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

[Allezfan]

Did I say that? Where?

7 new players added to the squad says he did back his new manager.

Three hours ago, ffs.

 

[roydo]

My answer to that was if he would still be here then it's a hell of a coincidence the way we wanted him all summer but didn't get him until the felli deal went through.

Agree mate. And he was desperate to come as well so it wasnt like we were in some stupid bidding war or anything. Says a lot doesnt it?

 

[Woolly Blue]

he should be donating it anyway, as its already been proved

to force me to go 'the extra mile' is insulting my professional integrity

I'm sure no-one doubts you made the bet.

Personally, I only doubt that you put a hundred notes on it. After all, this is the Internet and a little exegaration is par for the course, so I wouldn't hold it against you if you were to come clean and tell us you only put a fiver on it, or .... you could just screenie the bet. A small act which will take a few seconds of your life but allow you to leave the subject with your heads held high.

haha!


Well, I stand by what I said:

- by improving our squad over the summer the Chairman effectively 'backed' us. He has to sign everything after all.
- we're all dying to know if we've got some spend in January, and after the summer window, to get a more definitive answer as to whether Kenwright is backing Martinez.


Really, all else is just hot air to fill these pages with extra fluff.

 

[dholliday]

I absolutely will not

you do have to show the bet. It's only right.

I think we lost about 8 million quid last year. Chances are some of the difference has gone to fill that hole.
I'd guess there's about 5 million in the pot plus whatever cash we can free up by moving on our Dutch and Croatian friends.

When the sums are done on incomings, turnover, whatever, the pattern hasn't changed.

No investment has been made, player trading is just that, trim a bit each time as a financial sacrifice, which, given the influx of new TV money shows how poorly the financial management of the club has, and still is, been handled, the responsibility for that lies with the greatest Evertonian ever.

There is a very big difference in investing/backing the manager and balancing the books. 24/7....... ad infinitum

Oh I totally agree.

Its quite laughable to suggest that the "Chairman would back the Manager", with what? Not a single penny has been spent by anybody on the Board of Everton.

 

[roydo]

has she woken up now?

Hope not.

 

[dholliday]

Hope not.

There has literally been no money spent on the first team that hasn't been raised by either money earned by tickets sold, tv money etc or by selling players. During the whole 14 years of the current board.

Like juan said, backing is money put into the club, not just balancing the books.

Give Kenwright his due, he's not taking money out of the club, everything earned by the team is put into the team but that's not his money.
