The Everton Board Thread

[sd_1992]

It started before then. He stood by when Moshiri wanted Silva sacked when he himself did not.

He's a weak man and a chancer.

Again, the owner is in charge and can sack anyone he likes. All the reporting at the time was that brands was at finch farm backing silva. Certainly didn’t sit back and take it lightly.

I wonder if other clubs Fan advisory boards look at ours and ask "What would Jazz Bal do"

Moshiri needs to come out and say that the current board is being replaced. Our best hope for the future is a purposeful structure with competent people filling key roles, like Brighton, Brentford and Newcastle have done.

The only saving grace of relegation is that you can't blame the fans for that.

The media needs to be made aware of what has happened.

The bellends who run this club will 100% try to blame the fans and some well known WUMs and misanthropes will agree with them.

Never gonna happen whilst Moshiri is here. He’s clueless and takes advice from the wrong people

Take the money and run you mean?

You could see it like that, perhaps fairly to an extent. Or, you could see that he was promoting a manager that would fit the profile he had envisaged/sold.

That being a young, progressive manager who would fit the mould (play our way) who would have players who were young, could develop and sell on value.

Carlo is a great manager and person I was happy we appointed, but objectively you can't say he was the first, did the second or facilitated the latter.

We played a certain way he wanted and brought in expensive, older players who we could not move on for a profit, which is the exact opposite of the model.

Rafael was even further away from it, so if he's meant to be a DoF and fulfil his remit should he have gone, 'Yes, let's appoint Carlo and go against all our plans?'

Look how PSV, Brighton, Dortmund and so many others operate - that's what he'll have envisaged. Then, look where we are and the situation we're in.

We were in the bottom 5 and Artetas arsenal started really slowly. Its easy to say now "well I actually wanted Arteta" but he has previously briefed the athletic that he wanted Potter. Now Potter isn't flavour of the month he's saying it's Arteta so I wish he'd make his mind up.

His 'model' also just didn't exist. If you exclude Richarlison who we would all agree was a Silva signing we only had Digne and Kean - by some miracle - we broke even on and Nkounkou we will have made profit on from his signings. Branthwaite might one day but he hasn't been sold yet. Doucoure, Gomes, Gbamin, Delph, Mina, Bernard all on massive wages will have left for nothing from a combined 110 million transfers. That isn't how Brighton, Dortmund and Co. operate.

He was fine with Iwobi being signed from the powers that be, Ancelotti getting appointed and even didn't resign when Benitez was appointed. He then 'resigned' when people started rightfully pointing out he had signed a bunch of dossers on massive wages.

The board are still to blame because he was laughably appointed to it and so in effect had to review his own performance on whether he should be sacked or not.

Lets face it. Moshiri could appoint any Evertonian and he could do what kenwright does/did. Sit in the big chair. Get some of your mates in. Wait for the sky money. And thats it. The only times kenwright has ever acted was in his own self interest. To protect himself no matter how much damage it causes the club.

 

[windymiller]

Soon.

The day this fat tosser and his squirrelly little mate rolled up here was the joint darkest day in this clubs history (joint with the day that a certain thespy compulsive liar edged out everybody else).

Oh lovely stuff.

It’d be just like Everton to both lose the entirety of Usmanov’s investment AND leave the paper trail back to him intact for the authorities’ perusal.

One’s been doing it since last week

Mina was twenty-three when we signed him as was Gbamin. Arguably, they were still young players with potential on the pitch and sell on value.

Gomes was older at twenty-five, I'll give you that, but still at the time a good five or more years left at his prime would have been the mindset. Godrey too.

Doucouré was wanted by Ancelotti and Delph, well Delph was a faux pas. The thing I also find questionable is the 'fine' bit with certain signing - was he?

Would he have wanted Allan, Rodriguez et al.? No. Did he want Rafael? No. The point being that ultimately his wishes weren't listened to on many occasions.

He did what those above him asked rather than fulfil the model, which is the problem. You may wish he'd taken the moral stance of walking away...

... but would you walk away from a well paid job? Brands wasn't perfect, but the flak he gets is laughable. He's the fall guy for the board or their apologists.

I see Brighton are signing a player already for when the transfer window opens, a proper club doing it the right way.....

Completely alien to the criminals that run our club and the DoF wannabe Thelwell.
