The Everton Board Thread

O

Only if by "former self" you mean the club as it stood around 1987. Because sadly, to my eyes, this season looks not too different to many of the intervening 35.

Bill Kenwright has overseen a superbly effective job of managed decline to the extent that being hammered twice in four days by a microclub with a caretaker manager is not considered grounds for dismissal.

We have no standards now because the self-aggrandising charlatan Kenwright has relentlessly lowered them. The well-meaning buffoon Moshiri, realising he is basically clueless, has instead accepted the appointment of a PR face to keep the heat off. That face, palpably out of his depth, is now being championed out of a sense of misguided loyalty and a yearning desire for stability by sections of a fanbase that then incredulously wonder why standards have fallen. But as Glenn Frey told us, "the heat is on" now. And soon, Moshiri will start to get burned. Fortunately for him, the World Cup offers journeymen managers a chance to shine temporarily, put themselves in the shop window, and audition for a job that offers a way back into club football. He might very well choose to take advantage of an eagerness that wasn't there when cushy international jobs provided a degree of stability and certainly when the previous vacancy arose.

The problem is: he constantly backs the wrong horse. The fans are still in denial about the current horse - about to be sent to the glue factory. But the owner is probably already lining up his own ludicrous collection of solutions as we speak. The Championship becomes every more likely with each passing day - whether we keep Boxer from the glue factory or not.

You're right. This slide started absolutely years ago.

We were 'Big 5', indeed, one of the main agitators behind the Premier League.

What did we do once that started up and other clubs saw the future opportunities?

Nothing. Carried on as though it was the 1950s, brandy in the boardroom and self congratulatory slaps in the back all around.

"What would Everton do?"

Nothing, they'll just tread water until fatigue takes over and they slowly slip beneath the surface.

It is one of the most Everton things ever that we have an owner willing to spend money like a teenage lottery winner, but he didn't have the foresight to replace the board with professionals on day 1.

Evertonians, in general, fear change. They loathe it. Hence, they happy-clap the venal charlatan Kenwright on the Jumbotron despite the towering evidence that he has single-handedly driven the club from the elite - its birthright status - into a state of constant chaos. The same tendency is seen in the misguided and flailing defence of failing managers who don't offend the Evertonians sense of self. Lampard, a positive face for the club, is indulged with declarations of fealty and sworn loyalty...despite humiliating and often indefensible defeats at places such as Bournemouth, run by a caretaker with a fraction of Frank's budget. So, we stick with a nefarious, self-aggrandising but politically astute survivor chairman and a manager who only ever knew success as a player. But at least it provides the deluded sense we can stop change in its tracks...while our status changes for the worst every single day.

All due respect F the players, if they let the crowd wanting the board out affect their game then it shows they don’t have the mentality to fight for this club

Yeah F the players, getting the board out is more important then getting points, let's get the board out so Moshiri can get his people in and wash a bit more money

Because right now we are deep in relegation troubles. We have to throw our full support behind the players, if we don't, we go down.
Leicester it was lame, we're currently notably worse then we were at the same stage last season, but this season we can't afford to wait until the last month, we havent got the cushion of worse teams.
If every game the fans arnt behind the side like our future depends on it we will drop.

It works two ways. Yes we need to support but its not unconditional. If they perform as badly as they did yesterday then they deserve nothing from the fans.

exactly what was said about the 27years and the arsenal match, and everything that’s wrong with the fanbase.

If the shithouses we have playing for us down tools and are affected by any protests and can’t take it, then they just confirm everything we already know about them.
