hes already said hes been contacting journalists himself. think he said only one was interested, the rest dont want to know, bills influence on the media is far reaching.

Yeah he has, but if it was put in a format where it's easy to read all in one go it could be put on to forums or maybe even emailed directly to journalists. Also it would make great reading for someone who still thinks the board is doing a great job. If it was in a word format and then put on a forum it would be a great read. Just a idea like
 
I had a look at the watched Toffee twitter feed - fair play - but much of it is stuff we already know and already out there in the public and opinion.

He is dead right though to raise the issues. The BCR stuff in praticualr, we have long debates on it here going back i think to 2010.
 
I continue to totally disagree with you on this. It's the middle ground evertonians that need to be won over and it's these blues who have no idea what's happened in the past.

That's without getting into the idea of educating the media on the past means they might actually look into us Properly instead of just spouting opinion

Appreciate you disagree mate.

My reasoning is as follows.

I think we need to look forward and present simple messages to the Board and the press that have an undeniable business logic.

The questions should centre on how the club can be competitive on the pitch through the course of the next broadcasting deal.

The current business strategy will not allow us to be competitive without an even greater level of out-performance relative to our expenditure than we've seen over the last 10 years - high risk and unsustainable in my view.

The future growth in income disparity and availability of capital to invest in the team and income generation activities will significantly impact the ability of the Board to attract investment or sell the club at a price acceptable to them as current owners.

So the need to invest, bring in investors or if they cannot do that, sell the club has an urgency greater than almost anyone imagines.

The fans should pressurise the Board for sure, but it should be about their future plans not the past.

Failure to re-capitalise now will have dire consequences for us as supporters and the Board as shareholders.

But most of their opinions is based on how they see the past. Unsure how you challenge their opinions without talking about the past!?

By talking about the challenges of the near future and the consequences of not meeting them.

I appreciate not many will agree with this strategy but if you study how political change occurs in conflict situations, barring a revolution (which can't happen in a privately owned company) resolution can only be found by looking forwards not backwards.
 
The current board have left this club in a total financial mess.

God forbid if we ever do get relegated, it will be the death of us.
 
Let's be fair , the real issue with the Saintly one is that he has surrounded himself with useless advisors and a board who won't invest their own money. Bill himself does care about the club and he is a half decent figure head . His stories about his childhood are like a poor Jedi mind trick .

Any transition would be better if he was part of it . In a public but benign fashion .
I don't agree with any of that. We're not talking about a vulnerable man here. Did you hear how he was talking in the leaked Blue Union tapes? He is a fraud.

A man who has failed miserably at everything he has tried to achieve at this club has no place in our future.

Yes, HE'S surrounded himeself with useless advisors. HE should sack them. Yes, he brought in earl to replace gregg - someone he demonised as an anti-Evertonian by claiming gregg never went to the match......But then we got earl, and bill's allowed a pass on that one?

Bill himself does care about the club and he is a half decent figure head

Does he care about the club more than he does making a killing from his stock? Why did he oust gregg & replace with earl? Why was the money for KD 'ring-fenced'? Why was he a GfE donor, but years later a staunch proponent of kirby?

Half-decent figurehead? You yourself have said he's surrounded hisself with useless advisors. He hasn't got shut of them.

And what about the AGM where suntan said words to the effect of "No question is off limits" , and then 15 minutes - MINUTES - later, when asked to put a value on the club, bolly billox says: "I'm not answering your question; I'm bored of that question, next question"

Half-decent figurehead MY ARSE.

His stories about his childhood are like a poor Jedi mind trick

Well at least that's about right. Only the feeble-minded believe them tall tales.

Any transition would be better if he was part of it . In a public but benign fashion .

Seeing as he appointed himself the best man for the job (And nothing to do with him owning 26% of the club) he hasn't done too well in selling publically or privately, has he?
 
More very interesting tweets by @watchedtoffee on twitter regarding elsestone and our business dealings

I dont know how accurate they are - I havent looked into it myself, however they are certainly alarming to be reading as they pop up.

He/she is canvassing Collymore to get involved - tbh, right now i think he is the only one with a bit of balls to do it aswell.

Media wise, not sure who isnt towing the clubs line.

He certainly seems clued up on the ins and outs of our business/account dealings. He's proactively trying to get Stan to look in to it or at least read what he's tweeting. Stan must have taken a bit of notice as he's favourtised one of his tweets

Yep just noticed that myself. To be honest he would have to be relatively clued up otherwise they would be left open to ridicule... I am wondering how long the counter arguments will take from the club.

Interestingly its taken longer then i thought, then reading between the lines with the pro-Kenwright stuff maybe the wheels have started.

I hope someone with a bit of balls does pick it up and puts it in the open, this Power 8 stuff is really alarming, i posted a link about it a while back and its amazing we managed to get into bed with them - yet we researched someone who was interested in buying us so much we found out they where living in a bedsit in manchester hahaha.

Makes you wonder, conflict of interest in there somewhere? Always wondered where Bob got his suntan from
