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

[Baines' left foot]

Honestly, the fans should walk away and just start again from scratch. Maybe in 200 years our descendants (if the New World order hasn't microchipped them all to death) could be watching a Barcelona-style fans-orientated club rather than the unfathomable, spectacularly insanely run comedy club that is today's Everton FC.

For now though, I've decided I'm not bringing my lad up to be a Toffeeman; life's too short and there's enough stress as is with the global economy falling apart and austerity kicking in without choosing that as a never ending source of annoyance. He can find a bandwagon and jump on it; sure, he can be as profoundly vacuous as all the blowhards who support elite sides but at least he'll enjoy the occasional trophy win. Which is, after all, the object of being a football fan, notwithstanding all the ostensibly virtuous alternative reasons spouted by so many.

I've got to be honest with you mate, I completely disagree.

Bankrupt.

I expected no more from Yesterdays man, tbh.

Do you really think these lads are spoofing this?

*sigh*

I think the whole thing is open into a certain interprutation/spin - yes - which seems to me done pretty low brow and fairly obvoious of an agenda - they could have been more subtle, while im also concious of who put into the public domain.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

One minute he's stating that he is the best person to sell the club, and we're pretty much fucked without him - then when pressed on why the club hasn't been sold - he says he hasn't got a clue!!!!!!

Then he bangs on about what good Keith Harris is doing, and how much he rates him - then he says that the same Keith Harris introduced a couple of Jarg buyers to him, one of whom claimed to be the head of ICI!!!! - Well tickle me danglers - nice work Keith, stick to fingering that green duck you massive bellend.

On the basis of this meeting transcript Bill Kenwright is not worthy of managing our football club

"Bill went on to tell a story concerning Keith Harris; he’d put forward two guys who, in his opinion, were suitable potential owners of Everton Football Club. Harris claimed the two guys controlled a hedge fund; one was the head of ICI in the Far East and a second an inventor. They conducted due diligence and Everton were ready to sign an agreement when Bill smelt a rat; investigators discovered that ICI had never heard of the person concerned, he actually lived in one bedroom flat, and the second guy, the inventor, was based in Manchester."

Is there a medical condition that causes people to make up insanely improbable stories to regale others with, even though the content portrays the story teller themselves as a ****ing idiot ?

I'll fume if any new chairman takes petrol and mobile expenses out of our club. FUME.

And leave themselves open to libel action? I think not...no-one could be that stupid ....(except maybe Bill and Keith)

You're so, so wrong. You don't get it mate.

No, YOU don't get it. I remember how good it felt to be supporting what was widely regarded as the best side in Europe, only to see them denied their chance to win the European Cup thanks to Heysel. I will never be happy with us being plucky underdogs or bouncing off "glass ceilings". If the point of following a team is tradition, camaraderie, hating your local rivals, etc, etc, you might as well support Doncaster Rovers. You'll get all that without the burden of hoping / expecting to ever see silverware.

He was 'meeting someone five o'clock' that afternoon of the interview to talk takeover business.

It's almost beyond satire.

Go and buy one of these then mate:

This thread is libalous if anyone was arsed mate, in fact all the internet really.

 

[Stoko]

That is a disturbing read. It's clear that he cares emotionally and I seriously doubt he is on the take but he is massively out of his depth. He doesn't seem to have any kind of business acumen and he doesnt seem to know any of the finer details of what is going on at the club.

I really do fear for our future.

Err I was supporting that same team throughout the eighties. Through the thick and thin mate. I'd love to see us win shiny stuff again, it occupies most of my dreams of an evening trying to get myself to sleep when I have a moment. But if we never do I'll still love Everton more than anything on this planet. And if I had a lad, I'd want to see him get that.

You're a gloryhunter, so you wouldn't understand.

By his own admission there, he's begging banks not to close the club down for at least another season. I'm sure that goes down well with nervy banks.
