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

[Chang Elephant]

Maybe if you'd have thought about that comment without your one eyed slant, you'd have understood that I meant 'more sense' than to invest in a football club lad.

OK lad, though you did say more sense in specific relation to Everton ?

Yeah Everton included.

He'll invest his cash into projects that actually produce an annual ROI.

His input into EFC will be advisory only

OK mate, on that note we'll leave the subject of why he doesn't consider Everton suitable for a small investment alone.

Because it's a football club, with an antiquated stadium, that makes no money and needs a massive capital injection if it's got any chance of competing on an equal footing with it's historic peers in the medium / long term.

That just about covers it lad

 

[deipnosophist]

Surely a new stadium would attract people though? Snazzy new stadium, no wooden seats, no big pillars in the way

Those obstructed views are part of Goodison's charm lol

They are....right until the moment you're sat behind one

 

[deipnosophist]

yeah, you sit behind one and go 'effing charming!" lol

OK lad, we'll leave it at that and won't question why Everton is currently a club "with an antiquated stadium, that makes no money and needs a massive capital injection if it's got any chance of competing on an equal footing with it's historic peers in the medium / long term".

I'm sure Tel knows why.

Why does everyone become so volatile in this particular thread?

It,s been like this for years and on other forums elsewhere.

The GOT team will be made up when the owners change as this thread will go straight out.

You make me laugh lad, as you're so intent on laying the blame for every issue that the club faces at the door of Kenwright, that you're seemingly incapable of any form of reasonable discussion.

We'll defo leave it at that.

He's got a few million to buy shares with and Bill spent a lot less than that buying up a few in the last couple of years. As stated he's not likely to risk a penny knowing Bill as he does.

Sir Terry Leahy is unlikely ever to be a major investor in Everton or any other football club.

His interests these days are SME's and startups - for example he has recently invested in Starcount, a company that tracks celebrities and other high profile individuals on social media and their interaction with the wider public. The two founders of the Tesco Clubcard are also investors in the same company.

In recent months he has also invested in stuckonhomework.com, Eagle Eye Solutions and an e-commerce site, Atterley Road.

 

[toffee matt]

Kenwrights too busy presenting his new late night radio show ''kenwrights golden oldies '', than look for investment for the club.

OK lad, we'll definitely leave it at that then. As a smart arse, I'm glad to have made you laugh with my one eyed slant, and although incapable of reasonable discussion I've nevertheless enjoyed our amicable conversation today. Just can't see where Groucho's coming from about volatility though lad ?

All of it true lad. Amazing that the BU never reached critical mass with charismatic flag bearers like you leading the charge mate.
