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

[Dell Boy]

love how southall has the bollocks to call ken****e out not like that sly ****er sharp disgusts me that fella

There's just no need to talk like that about a genuine legend like Sharp. Have some class man eh?

I think Kenwright handled the whole Moyes saga terribly. I think he was terrible in the press conference and I'm gong to the AGM to see with my own eyes how the five year absence of AGMs can be explained.

You've every right to oppose Kenwright and his gang but I just think the opposition to him would have so much more credibility of it was done without all the crass talk and snidely insults.

Good news, I say. I hope some people don't slate the board for doing what folk have requested.

They're not though are they. Doing what folk have requested I mean.

Go and have a look at the original requisition as signed by about a third of all the independent shareholders. I'll wait.

Now come back and read the 3rd item in "BUSINESS OF THE MEETING". Notice anything different?

The board had to do it though by law, EGM.

Hopefully they will reinstate the AGM's for future years

 

[BoysInBlue]

The club were legally forced into this EGM, kicking and screaming against their will.

For years, they banked on the little church mice that are the EFCSA willfully backing them. When even the church mice find a voice, that says it all.

Anyone who genuinely cares about the club should be interested in this. The 'get behind the club' brigade will support the club in whatever division it is in, till the end of time, and not saying a single negative word. To me, that isn't support, that's just a mindless cult.

Being a true supporter is being interested in the welfare and well-being of the club, now and in the future, and if mistakes/errors are quite obviously being made, to stand up, point these out, ask for answers, and demand that the current custodians of the club run the club in a manner befitting our rich glorious history.

Ya MAR?

 

[Duckling]

I don't appreciate the tone of this reply.

My apologies. I honestly don't think it's abusive or anything, so if you took offense rest assured none was meant.

The point stands though. They were presented with an itemised agenda which the law says they can't deviate from. And yet they have. I wonder why?

 

[Duckling]

Ya MAR?

I don't understand. Could you please speak English?

I understand your point, the facetious nature was what I took exception to.

I was just wondering what your feelings are concerning company articles in general within the UK business sector?

 

[Duckling]

I was just wondering what your feelings are concerning company articles in general within the UK business sector?

Then you have an unusual, one might even venture cryptic, style of expression.

In answer to your question, I'm afraid I'm not an expert on the subject and as such have very few feelings in any direction. I would add though that my concern is that the Board of the Everton Football Club Company Limited have in fact breached the terms of the Companies Act 2006. The Articles of Association of said enterprise are neither here nor there in the matter.

 

[LITLEJOE]

kenwright and the board are not the club, never have been and never will be.

wish people would get this into there heads tbh.
