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

[ijjysmith]

No more Villa threads. Period. I could care less what Villa is or isn't doing.

This is correct

oh dear god how can anyone believe that? and as for saving us from league 1 that,my friend, has more to do with the manager working financial miracles than ol billy boys chairmanship.

Anyone who thinks Kenwright saved us from god knows what say AIIIIIII!

This is the truth that Damon cant handle. We're in purgatory - neither damned nor gaining salvation. And it suits the owners down to the ground.

It's a truly horrific state of affairs. A football club going through the motions with no hope of glory...but at least we're not Portsmouth, West ham, Villa...

Elstone, a qualified accountant who has previously worked for Deloitte and rugby league side Castleford Tigers (have that Damon!) said: “I know ultimately the Champions League is where we want to be. We want to be pushing for that.

“We’ve achieved UEFA Cup status so what’s next it’s Champions League and that’s where this club wants to be. “Continued European qualification helps us in a number of ways. Last season our UEFA Cup campaign was very lucrative for us and was very valuable. I’m sure it’s also a big factor in attracting footballers to this club. In many ways it’s where we need to be.” Robert Elstone - 2009.


"I still think that looking at the league table there is a good chance we will be in Europe next season. Champions League football comes with a big wage bill, that’s a wage bill that becoming harder and harder to find....those clubs fortunate enough to boast a rich and generous benefactor undoubtedly have a clearly defined advantage".” Robert Elstone 2011

Matt, I was wondering - genuinely - why you think Kenwright will start looking at infrastructure? Do you not believe anymore, that he is getting things in order, with the basis of selling the club on?

This is a real, non jokey question (I know, it never happens) and I only ask it as you were so convinced of this being the case, back in January (£50 with Paddy Power, I think?).

I defend Kenwright! He saved us you utter morons. SAVED us. Without him, we would probably be somewhere around League 1. No matter what's going on now, he deserves your respect. So many people don't even give him that. Secondly, he loves the club and I'd much rather have someone in charge who genuinly loves the club than some American who employs a manager who just got our greatest rivals relegated. He WILL sell, but only to a person with the best interests of Everton Football Club at heart. Not just to the first high bidder. I also am well aware he has to do what's best for himself as well. Wouldn't you? It's his business and he has a family to provide for. When someone comes in with a sustainable and long term goal for the future of Everton, and also happens to have mega bucks, that is when Kenwright will sell.

Moral of this post: people from Luton are shit at wind-ups.

The feller's incapable of consistency. He makes it up on the hoof to suit the agenda.

The fanfare of trumpets for him when he took over from Wyness - that he was the real brains behind the scene and Wyness was some gaffe prone duffer. Two years in the job and what has he done? Presided over the demise of Destination Kirkby, rescinded the right of members to hold AGMs after an unbroken tradition since 1892, signed EFC up to bog standard PL sponsorship deals, and totally screwed up a building project to erect a retail annexe at Goodison.

Still, at least he got a few mountain bike holidays in.

The £250,000 scouting fees to Kenwright rumour is 100% false. It's £244,000 in 'emoluments' paid to QUOTE "directors". This includes refundable expenses.

On the other hand I do love the politix and little sub plots on here.

It's like a massive game of snidey chess.

It is indeed.

Wasnt that a one off for 2009 and only for the year - not, as per Matt Damon, per month? The 2009 figure probably relates to a one off payment made to Wyness for the great job he did!!

 

[Mvflusk]

Not sure what Damon said but that's the only thing in the accounts which looks or sounds like "£250 grand to kenwright".

Who came up with "scouting fees" anyway? That's a clever one, they could put it on Scarf 2: Scarf Harder.

Yeah i just checked and its a a yearly amount of £244,000 p[aid in 2009 but not in 2010.

So those mysterious payments no one else but damon knows about must be coming from somewhere else.

 

[Mvflusk]

Or, crazy ideas, they don't exist?

Also, it wasn't a one off. 470 in 2008 (32 of which was to pensions) 426 in 2007.

In any case, the figure as you say for 2010 was 0. That's all that matters to me.

Just looking back through the accounts over the past decade, and the emolument payment is pretty consistently paid. That's roughly four directors per season over the period = (on the mode sum of £250,000) £62,500 each. You'd think, given that no dividend is ever expected by shareholders, they'd waive that amount. Apparently not.

Yeah they could, but they don't.

It could be a hell of a lot more though really.

Where's damon gone now, off playing golf again?
