The Everton Board Thread (Inc. Bill Kenwright / Blue Union)

[BlackToffee]

I dont see where my interpretation is essentially at fault, tbh. What he wants is a bunch of Uncle Toms telling him he's doing a bang on job, not people with real issues for him to deal with.

No you don't Davek. That's the point. Your more blinkered than those horses in races.

Beating on a man because he does a charity ride. Shame on you. You're the Daily Mail of GOT.

I still think Mr Elstone is a complete cnut for doing a 'Ratner', but he's is not far wrong in assuming in acting as a go-between the board and club supporters will be a futile one at best. For a start he is hardly going to support and facilitate disruptions to the business and removal of a board. FFS lids, he is employed by the board to do a specific job for them, so he's hardly gonna stab them in the back.

Yeah but when he says that group has the ousting of the current board as one of it's explicit aims, he's lying. It doesn't.

You are of course technically correct, just checked on their website. Unfortunately some of the primary movers involved in E4C are well known for their views and I suspect that it is this he is referring to. If the Simon referred to in the letter is the site owner of NSNO it would be a fair to assume that the group shares his views which are well known to Robert.

He is not the devil's advocate, never will be.

Fair point.

I don't know what that means.

 

[manxtoffee]

FWIW I'm not Kentight's or Elstone's biggest fan, I doubt many of us are. They strike me as painfully slow and reactive to market changes.
I'm just trying point out that the board etc are business people who think in a business like way and while I also respect many a fan's views, but many fans often regardless of club act like little selfish tits demanding their boards to adhere to their every whim. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but we're now at a stage where football clubs need to be run like a business.

No wonder the economy's ****ed then, like us.

 

[manxtoffee]

Usually a phase reserved for Davek, but can used as a parlance or idiom to the point of scepticism.

It's not mate, Simon Magner not Simon from NSNO.

 

[Silas]

Nice one for trying mate, to be honest that letter doesn't come across too well in my opinion. You won't get any sort of dialogue with the powers that be being churlish like that.

But at least you're having a go while I'm sat here in my bills.

Fair enough mate although the temptation to say "he started it" in terms of churlishness is very strong! Rock and a hard place tbh, some say stop apologising and being reasonable, others say don't be rude to him.

all this talk deflects from the real questions and answers. in the time in charge of the club, has the current board done the best they possibly can to move the forward? the only answer is no. why?
the loss of KD is the single most important f''k up by this board, for the club anyway. no other decision they have made comes close to making this look good.and that for me marks them down as not fit for purpose.

 

[BlackToffee]

Apologies. Now Simon aka NSNO, please don't get those lawyer things after me. It was a honest mistake.

Thanks for the correction Silas, much appreciated.

Broken record. I gather you don't trust the board. I think I got that on your 720'th post.

Ever thought of playing a new one, that Bryan Ferry song is so irritating. b)

 

[Tubey]

It amazes me that the defence of Kenwright is that "we're not as screwed as <insert club here>", instead of attempting to point out how we're actually better off with Kenwright in charge.

It's political mudslinging to deflect the issue.

Kenwright is exactly the same as Sepp Blatter, but in a microcosm. Yet the same people defending Bill will criticise Blatter, because "Blue Bill" has completely mesmorised them.

I've only posted two or three times in this thread because I really don't see the point in contributing "properly", as those who think the sun shines out of Bills backside will think it no matter how big the mountain of evidence to the contrary is. And vice versa I guess, but those who argue that Kenwright is good for our club are trying to argue that the sky is green in my eyes.

And once more, Kenwright himself acknowledges that he can't run a football club in his situation in the modern game - that's from the horses mouth - and that's before you count up the King's Dock/Fortress Sports Fund/Destination Kirkby/Wyness cock-ups.

He literally invested a few quid almost twenty years ago, got an investment that has massively increased in value, invested absolutely no personal funds in all that times and will make a killing when he sells the club).

And people applaud him for it.

hmm ,i posted my opinion on a thread about the board, its the same opinion i admit, but thats because no one has given me a good reason to change it. if you find this boring, skip my posts, or, try to give me something that will change my mind and opinion. i am not a closed book, as i previously supported BK. it was only HIS actions that changed my opinion. the floor is yours.
