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

[D410]

We will never be taken over while Kenwright is in charge, the best we can hope for is a certain level of investment to ensure he sees progress and not a total buy out.

He won't budge.

and that seems perfectley acceptable to him even at the cost of trying to move the club to the next level.

New stadium

Oh for an owner who had some money.

Apparently, keyword here, apparently, Kenwright has given Moyes an ultimatum. Laughable if true, he's really in no position to do that.

Twitter, lid.
Hence why i said apparently. The lad who tweeted it said an ex-back room staff member said it.

Interesting if true, pressure is getting on Moyes now. He'll have to make a decision sooner rather than later

Ha Ha - is this your approach? Every few weeks trot out the same old crap? You're a broken record and them some. There's just no point going over the same arguments every 20 or so pages on this thread.

It is possible not to hate Kenwright but still love the club and not be a Moron. Together with your cohorts on here you seek to create such a negative culture that anyone that's not out burning a Bill effigy every night is a bloody devil worshipper.

There is no evidence of any fraud or dodgy dealing in Kenwright's 13 years at the club.

There is no evidence of there being any serious bidders at the door in those 13 years.

Unless you believe that maybe 100+ professionals at the club are "all in on it" then the less than great commercial performance of the club in the last decade is just down to the simple fact that we're not the club we once were. However much it hurts to say it we've got a crap old stadium, we're the second team in a piss poor city and haven't won a title for 25+ years.

Kenwright and the board are responsible for several major cock-ups. Most recently that would be the January transfer window and Moyes' contract farce. Both instances smack of poor business sense. But in both I believe Moyes is the key man and has to shoulder at least half the blame for the Jan window crap and 90% of the blame for his contract.

And of course there are other mistakes as well but all this anti-Kenwright stuff smacks of a playground mentality where a load of big fat kids are jealous of the kid in the corner with nice clothes and a shiney new train set.

If the Blue Union gang spent 10% of their time trying to be constructive then I'd listen.

Likewise if just one half decent, half serious bidder for the club raised their head above the parapet then I'd be all ears and be wanting to give them my full support.

But there isn't and that's my point. This 'leaking' of the Arsenal interest just proves that the complete absence of any such stories surrounding Everton is not down to confidentiality contracts, smoke and mirrors or the power of Philip Green's mafia connections. It is down the very dull reality that nobody fancies us as a business proposition for all the reasons previously given.

To a foreign investor they arnt though.

If true : Well done Bill for once. If another club want Moyles they can pay a bit of comp. like, just like we've dealt with Marouanne

Take your point mate, but in the context of the other points he made in the post, especially the annoying but nevertheless true point that "that lot" are a bigger name/brand in global footie than us, I can see where he is coming from.

Hopefully it's to keep Neville benched on Saturday.

They might not own it, but they can certainly use it for buttons for the next 50 Years.

Thats been dealt with pretty much to death on here TBH. Briefly though, new owners did not need to buy a new stadium, "Manchester" is marketable, and there was some girl who was tight with both parties and brokered the whole deal.
