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

[Goat]

Its like a new signing.

 

[TX Bill]

Well we tried to sell the thread but the other team only wanted it on loan.

 

[The Equaliser]

Rejoice.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Apparently the thread has the same agent as John Obi Mikel.

 

[Brennan]

So then, what about those offers Kenwright turned down ?

'The Everton boss warned that his players must work harder than ever this season, while the club should strive to limit the long-term effect of its current financial problems. And he says the Blades, who visit Goodison tonight in the second round of the Carling Cup, are an example of how quickly prominent clubs can unravel following their relegation from the Premier League in 2007, and last season’s slump into the third tier of English football. He said: “It shows you what can happen. You can be a big club, but if you don’t do things correctly and don’t do things right you can find yourself in League One.
It wasn’t too long ago that they were in the Premier League, so that shows that if you don’t do things correctly you can get yourself in trouble. They are a club with a big fan base who are from a big city, so it can be that things can go quite quickly wrong. I am sure they didn’t plan it to go that way. I’m not sure whether their financial situation had anything to do with it. But that’s football. We have to make sure we are not one of the big sides who can quite quickly slip away.”'

Great ambition there Moyesie. At least we're not Shefield United.

The board must be delighted to have this yes man in charge.

That's a disgrace that statement. Proper fuming here at that. ****ing Sheffield United!

I've had it with this manager, tbh. Thanks for the hard work, but dont let us detain you any longer in realising your *massive* ambition elsewhere.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day
Rage, rage against the dying of the light....

Now reinstate the rep system please....

The second page is worse :

Moyes, who has fitness doubts over three of his attackers; Louis Saha, Jermaine Beckford and Tim Cahill, added: “I think we have a good enough squad to make sure we are healthy enough. I think we have a good group of players and I would expect them to come together. “Everton have been in the top flight for any club as long as I can think of, but we have to be aware that we need to keep working hard. I said first of all we need to get to 40 points and then push on from there and I think that will be the reaction of 10-14 clubs will be saying the same.”
Moyes said the Blues, who will line-up with Jan Mucha in goal tonight, are still smarting at last season’s Carling Cup humiliation at the hands of another League One club, Brentford, and the Goodison boss is eager to prevent his side under-performing against lower league opponents.
“You could even say that applies to league games, not just the cup,” he said. “Our last league game before Saturday was against Chelsea and we won. But we don’t go into it with a different frame of mind or prepare the players any less.

“I would hope you would think the manager is not the sort to let the players approach the game differently. It just happens, we have either not performed on the day or it has not gone for us.
“They (Sheffield United) are playing with confidence and passing the ball well. This is a difficult tie, a really difficult tie. They are a big club in their own right.”

​

3 bolded points there :

First, 10 to 14 clubs? Maybe teams who are barely good enough to not get relegated, how can you talk about best squads you've ever had after numerous top 7 finishes then worry about getting 40 points first?

Second, yeah thats the problem Dave, you don't go into with a different frame of mind. Playing Chelsea is different to playing QPR.

Thirdly, you're worried about a league 1 team because they've been passing the ball nicely? Really? Really? REALLY??????????? Its only a difficult tie if you let it be.

You have the option not to read it. Just a thought.

Its with a heavy heart i say this, but the board must go!!! I was one who was calling for patience but it is now clear they cannot run a club to any kind of success.
I still cant see who else will come in with money, my change in opinion is while bill is looking slowly for a buyer what more damage will they do to the club. So we do need to put alot more pressure on the board and become alot more vocal, i just hope we can do it the right way and not come across as bad as the rs did, as this is a great club and deserves to be known as that including its supporters.

I right this on your post (dave) because i argued most with you most on this point.

 

[fozzy]

[Chang Elephant]

Johnson was a much better chairman, just wish he could have stuck it out for a few more years to the time of the NTL deal, Rooney, and Kings Dock.

<awaits inevitable confusion between performance of manager and chairman>
