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

Ha ha he did come across as being a bit simple

Fully agreed, that was my over riding emotion. I didn't want to be hypercritical but I just wish they'd do things a bit more delicately, if they give enough rope then the club will hang themselves in the eyes of the fans, so I'd like the churlish stuff to be swerved as it only makes the BU come across as petty. Didn't like these bits:

The beginning bit, it's an intro to set an influential stance on it rather than being a transcript. It was pretty much their conclusions and selected bits And why the unpaid leave stuff? I don't get why that's important?

Using Blackburn as a positive example. Come on. Saying they might be sat here with Championships in five years time clearly isn't going to happen.

Asking the Yankees to buy us as they hate the Red Sox. So it's ok for Everton to be an American plaything born out of spite? Would you propose them to take over the club based on that anyway? You get laughed at. Not to mention the owner of them is pretty much a [Poor language removed] who gets laughed at by the rest of the US.

The questioning of the Other Operating Costs. Look at Villa and Spurs OOC, they're comparable. As Bill stated the accounts have to go through various chartered accountants and legal processes so it's clear there is no siphoning. He doesn't take a wage ffs, there's other things you can get him on than that, it just makes the BU look paranoid and into conspiracy theories.

Pushing the merits of the Football Quarter. Do they have a mandate from the fans for that or it is a personal interest? Careful ground they're treading there after Kirkby.

Them coming across as "we don't want to work against you" and that. It's complete contrary to how they've been acting and what they've been saying. Large factions of that have been militant against him. Be consistent at least.

They're three blues trying to get some idea of what's going on, sound I appreciate that. He's sat and answered all of their questions and clarified a few things. I could now do a list of what I didn't like what he said and it would be a lot longer clearly. The BU would gain more popular support if they stopped coming across as churlish and smarmy though. If they're professional about it then they could really get a foothold in the support, but they need to be bit more PR savvy.

My thoughts anyway, for what it's worth. I appreciate them having a go.

Absolutely spot on. Have some imaginary rep.

If a car was worth 10k and when you enquired about it you were told you could have it for 100k would you buy it because that is the scenario with our club.
The future is bright the future is orange or is that philip green thats orange.

you cant just say that is the scenario without some sort of proof mate. I see it, from the interview that hes much more interested in the person buying the club as opposed to how much they are paying.

but hey maybe we are both wrong!

 

[Warzycha's Caterpillar]

Slightly different take here.. What IF, he has set this whole thing up, knowing full well our sad state of affairs will be broadcast across the entire globe once the transcript was released?

Could this not instigate an aggressive takeover from some opportunist thinking he can get a top 7 premiership club on the cheap?

Has Bill played Blue Union to fish for business? Or am I giving him too much credit?

To be fair to Silas, he is super about stuff like this, he likes the feedback.

He does not care mate if we have been for sale for as long as he says and they are working 24/7 i would have now expected to have new owners.
He has no intention of selling he justs wants to be chairman he is that vain and i am surprised he was sat for the interview he lies that much.
He would say anything mate to buy himself more time

no mate.... Bill is not that clever - I have it on good authority that he is stuck on a level 1 sudoku puzzle printed in the August edition of the Early Learning Centre Monthly.

But again thats entirely speculative! Im not saying everything he is doing is perfect by any stretch of the imagination but i really don't think he is bare faced lying to us all.

Yes, you can tell from his reaction. Causing a rift doesn't help anyone. We need a win-win situation really. I thought generally the BU did well. I honestly felt sorry for Bill, not a million miles away from this...

If that's the case then I am glad we were played.

Doesnt this paint a picture that were more vulnerable to players getting sold off cheaper than there worth

Why would you expect to have new owners?

Just because you want to sell something doesent mean someone wants to buy it

A great club like ours with its history and fan base if the price was reasonable would have been sold,look at all the other clubs which have sold while we have supposedly been for sale,qpr,liverppol,man city,aston villa,sunderland,newcastle,birmingham,leicester,portsmouth,wolves,west bromand others

Mate he is a liar thats what he does

City bought out because they had a state of the art staduim,same for Liverpool,Newcastle and Sunderland

Wolves where bought by Morgan I think a live long R/S fan who got the club for a token fee of £10

Less said about Birmingham the better

Not sure about West Brom thought the had the same owner since 2002

Leicester and Portsmouth do me a favor lad they where sold for something like 6m and Portsmouth went into admin
