Yep thats true,plus Bill and Woods are getting to an age where they must be considering cashing in,

Indeed it is very simple and was recognised in 1999 and that in itself should be enough for people not to allow this group of chancers anymore time in charge.

They all must go.

The big worry for me is the stadium problem.

When West Ham move to the Olympic Stadium (an utter farce), Gold and Sullivan will sell up to a rich tycoon and make a mint. They could easily turn into another Man City.

That can happen in the next 5 years.

bill would want some sort of enhanced 'emeritus' role, alongside all the fringe benefits that go with it - IF he decided to sell.

He'll probably want the stadium named after him too.

I would let him sit in his old chair on match days.

That's when Stones, McCarthy, Barkley, Lukaku will be in their prime and winning us titles by that time

Oh, he won't be content with slithering himself into the hall of fame, all right. There'll have to be some other, physical, permanent tribute to him.

Gold and Sullivan have a billionaire Russian with them at WHU. Officially he's not one of the owners but he will be taking it over when everything's done and dusted.

Not getting into the board out debate here. But I am coming round to the thinking that we stay at GP. We should endeavour to modernise the ground bit by bit over say 10 years. Surely that could be managed. In saying this I am cioing round to better the devil you know.
