The Everton Board Thread

[deipnosophist]

EFC at players, executive and Board level is a dysfunctional mess. I just shake my head at the enormity of the restructuring that is required. In the interim, my only 'contact' with anything Everton, is via GOT.

Absolutely thought Marcel saying "is it only the players" was his way of hinting that he isn't behind Benitez and possibly other decisions at the club. Definitely indicates there is infighting behind the scenes.
Something needs to come out of this emergency board meeting or it's only going to further stoke the fans' anger.

Matt Jones on the blue room made a great point that him saying that as only opened another can of worms that tbh most of us most likely already knew in reality.

The worry for me is would the club and those high up would they have had a meeting about that spat if not that’s worrying in itself.

At present all I can see is us like QPR or even worse Sunderland.

If its between brands or benitez then surely absolutely everyone is going to be team benitez.

Now known as TB.

I've got a hunch this board meeting is about sorting out whether we're moving forward with Brands or moving forward with Benitez.

There is a third option - moving forward with neither, but that's highly unlikely.

Who else thinks the twitter video and the rumblings of a Brands/Benitez split was the curtain being pulled back just a bit?

I think you may well be right.

Pretty sure arl arse Billy is a Brands man. And DBB is a BK stooge, which is why they were all sitting together the other night.

Moshiri is the decision maker in the end.

It seem Kenwright shat the bed the other night that fans were targeting the board so he has called a meeting. Brands is backing Bill because he's on the chopping block.

There's news in Turkey (I know, not reliable) that Rafael has the full backing of Moshiri, but Bill the man of the people needs to react to recent form and it is very much a divide between Bill and Moshiri.

Rafael won't be sacked before Monday. So my guess is Brands could be gone.

Haven't read many of the rumors, but it seems to me there is a divide in the board. The battle lines are team Brands or team Benitez. I suspect you are right about who is backing who, but I don't know what the outcome is.
There does have to be some action though or the anger is going to double. To be seen calling an emergency board meeting and then no change come from it will be disastrous for the board.

you got that bit right

If anything it will be Benitez who goes - why?

Because the real issue is league form. It’s relegation and the potential costs of that . Sacking Brands is unlikely to have any effect on league position while sacking Benitez may well do.

Why does Kenwright support and not blame Brands? Good question. Could it be what some have suspected to be the case - Brands isn’t being allowed to do his job by an ego maniac owner and Kenwright recognises this?

Emergency board meeting ?

It'll be whatever the Mosh wants

Emergency board meeting ?

How can you have an emergency board meeting, without the owner ? Who happens to own 93% of the club. Very strange if this has happened.

Another perspective might be that Brands failed in the summer to get deals across the line. Didn't sell anyone on for profit and ultimately our failings with FFP are largely down to him.

Who was he going to sell, for how much and to whom ?

quite a few 'Team Vitor'-ites still inhabit GOT, harbouring optimism that maybe, maybe the black arm banded Vitor Pereira will be the man to lead us to renewed glory.

You should know how to do it by now Matty.
