The Everton Board Thread

Entirely in jest lads

Mine was too buddy.

For some reason I thought my playful tone came through a screen. Evidently it didn’t.

“This has been a great Board who have all worked tirelessly for the Club, no matter what the circumstances. My relationship with Denise has been known as one of the closest in football. I thank her for her many achievements, particularly her magnificent work in respect of our new stadium.”

Enjoyably bizarre phrasing. It's a relationship that has been known, by some, to be one of closest relationships in world football today.

the only parallel in terms of delusional nonsense speeches that I can think of after reading that is the one Cheese gives to the co-op in the last episode of "the wire"

hopefully the new American investors are led by Slim Charles

Before departing Pumpkin Head ... where's the Ancelotti salary Bill?

 

[COYBL25]

Has anyone checked on @4737carlin yet?

I genuinely can’t wait to see how he copes, once Bill has gone.

We may have to set up a support group for him.

Let’s have it right. Sharp was appointed for the wrong reasons. It’s like Tom Davies being offered a new contract. It was a wrong appointment in a typically Everton fashion. I have no doubt he will have some dough in the bank and he is thought of highly at Everton and still with the fans, but you can’t just put someone on a board for that reason. We might aswell of threw Rooney on the board.

To me, Sharp did nothing wrong in his appointment however it was the wrong appointment to begin with. He is still welcome at Goodison and the new stadium and for all his work with Everton something should be named after him at the new ground.

I would have had a greater level of sympathy if he had adequately fulfilled his role as a non-executive director. He was there to represent, support and challenge.

From what we do know, this hasn't been the case; if the reports are correct, he's toed the party line because financially it's been in his interest to do so.

He's always had a close relationship with Kenwright - he's been supported by the club for many a year. Each to their own, but that relationship has been his undoing.

When problems were afoot, can we honestly say that he had the best interest of the club at heart or was he so far down the rabbit hole he stuck with those he knew?

I'd have had far more respect for him if he'd either walked away or done the (admittedly) difficult thing to publicly come out and try to work with the fans...

... not even having to openly criticise the board. But he didn't: he doubled down. So, that's it. I'm far more aggrieved that the likes of Southall aren't welcome.

wasn’t one of our former youth team coach’s supposed to have had a closer relationship?

When does Prenno bite the dust, the absolute weapon.

Got any pics?

On second thoughts please don't.

 

[tom_b1807]

Great, but what are going to moan about now?

The new board of directors, obviously

 

[everton1953]

At last we have solid good news. A board clear out with just Bill to go next. Excellent.

They are a throuple.

Three Everton board members leave and Bill Kenwright expected to follow

Everton have announced significant boardroom changes in developments that signal the arrival of fresh investment

Disagree here. Sharp has always backed Kenwright against the fans. And has talked down about us when given the chance in the press.
"A man and his dog" calling fans violent and accusing them of chasing players and kicking their cars.
I hope he never shows his face at an Everton event again.

Yeah I get that part of it. However you don’t become a board member and then turn against the person who employed you. Doesn’t make sense. I get in the real world we all would have loved him to of said ‘bill is a nightmare and we all want him to leave.’ But that’s like us taking a new job and then saying something bad in public about your new boss. I get what you said but I do think he’s been given the sharp end of the stick here.
