The Everton Board Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
Apparently Stubbs was on the radio last night saying Kenwright has stopped giving him tickets as he's been critical of the board.
He said it on five live this morning. He sticks the boot in to Kenwright, saying ‘he tries to keep you quiet by not allowing you to the games’. Then goes on to say he doesn’t give him tickets because he’s critical. Can listen to it here from 2:16:30. He is though clearly a bit unaware of the financial situation when he says we need 5-6 new players this window which is wishful thinking! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001ggcn?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile
 
This owner and his board of lackeys will take us down and no shiny new ground will make any difference as we languish in the lower divisions. The club as a whole has taken its eye off the ball with the ground move .

Unfortunately mate this is hyperbole and part of our pessimistic psyche that does us no favours. All the smaller clubs that have been relegated and then promoted back to the PL yet we are convinced we would freefall? We will have a massive income compared to all the championship clubs and hopefully a clean slate to work with. It might take a couple of years to rebuild and we will have to be patient though. We really have to shift this mentality that relegation means death for us. It is this that helps drive bad short term decisions.

The board have also not taken their eye off of the footballing side to concentrate on the stadium, we wouldn't have had 3 different managers and soon to be 7 managers (8 if you count the caretaker), all backed with as much money as the club can spend within the PL's regulations. They have tried to scratch and claw their way out but every combination hasn't worked. This is partly because all the decent players either won't come to us or want silly money to do so, which then means we ate stuck with them when they decide they are going to put their feet up. Clearly they've made some bad decisions but at the same time they made some reasonable ones too.

Evertonians have a problem spending half a billion to go backwards but if money was the easy answer then utd and Chelsea would be first and second in the league right now having spent way more and from a better starting point where the club has pull and a better base line of talent. It really doesn't matter who we bring in as it's always he's not experienced enough, he's too old, we paid way too much for him, why are we scratching around looking for cheap buys, they've come from relegated clubs so of course they are crap, we can't have big club cast offs...
 
100% he will resign from his from his chair position, due to ill health, the minute we look as good as down
I doubt it. The man is as delusional as he is stupid. He'll never leave unless he's forced out either by the fans/owner or by his own health. Until then he'll continue to live in his little fantasy world as mister chairman. Even If we got relegated he'd just plan to oversee promotion purely so he could take all the credit for it. When/if Moshiri goes we'll see loads of stories "leaked out" to the press slaughtering him and implying that Kenwright did his best to curb the worst of the problems but was ultimately powerless to stop them. Kenwright is poison. Utter poison.

he’s a bad bad bad bad fraud who’s blagged he’s good coz he’s a blue

koff BK just go
 

Me too. Do we actually take the hit to potentially get rid of these people now, instead another 3/5/8 yrs of the same rubbish.
Yes financially it won’t be great, but then get rid of every player who’s on high wages and the ones who we can make money on. And then rebuild slowly.

I still think the ground would finish,
They’re so far down the line now to stop

in the champ tho in a half empty ground
 
Fan pressure will not change the board, turkeys do not vote for Christmas!

Change Frank, probably, what will have changed except another big pay off we cannot afford for him and his training team. Pay compensation for another new manager and their staff, nothing will change. Plus another new manager with long term unwanted disinterested players. I'm seriously considering stopping, this is bad for my health.

The board will not change.
 
Stubbs on national radio calling out Kenwright, a chairman who's ego won't allow anybody in his circle unless they kiss his ring.

I cannot wait until he's gone.

Either removed or in a box, I don't care. It's a cup final celebration.


Wow. Damning for uncle Bill but absolutely believable because the man is a self serving, shameless charlatan. shame it’s not on talkshite as well.

You dismiss my concerns about relegation as exaggeration and seem to assume that by going down we start with a clean slate .
What happens to the players currently here on massive wages and long contracts do they just up and Leave?
If we go down our tv income drops to 55% in year one , 45% in year two and finally down to 20% in year three .
Added to the cost of building a new ground I don't see us having much budget to get promotion .
You are happy to gamble the whole future of the club on the assumption that we can bounce back within 3 years?
