kenwright

you wont get no joy out of it, he wont come out and let anyone no the real debt were in, he thinks hes doing a good job, and he only understands ££££££££££££££ so send youre season tickets back and just maybe he will give the fans a reply, other than that same **** every year, nothing new and aint going to change now or in the near future,
 
Great work Bill and the rest of the lads in the boardroom for coming up with the idea of a blue home shirt this season. Some say it was an easy commercial decision to opt for the blue shirt/white shorts combo, but sometimes such judgement is lacking in other boardrooms. Look at Sunderland - they chose not to play in blue again this year.

At least we're not Sunderland.
 

For those interested I met Graeme Sharp on behalf of Evertonians for Change today. I would post a link to our site but it's down so I have blogged elsewhere. Don't want to spam the boards with another forums links so those interested can catch what he said on the facebook link.

I believe suntan declined the offer, not too impressed.

They have to have fans forums and meetings though , as well as appoint spmeone like sharpy..

Under Article 35 of the new UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, clubs will have the obligation to appoint a Supporters Liason Officer (SLO) to ensure a proper and constructive dialogue between a club and its fans.
The SLO concept, which has been under consideration for some time, has gained full approval from the national associations represented in the UEFA Club Licensing Committee and has been drawn up with the strong cooperation of Supporters Direct.
Supporter liaison officers at clubs already exist in a limited number of European countries and primarily help improve the dialogue between the fans and the clubs they follow. Most importantly, SLOs must be credible with supporters, and therefore should have experience with, and contacts to, the networks in the clubs fan base.
They inform supporters about relevant decisions made by the clubs management board and, in the other direction, communicate the needs of the fans to the board.

By meeting with a group that are 'Representatives' of the supporters they have fulfilled their obligation, others may now find it more difficult to get a meeting.

as always, do the bare minimum required, thanks bill, your a star.

Actually while Reidy is correct, there is actually no laid down minimum in terms of amount of meetings required, who the club needs to be meeting so without a proper yard stick (i.e. other clubs required to do same and what they do), we can't determine that what they do is "the minimum required".

Yes, I'm being a bit of a pedantic, but a lot of discussions on this board are not based on the full facts at hand. In fact the actual handbook only requires clubs to appoint an officer who acts as the point of contact; to quote the full "regulations"

Article 35

Support Liaison Officer

1. The licence applicant must have appointed a liaison officer to act as the key contact point for supporters

2. The Supporter Liaison Officer must regularly attend meetings with the clubs management and must collaborate with the security officer on safety and security related matters.

I think some people are over-reacting - whilst there are areas of concern we all have I don't think, in most instances, the club is found wanting with regard to caring about what the fans think. Given that Everton lead the way in many community initiatives and of course the EFPF and the very reasonable pricing policy on season tickets (when you compare with other clubs) I can't believe the club is failing in this particular duty. Sure it's not perfect and we can't forget the DK fiasco for example (but the club were trying to consult and were trying to improve - even if on a false premise) but it's better than many of the PL clubs - our fans aren't climbing the wall (Aston Villa fans), getting chucked out (Man U), rioting on the streets (Newcastle) or the like - you can also judge the relationship between the chairman and Moyes as another yardstick by which the club behaves (compared to rivals) as well as the (relative) loyalty of the playing staff - even before the paring of the squad to a minimum many of the players have been around a lot longer than other teams' playing squads which are turning over at an alarming rate.
