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

[steken1]

You seriously think that support for the BU had grown from November '11 to March '12?

Ok mate, I think this has run it's course, I'm off home.

No worries, drive safe.

 

[Chang Elephant]

No it isn't, I meant where the march started from, at the back of the grass square next to the Oak.

It's fair to say you're not a Blue Union/KEIOC supporter. In what capacity were you closely observing march numbers from start point to finish on the day ?

Paid, or general internet lunatic capacity ?

I'm a spy, paid in used tenners, out of Bill's secret cash stash, that he wheelbarrowed out of the club & hides in 'other operating costs' on the accounts.

The published sections of it showed Kenwright to be what we've always known he was, a somewhat bumbling luvvie who loves Everton, but hasn't got the money or the ability to facilitate real progress.

And that is why he cannot even get someone interested in buying the club.

If the same interview was the CEO i.e. Elstone, then it'd have been of concern, it opened the window on **** all imo. What it did achieve was ensuring that a door was firmly slammed shut.

You should have read 'email gate' to show how good Elstone is at his job.

I listened to the Radio on the way home from the game.

Greame Sharp was laughing at the BU, saying they must feel stupid that only 1 man and his dog attended the March.

When 1 side feels the need to lie, even when theres video evidence, you know which side has "won".

Greame Sharp is a tosspot, used to respect him before he joined the Boys pen brigade.

It surprises me how people who have been openly slating our board for being poor for years are suggesting that an interview which pointed out was somehow enlightening.
People who have constantly moaned about how we are skint are shocked to find out... that we are skint.
And that people who are constantly talking about Bill, his ego and his love of Bill are surprised and awed to find out that actually Bill has a big ego.. And these amazing discoveries came at the low cost of the group losing any chance of being taken seriously by the club.
It surprises me more that it seems that finding out these things that people already knew is deemed more important than potentially opening a line of communication between fans and the club, especially after many of these same people moaned that there were no lines of communication open between the fans and the club, and Bill and the BU had clearly set up the potential opportunity to do just that.
Its mentioned a page or two back that people got upset because the great leader was outed and that's why the BU was looked down upon.. that's just blx...
Things like publishing to everyone that we need to sell a player to clear some debt.. during a transfer window... is a decision that is potential directly detrimental to the club imo, this was far more worthy of my scorn than painting a bad picture of a board we all know to be rotten.
The BU if anything simply made the gap bigger between the board and the fans despite their best efforts, that interview was sadly their finest hour and the downfall of any hope for their objectives.
Having said that the board are doing their best to give the BU the incentive again so I wouldn't write them off just yet, hopefully though if they are planning on having a voice at the club they will take note of the mistakes of the past and not just jump on anything they can use to try to hang the board with, instead actually make themselves a part of the club and get into the position to offer some informative advice and guidance to board instead of trying to embarrass them. Perhaps become trustworthy enough to the board that they accept the view being put forwards by them isn't just their view but that of the fans and is in fact relevant, but they have to gain enough trust to be able to put forwards any view first and after the last meeting that's possibly never going to happen.

 

[Bluesnapper]

Its Kopite behaviour to blame others in 13 years of inaction, the board cant even get its own shareholders on board and answer their pertinent questions.

"Gain the trust of the board".

Lol. The board that denies even the cap in hand shareholders association an AGM.

 

[Slavan]

the club where never going to take the blue union, everton 4 change, etc anyone group serious who is a threat and wants to ask questions.
Why else do you think the club is in bed with blue kipper?

That's right, the same one that met the BU

 

[Bluenose1995]

only way anything will change is:

1. Kenwright snuffs it.

2. the club is in the depths of chaos and collapse then the board take a low price so Kenwrights ego as "saviour of everton" is maintained rather than the man who sends us the financial collapse.

They need to stop being a 'threat' to start with. They started out being about helping the club, bridging the divide between club and fans, and a few more ambitious projects like the board replacement programme, but they quickly degenerated into being simply another bash the board group.
Shame because clearly after getting a meeting with Bill they had made the first step.. a second step however was never to come.

But your missing the point.
Bill meet them because he under-rated them, he thuoght he could do his usual 'im the worlds biggest blue' act which works so well for sky tv and his media friends and they would fall into line like everyone else.
The fact they could see right through his lies, spin and acting upset Billy boy and co.
Any group who was going to raise serious questions would get the cold shoulder, they wont listen to anyone.
They have their own agenda and a good number of fans go along with it and their friends in the press spread the good word of poor old Bill.

Rubbish they asked serious questions, if he was going to get upset about that he would of ended the interview.

 

[Bluenose1995]

its all about Bill Kenwright doesnt care about the club moving forward aslong as he's in the limelight as the "worlds best evertonian" he's the biggest cowboy around would love to punch the smug of that fat pigs face.
