The Everton Board Thread

[Steve EFC]

They can’t sue Everton they would have to sue the PL as it stands Everton are innocent until proven guilty

I get all that but the PL will want to make an example of us I feel, but despite this it’s something else hanging over us, that will affect all sorts of things such as our ability to attract players in the window.
It’s more uncertainty and more worry nevertheless.

Abramovic has only met Putin once.. sure I heard that somewhere

I met Abramovic once, in a pub in south boston.
Chelsea were playing Norwich and we were playing Blackburn. There was only about 15 people there at 10 in the morning.
He was nice enough, said hello to everyone.
Drank water and didnt buy a round.
Smiled a little when chelsea went behind to Norwich and we started singing "you bought the wrong team".
Went out and sat in his car with his security boys for half time!
That was a pretty surreal morning.

Why will they?

If they go in hard on us, It sets a precedent for them punishing Man City which they won’t want to do, especially considering City have a significant amount more charges over a much longer period of time.

It all plays in our favour that either nothing happens or we get a minimal fine.

Hope you’re right

I think in the real world we all would accept that there are fantastically wealthy people spending billions every year which are the proceeds of criminal activities.

A lot of Usmanovs money would seem to come from the legitimate business world, even though I am sure there is plenty that does not.

However, if Russia had not invaded Ukraine I don't think this would be as issue for discussion.

100%

Plenty of choice.

Going in to possibly the most important game in Everton’s recent history and I’m sick of seeing report after report of us being sued for 300 mill if we stay up.
Now whether or not it’ll happen it’s just one thing after another.
I absolutely despise these bunch of clowns for putting us fans through this crap. It’s bad enough buying crap players and making crap decisions and dicing with relegation but to threaten our very existence with grossly irresponsible decision making and negligence is unforgivable
I’m trying hard to care less but shouldn’t have to feel like this.

Better get used to it. That will be the media narrative for a few weeks if we stay up.

Hey @BeardedScotsman , any idea if any MSP representation will be attending tomorrow?

Mosh should just watch this and take notes because we operate in the complete opposite from this.

"Employ people who are better than you"

On promoting Davey Weir to succeed Dan Ashworth - the CEO and Ashworth talked about finding a successor and felt Weir was the best candidate as he'd been a professional footballer until he was 41 at the top level, has 2 degrees, been in management, and coaching badges.

Everton - Kopite Kev will do.

To be fair, we did offer the role to Weir and he turned us down.

 

[Bob Elstone]

Kev is utterly clueless

Can you blame him, he knows the Kenwright modus operandi.

Cos he's not daft

 

[Blue peter]

Cos he's not daft

It also remains to be seen whether he will be good at his job over a sustained period of time

True but based on that podcast and their current track record of replacing staff and players with success, I think he'll do fine
