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

[mooseatingnome]

Look at yourself, Look how many infractions you have picked up already in such a short space of time.

You want to have a constructive debate then when change the red cards to green cards, I will be all ears.

is this another version of the 'I'm-a-better-fan-than-you because...' game?

I constructive debate is EXACTLY whats needed...with neither side resorting to 'jokes' etc., when they can't be bothered answering a point properly. I don't really understand your post above, any chance you could repost it explaining what you mean about green cards and red cards?

I wouldn't take that from him if I was you Steve, lad.

Kenwrongs right on this, we don't seem to be shown as much as we should really.

Although i think a few years ago seemingly every game in the second half of the season seemed to be on!

Mind you, i think i'd rather not be on ESPN the rs loving turds.

There's something obscene about Kenwright berating a tv company for lowering Everton's turnover. He's relied overwhelmingly on tv cash to keep him in control of the club for 13 years. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

The feller screws two stadium schemes up, fails to put a penny into Everton, and oversees a shocking commercial organisation...then he points the finger at ESPN for not showing a couple of games to add a few quid to the coffers.

He's got some brass neck on him.

I'm not a 'lad' for starters, and if you were not having a dig at Kenwright, you should try to choose your words a little better. And if you find the opinion of a fellow Evertonian 'offensive' it is you who is being divisive. There are plenty on here who show genuine concerns about the club(just as supporters of other clubs show concern for their clubs) but on here, and, yes, on Kipper as well, too many people have no strategy other than to abuse one man. The Blue Union made a complete bollocks of a great opportunity to open a dialogue with the club...it would not have been easy but there was a great opportunity, but they seemed to do nothing more than make Kenwright look foolish, as if this was some sort of triumph. Just the mention of the word 'Kenwright, sets some people off on completely unreasonable rants. There was no harm in BK asking or suggesting that we deserved more coverage on TV. People HAVE been moaning for years about the apparent lack of airtime we get, the order of our game on MOTD, as if it was some sort of conspiracy, which it plainly isn't. It may be that Bills suggestions have no effect, but there is absolutely no harm in stating our case. The BU lost the chance for positive discussion, so now were back to the witch hunt. When you want to have a go at BK, apparently, common sense goes out of the window. I don't know a lot about the ESA, is it made up of small shareholders? If so, their vote carries little weight in the grand scheme of things, the majority of shares being held by the board. The best way to have your voice heard is by trying to get one of the board members on your 'side'....virtually impossible. From BKs point of view, it might be a good start to allow a representative of the ESA to attend board meetings? I still doubt whether much could be changed, however. But simply abusing people is the wrong way to go about things, thats for certain.

And breath......

Just need the BVI to follow suit and we can see who really owns the shares of BCR Sports. I have a feeling it wont be solely some ill-fitting syrup wearing restauranteur.

 

[Bluesnapper]

Because of ESPN?

Because while he and his cronies are in power, Everton Football Club will never reach the upper echelons of English Football.

I've re-read that Kenwright/Blue Union transcript and all it shows is that Kenwright is a keen Blue who bumbles along but in the midst of all this criticism there seems to be a glaring ignorance amonst some fans as to what Kenwright's job is.

He's not an Executive Chairman so like loads of other non-exec chairman across hundreds of companies he's a figurehead and nothing more. He's not running the club on a day to day basis. A three hour chat like this with even Kenwright so clearly off-guard did not end up with any 'smoking guns'. The Blue Union could/should have used this meeting as the start of a constructive dialogue.

As Blues treck down to Southampton for tonight's match or make plans for the match on TV I wonder how many would swap Kenwright for the Southampton chairman Nicola Cortese (and whoever controls former owner Markus Liebherr's estate)? Sacking Adkins after two promotions and a reasonable recent turn of form?

I note in the Blue Union interview with Kenwright the start of that interview is full of questions as to why Bill didn't sell to the Venkys.

Indeed, the net is getting tighter and BVI will be next.

Also, it can't be discounted that someone spiked Bill's drink with an hallucinogenic to make his comments more disjointed, surreal, and unusual than they would be normally.
