Sharp like Kenwright always did what was best for himself not Everton FC, talking about when he finished as a player and became one of Chairman Bill’s puppets.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
"Careful what you wish for" and "Moshiri is the problem"
Head of PR during the worst ever PR spell for the club.
You have to question that. There’s always been something about him I can’t take to but that could just be me.

I always say that there are two types of football executive role a former great player can assume:
1. The Bobby Charlton role - a largely benign figurehead who personifies and safeguards the soul and glory of the club and acts as an ambassador by exercising soft power. See also Eusebio and Uwe Seeler.
2. The Karl-Heinz Rummenigge role - a political operator who draws on personal magnetism and prestige to influence and manipulate the power structures of football. See also Michel Platini.
The problem for most former players is they were never great enough as players to assume these roles - and if they were they are not smart enough to pick the right one or skilled enough to do it well (See Platini, again).
The best practitioners of this art never really put themselves directly in the firing line. Charlton, for example, was only ever a director holding moral authority rather than hard power. Rummenigge preferred to remain the power behind the throne at Bayern, build on international ties, and hold chairmanship of the European Club Association to keep pressure on UEFA. In that sense, they could always keep a safe distance from inevitable fallout.
Sharp was just a placeman with nothing to offer. He didn't have the moral authority that a Charlton had (our nearest equivalent would be somebody like Colin Harvey or Joe Royle), nor was he politically astute like Rummenigge. That was proven by his failure to resign at headlockgate. Had he done that, he would have immediately assumed the moral authority to become a politically relevant presence. He picked the wrong side and is now redundant. His personal reputation is in tatters and he will now have no "after-life" as a club functionary.
Please no more jobs for the boys.

Am not against adding ex players to a larger board as long as there is merit in it.

I listened as well for a few minutes took Simon Jordon all of two minutes to solely blame Moshiri for the mess we are in (just as I predicted) not Bill's fault at all, I didn't expect anything else from him at all, don't worry about the previous 15 years before Moshiri turned up where we weren't being run right.
I wonder if the new board will include Thelwell/any-future-DOF.
But why?
I wouldn't get on Tesco's board because I shop there.
I think Moshiri has badly misjudged being an Everton fan as being a prerequisite. I mean, this was January;

^ It's absolute nonsense.
Rules of the club to have a boardroom of people with roots in Liverpool?
It was the same of Benitez, "he knew the city"

If maldini gets sacked from milan for his role then its hard to make a case for former players
One board member ought to represent Evertonians and what we want from the club. But just one.But why?

There ought to be plenty more with expertise in specific fields as the first and only qualification.
Maybe, though I'd be inclined to say that if they work correctly, then the fans are represented through FAB/Fans Forum etc.
I wouldn't be against a Cahill coming onto the board,known world wide,connections throughout the game,business connections in the Mid East where his school are based not long retired in comparison to someone like Sharp...don't get me wrong am struggling to think of anyone else after that.But why?
