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

[dannyboy]

I know what you mean, he knows how to work the fanbase to prolong his rule. He could promote sheedy and dunc for example knowing full well that the fans will buy in and give them time and more importantly give him time as well.

It,s terrible cynical but rulers will do anything to retain power. I hope the fans see through it if he trys to pull it off becuase sheedy does,nt need to be set up in that way.

It's a stupid analogy but he does run the club like a dictatorship, we've seen in the past how he reacts to criticism (see Blue Union/Shareholders meetings). I think there was a point where he genuinely had the club's intentions at heart and probably in his mind he still thinks he does now.

I'm convinced he sees himself as indispensable to the Everton cause, and this will be the case whether we're challenging for Champions League places or pushing for promotion in the Championship.

I just cant believe our own fans are letting this happen, I have many evertonian mates, I like all you lads on here and I think we have the best fans in the world but I do have a hate for our fanbase aswell for this situation, its like a love hate feeling how has the board managed to sucker the majority in?

It,s been going on for a while but I don,t hate the fans because of the lack of discernment but more that we put our trust in a custodian (whilst bestowing himself titles of blue grandeur) who played smoke and mirrors with our trust.

Don't forget to send this to Moyes as well, because David thinks bill is brilliant.

Yes so brilliant he wont buy into the worlds greatest Evertonians plans and sign the contract that has been placed in front of him for god knows how long.

 

[Bluesnapper]

Right - so what do we as supporters do now ?? We cannot sack the board or Kenwright - are there plans to stay away from the game, protest, what the fek should happen??

The Blue Union was spot on with how to go forward in the matter.

Get professionals who sell the likes of a football club, make sure its one who has contacts around the world, and let them get on with it.

Until that happens and we are sold it wont matter if Mourinho was in charge, things wont change until Kenwright goes.

 

[Bluesnapper]

It really is hard for you 2 understand the environment we are in.
- New stadium
- Investment in team
- Wipe of debt

Forget the stadium issue for now.

A new owner would first pitch he buying price for the club for that debt to be cleared.

From next season TV money is doubled to approx £60million per season, invest most of that in players on the pitch.

Once Goodison is bringing in another 5k of supporters week in week out and its filled to capacity, the new owners can then build a new tier over the PE and plan, yes plan for a new stadium within the north Liverpool area or a revamped GP.

 

[Bluesnapper]

Between the 3 of you, answer me this.

How do we change the direction of the club, increase revenue so much that we can really compete. Its easy to say things, but back up your arguments, I believe we need a billionaire, you don't so be man enough and explain how this is done without serious investment

Get someone with ambition and a plan for success.

Success will solve all the problems.

Laughable - yesterday had nothing to do with Kenwright. Moyes screwed up. By all means have a go at the Board but not for the failure of our team to not get raped 3-0 at home to Wigan in a home quarter final.

Its not laughable that the worlds greatest Evertonian didnt/hasnt provided the resources for Mr Moyes to increase the quality and numbers of the squad on January 1st.

What so poor Davey Moyes needed more cash to spend to give himself a chance of beating the mighty Wigan?

So by that logic you don't think the squad Moyes had yesterday was good enough to beat Wigan? Even though the league says very different?

Its this type of thing that makes the whole anti-Kenwright brigade so difficult to buy into. Logic often goes out the window with you.

What would have helped was the ability to rest important players and to have options. Thought that was erm, logical.
If you 'don't get' the anti Kenwright sentiments, and the legion of reasons as to why it exists by now, you never will . It seems Bill could crap on your carpet and convince you it was a mars bar.

 

[By god I'm blue]

There was talk on he the other day that we only needed 40m to turn them into a top 4 side, on yesterday's performance that is laughable.

That said, there is zero chance of ever seeing 40m invested into the playing side whilst these complete clowns continue to direct the fortunes of Everton Football Club.

Everybody seems to be going down the path of it is the end of an era for many of the players and the manager. None of this matters one jot whilst we have public fraudster Bill Kenwright and his totally inept circus of no good arseholes running matters.

The next manager and players will have the same problem. Until he goes, we are screwed, without a plan, without any purpose and there only for the purpose only of Bill Kenwright keeping his profile as a premier league chairman.

Moyes is taking all the flak it seems, and he clearly has his faults and has upset a lot of Evertonians by not signing a new contract. but he has probably realised there is nothing else he can do with the club whilst he is continually not backed by his board and for his career, the best thing he can do is go somewhere where they want to win a bit of silverware and not just exist.

We are never going to win the league again unless we have Man City type investment, the best we can hope for is a cup. Who honestly gives a toss about finishing 6th or 7th? Is that an achievement? Not in this lifetime!

This was a chance of winning a cup, but the board decided again not to back the manager in the window and the squad has run out of steam and as a result now is also shot of confidence.

If you want to lay blame, look to the top, that's where it all starts.

Hopefully Moyes leaving will see the truth be revealed about the board by himself

The squad isnt good enough, we change Gibson for Neville and the whole thing falls apart.

Providing money for increasing the quality of the squad isnt down to Moyes its down to the greatest living Evertonian, Kenwight to do so.

Every team in the world loses games they should win, get over it.

What's apparent to me and should be to most is we've looked flat since Christmas and the failure to invest in the squad during January has cost us dearly.

Correct, but why should we accept the manner in the way its lost?

We have been flat since Christmas because we never signed any players to freshen the squad up in January (Kenwright and Moyes responsibility), and our manager doesn't believe our youth to be good enough. Look at Osman yesterday, he was running like he was wearing divers boots.
