The Everton Board Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
The worst thing to happen during the Kenwright era at Everton, is that some fans stopped expecting and stopped demanding that this club gets restored back to it's former glories.

The Kenwright era has caused some Everton fans to be content, with seeing what once was a giant of the game, being reduced to being an also ran, that's just happy enough with making up the numbers every year.

A culture of sub standard mediocrity, with mere survival in the top flight being the only expectation being the order of the day.

If anyone dares speak out against this you are shouted down for being an entitled troublemaker, you'll also have one of Bills cheerleading club ambassadors offering you a scrap or a patronizing and condescending lecture, telling you why Bill Kenwright is the greatest and bestest thing to ever happen to this club.

The lies, the bs, the false promises, the 30 plus years (1995 being the only exception) worth of mediocrity, all of this is Bill Kenwrights legacy to Everton.

An article on the BBC website, covering the main highlights of the last 30 years of the Premier League really rammed it home. Everton didn't get a single mention.

This club has pretty much spent (with the exception of that fourth place finish under David Moyes, and some depressing relegation scraps) the entire Premier League era doing nothing of any relevance whatsoever, so that kind of thing is to be expected i suppose.

At least Moshiri for all of his substantial faults, has actually invested money into the club, despite getting an appallingly bad return from that said investment.

Quite right @Cork Evertonian, although it appears Moshiri has seen his mistakes and is finally letting Lampard and Thelwell do the recruiting.

What he has failed to redress, at this time, is to volley that bullshitting buffoon of a Chair and his fellow Board member fan club. Let's be honest, the other members of the Board are little more than Bill's 'human shield'.

Last point, although we identify 1995 as being our only bright spot, the 93/94 season almost had us relegated. This dragged on until the November of that year until the arrival of Big Joe. To me, '95 started very badly and kept us in a relegation dogfight for almost the remainder of the 94/95 season. The clouds lifted when were safe, with the Cup win being the icing on the cake. Consequently, we (me included) often overlook the almost disaster of that short era and is given a free pass.
Not wishing to be to dwell too much over this period, but many respected pundits tipped Everton as 'dark horses' to win the Premier league 95/96. PJ was in charge, but BK was influential, or instrumental. The rest, as they say, is geography.

ps does anybody else recall Bill's words after The Great Escape, regarding Mike Walker? "We have the best manager in the world"! Fast forward to his cringeworthy appraisal on El Loco, " What a manager". Twenty years on and he had still learned sod all. Tells you all you need to know.

Im not the boards biggest fan but kudos a job well done this summer

Defence- sorted

Midfield - sorted

Attack - soon to be sorted once Che Che signs

Add to that if we can rinse Chelsea for £45-50 millions for Gordon I might just be willing to forgive and forget recent seasons.

Biggest load of drivel I’ve ever read. You should get a ban for this blatant deliberate WUM attempt.

Confirms he is a wum when he is shouting for a potential strike pairing of Adams and Rondon considering DCL isn't available.

Honestly the most unbearable poster there has ever been on here. It’s all to pile pressure on Lampard too by the way, so he can say “look the board did their job and he’s still not getting results” when the reality is that our midfield is still utter toilet and has no creativity or defensive steel, we have poor wingers that don’t score or assist and we currently have no centre forwards and are praying we bring in a 1 in 4 striker like Che Adams or Maupay to have any hope of scoring a goal every few games. But yes, kudos on a job well done.

The defence is stronger with Tarky and Coady

The midfield is stronger with Onana and soon to be Gana

The attack is currently weaker but will be stronger by the windows end

But you and the usual bedwetters are never happy I don't know why you bother supporting us anymore tbh.

Agree on this, he has gone back to the model that worked well for Kenwright and Moyes, look at the possibility of buying this guy from Blackburn, thats exactly the type of deal we did back then, lower league player ready to step up, this window is a clear sign Moshiri has stepped back

by the end of the window, we will have potentially lost five matches - including four league games against Forest, Brentford, Leeds and Villa - all winnable. If we lose all those matches because the board didn't get a striker, not only does that do a lot to damage confidence of the players already in the squad, but it also gives those other clubs we'd be fighting with in the table a big advantage.

…even he’s got to be embarrassed he appointed Benitez. It came close to ruining his investment, perhaps he is leaving things to others but I‘m not totally convinced just yet.
