The Everton Board Thread

[Eggs]

Ryazantsev was the Chief Commercial officer for years - and he was appointed by Moshiri.

As for recruitment: that's down to the DoF - all of whome have been hired by the owner.

All roads lead to Moshiri. The board are puppets and have been since 2016.

…I think more accurately, your post should say;

….’as for recruitment, that SHOULD be down to the DoF’.

At least if transfers were down to the DoF we could have accountability, but at Everton it appears players have been recruited by DoF, Managers, Owner & even Chairman. An absolute shambles.

It amounts to the same thing: if we say that recruitment of managers and players has been our downfall then that is down principally to the owner.

The focus on the board for our fundamental problem is illogical to me. They are just useless rather than being the instigators of where we are right now. That's because it's been instability on the managerial front that's killed us. And who's made that decision 6 times? Not Kenwrtight that's for sure.

…yep. Dreadful key appointments from Moshiri supported by flawed business processes. It’s bound to ultimately manifest itself on pitch.

...which is why the damaging in-fighting that concentrates on the board is senseless to me.

Do they need to go? Yes, of course. Is it crucial to our survival campaign that they do so now? No, it isn't.

Who appointed the current board members Dave? As you say Ryanstsev was CCO but hat was in the Usmanov days. I think you would be surprised just how big a part Kenwright and Baxendale playing the running of the club, they have recruited Ingles and Sharpe to agree with them and make up the numbers.

Moshiri is going nowhere untill the new stadium is built, that is of course provided we don't go down and fail to finish the stadium. He will want as much of his money back as he can get and as he owns the club he can hardly be forced out untill he has a buyer.

The board however, are a different matter, they are sucking the lifeblood out of this club, we have to make their positions untenable. We can and must get them out.

You've done it. The war is won. The Everton board - such as it was - is obliterated in the eyes of the football world in this country and they cant go to attend matches. There isn't a chance in heaven that board make a comeback at this club. If some people at the top of the protest groups want to continue to create an air of crisis, that's not in the best interests of this club.

Just what the point is of focussing on Headlockgate at the expense of Relegationgate I dont know.

They're dead men and women walking and I think they've arrange to have the whole place ringed with security for the Arsenal game.
To do less would admit the the threats were all rubbish.

Ridicule will do for them easier than mass protest.

Everybody stands - Altogether now...

"Stand up if you love the board,"
"Stand up if you love the board,"
"Stand up if you love the board," etc, etc, etc.

Hes probably said quite a lot without saying very much there

I think he spoke really well. I mean, he's been largely disastrous and will likely take us down, but I don't dislike the man and can see that he has been somewhat a victim of circumstances as well as his own profound shortcomings.

Agreed. But we must also acknowledge the reality that if they do not go now they won't be going when we somehow stay up either. The pitch invasion after the Palace game last season was as rapturous as any cup celebration I have seen in my lifetime supporting Everton. That said it all. The fans were celebrating...abject mediocrity, near failure, and basic survival. Then, they moved on to nurture their delusions rather than calling for change. Put simply, many of the activists know absolutely nothing will change and the hierarchy will wriggle off the hook if they are given any chance to do so by realists and pragmatists understandably prioritising the short-term.

The days of trying to unite the entirety of the fanbase behind the club to win survival are over. Those who want change invariably get drowned out by the joyous pitch invasions by the short of memory.

As I've explained, they did that because they knew that the board weren't making calamitous decisions and the person who was making those decisions needed to be kept in place to deliver the new stadium.

The inconvenient truth here is that we DONT need to change the board right now because they are not an impediment to our survival chances. We need to get rid of the owner, but not now. That wont take place before May, so we better recalibrate the protests because presently the course being steered endgangers us.

I find myself in a pretty conservatibve position here amongst all the pithcforking demands. But I just see thngs in terms of what's doable and what's smart to do given the relegation threat we face. The board and the owner need sweeping into the Mersey, but we have to be calculated about when that happens. It's ceratinly not a case of striking while the iron's hot.

As said, I dont see the urgency to turfing them out. It definitely shouldn't be at the expense of keeping a united front against relegation.

I have nothing but contempt for the board and we need that body professionalised under any new ownership regime. But I dont see them as being the fundamental cause of why we're in two successive relegation battles.

Of course. However, there has to be discipline now. There's no point in killing the host just to get shut of the parasite. And that's what focussing on pitchforking will do in this most dangerous of seasons.

The parasite has weathered multiple storms for well over a decade, with a whole litany of lies, scheming, failures and debacles to his credit. Don't underestimate his resilience and ability to rouse the happy clappers..... especially if we miraculously survive.

Amazingly, there has been no "pitchforking" before or during the games. The protests have been remarkably restrained. A few kids chasing a couple of cars is nothing compared to the stench that these characters have created.... not to mention the years of managed decline preceding it that have weakened this proud institution, to the point of making us mere make-weights.

Support the team with everything we've got.... but we must never lose focus and strike while the iron is hot.
