The Everton Board Thread

[RomanReigns]

Will the board be there on Sunday to show their unanimous support to the manager and the players?

When bill kenwright turns up on Sunday

 

[Billy Dean]

We were ran like that under Kenwright/Moyes and fans still protested at the board, flew planes demanding the owner sell up etc.

We have to accept the Goodison faithful dont see Everton in the same light as Brighton/Brentford fans see their clubs. One is a sleeping giant the other two just happy for the PL ride.

Any owner that comes into this club and doesnt spend the dough will be setting themselves up for failure especially when the FFP situation is resolved and fans have dined on steak during the early Moshiri years of large investment and BMD.

Brentford fans will lap up 8th-10th every season and not kick up a fuss if they cant go any further - our fans wont accept that.

Lol

Your last paragraph tells the whole story. These are money guys. This isn’t Ryan and Rob doing well by a community. This is to make Everton a cash cow. This deal doesn’t happen without the Stadium approval. I understand the frustrations here with Moshiri, but there is limited investment without the commercial opportunities presented by the new stadium.

These guys don’t want to own the club in 10 years. That is not their intention.

That being said, there’s a lot of similarities between where Everton find itself and McLaren. And McLaren F1 prints money for these guys.

Just hope everyone here is clear with what this is.

That's fine though, if they get Everton into a position where they make money out of us, means they're doing something right and there has to have been some kind of success to generate the money.

Moshiri Out
Kenwright Out
Sack the board

No minority investment. No minor reshuffles. We need leadership and new ownership and a total fresh start.

I, for one, welcome our newer US Asset Stripping Moshiri preferred Warlords

More than anything we need owners who get the right competent people in charge.

Just throwing money at it won't help, as we've seen it just leads to trouble with ffp if you do not have that.

We need to grow our revenue and stop losing so much money every year... better sponsorship deals, reducing the massive wages and signing the right profile of players to sell on for profit.

The new stadium can be a game changer by bringing in a lot more money and attracting talented players, but we have to be a well run club to benefit from it.

You will all turn on MSP in the end.

It is what it is.

It might not be pretty, but it is definitely needed. We can’t be an elite level club being run with sentimentality.

If they come in, maximise the revenue streams, line their pockets with a big sale, it means they’ve achieved what they wanted, but in turn make us profitable. There aren’t many scenario’s where they could asset strip, make us worse, and still make a profit.

If we’re run to profit, and can be sold on to a lucrative state etc in a few years, they could easily become recognisable for future projects, which they won’t knock.

I think anyone expecting a strewth of big signings may be shocked. I wouldn’t be totally shocked to see a ship similar to Ashley, and we know how that worked out!

That we do but that alone is not enough.

Mike Ashley for example fits the bill of what most on ere want in an owner:

Competent
Business experienced
Made Newcastle highly profitable

Yet would you want Mike Ashley owning Everton ?

Do you think Mike Ashley would have escaped protests aimed at him by our fans over a lack of investment/ambition ?

Fans look at things in a very black and white manner - its either stingy economic geniuses MSP or free spending loons Moshiri/Boehly.

Ultimately we need somewhere in the middle otherwise the natives will get restless with either end of the scale.

Want to see resignations next week no matter what happens on Sunday starting with good times Bill.

I see what you're saying, but for me having Steve Bruce in charge for so long and having the club relegated twice whilst in charge shows he was not competent in running a football club.

If these guys don't try improving the squad and investing some money then they won't achieve their supposed aim of turning a profit on the investment.

Increasing the revenue and clever player trading will lead to more investment in the team and within ffp rules.

In the end? Give it 2 months and the pitchforks and torches will be out.

I appreciate that the game, is the medium term profitability of the club (say 5 years) - this profitability can come through making a profit through increased revenues as a ratio of cost and/or through a future sale of the club. They increase the value of their asset come through yearly profitability and the balance sheet….they just can’t make the mistake of thinking they can cut costs to drive that profitability - in my experience there are investors who sensibly target increased financial resources to yield a rate of return, and then investors who try to run costs to a bare minimum - if they do the latter, we will be at even more risk of relegation. Interesting to note however that if our purchase does go through to this group, that is 13 of the PL teams in American hands….a couple more and arguably the clubs could look for a vote on no relegation.
