The Everton Board Thread

[BNJ1878]

Like anything in life business or sport your only as good as your people. So I thought why not compare the CV of our CEO Denise and that of another Premier League ever present club? So I picked Farhad Moshiri and Alisher Usmanov’s first club Arsenal.

CEO of Arsenal - Vinai Venkatesham - CV
Roles held at Arsenal:
CEO
Managing Director
Chief commercial officer
Sales and marketing director
Director of global partnerships and business strategy
Head of global partnerships

Roles outside and before Arsenal:
European club association - board member
British Olympic association - Non executive director.
Arsenal foundation - trustee
Arsenal broadband limited - director
Dugout - non executive director
London 2017 - non executive director
London 2012 - commercial manager
Deloitte - strategy consultant
Mitsui - oil trader
L.E.K Consulting - associate

CEO of Everton Denise Barrett-Baxendale
Roles held at Everton
CEO
Deputy CEO
Chief operating officer
Everton in the community - executive chairman.

Roles held outside of and before Everton:
Sport England - board member 2016
Before 2010 16 years working in education - academic & leadership.

No doubt Denise is a talented person but the gulf in business experience is frightening. We can’t just expect to carry on like we have with ad hoc characters running the club promoted from within we need serious business minded people surely?

Bill Kenwright at our last AGM.

"Denise is the best in the business"

OK, mate.

So they did all this and didn't attend when they were the only ones at danger?

Need a source to believe this. Appreciate it though.

Ask the fans who went bud.

I remember this now.

Even the years after (Kirkby Bowl too) every AGM was full of smoke and mirrors, even cancelled at one point.

He bought Prenno in immediately after fan unrest last year. It was as clear as day he was getting his ducks lined up to protect himself.

Everton protests are not about money, they are about hope and connection | Jonathan Liew

Fans have vented their frustration with banners and asked the players to show passion, but what will their efforts achieve?

Surprisingly positive story about the fans so the PR crusade by the board isn't working fully

This line is absolutely golden:

"But on some level I wonder whether the jauntiness of the medium is a subconscious counterpoint to the opacity and obfuscation of the Everton board, with their woolly “Official Statements”, their anonymous briefings to favoured journalists, the intentionally imprecise messaging. You put out your press releases. We bring poetry."​

Prenno - the man who doesn’t communicate. Got himself a nice cushy job there. Everton fans shouldn’t forget his role once this is all over.

Some good stuff in there but I found it a little bit patronising in places.

He looks like he has actually spoken to some fans and done some proper research about the situation and why people are protesting.

Fair play to him. Because he is right, I’m getting crap given to me from fans of other clubs who want us to go down because apparently we think we are bigger than we are due to our history, but as the report says, those with the banners etc, don’t remember that history.

Ped was spot on mate, he saying what were all thinking, his rant is awesome and completely right. He may go off on one now and again but he sure as hell love our club more then the so called board

You his Dad?

 

[ProZ]

Ped is the only decent person on Toffee Tv the rest are boring. If he was not on there it would be dire.

 

[ToffeePaulie]
