The Everton Board Thread

Maupay and Gray?

I wouldn't object to that, tbh.

I'd like to see Simms getting his shot too though as he's much more of an obvious target man, but maybe experience is more important for tomorrow.

I think you're probably right, if they are the current choices whilst DCL is unfit, then rotate the 3 of them as the need arises

 

[Cameron Manning]

Exactly.

Put another player up front with him and get ourselves in the opposition box to give them both a chance.

I was reading that in the two games Dyche has been in charge we've gone long more than any team in the PL. Limited evidence, but that's what we have ro do, and putting two up seems like the obvious move to me. Now that we have the tough tests of Arsenal and Liverpool out the way for our midfeield then we'll see that tomorrow.

I think we see Maupay or Gray join Simms up front tomorrow.

With the long ball game played by Sean Dyche it would be foolish not to play two upfront no matter who the two are, that’s for Dyche to decide.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Yeah it does, which is why we have a big problem, nobody is going to want to work with him unless they are just as bad

I'm not sure myself. Anyone coming in is going to want a say in what goes on and it's within their own best interests to increase the value of their input into the club. Thus they bring in the expertise to do so and at the same time we learn how to function as a modern day sporting establishment instead of languishing 30 years behind everyone else.

Yep anyone that’s going to invest the speculated £100m for 25%, is going to invest skill/experience to represent them on the board. No way anyone invests that much without any executive say

Conflicted on the demand for board and owner to not attend.

I felt them not attending was actually an own goal for them.

 

[nsno-chris]

No, I am looking for this saying though:

"Get up off your 'kin knees".

Yeah, none of them have EVER contributed anything in their career.

It’s why they are now in a relegation battle; they’re nothing players. Putting faith in these, to do something they’ve never achieved on over 500 games of football, is a moon

only by a stroke of absolute luck will we survive; we have no spark like last year, just the same dossers up top

3 points and no distractions wanted from continued Bill Kenwright and Denise Barrett-Baxendale selfishness @GrandOldTeam

Its about the good of Everton Football Club

Which Bill Kenwright and Denise Barrett-Baxendale are not interested in. They only care about their personal interests

Yeah, the rest is fine but DEMANDING the owner and board stay away from Goodison I'm not sure about. I'd happily see the lot out the door asap but the club does belong to Moshiri and the other shareholders and I'm not sure what position fans groups are in to DEMAND they don't set foot on their own property.

I think their reasoning on calling for this is sound enough tho.
It's gotten to the point that the board taking their seats will actually distract from the game.
It's a fine balance between trying to get your side of the story across to the media/gen. public while also doing what you can to help your team avoid the drop.

I don't think anyone is saying they are not interested in the good the the club. The point is that they are not competent in achieving that. Any of them.

I think fans will always support the team.

Fans wouldn't allow the board to distract from that.

Last season the fan group pulled match day protests citing no distractions given relegation threat.

This season that's changed to "You can protest and still support the team"

Implying the boards presence would complicate support... I'm not so sure.

I think the board choosing to not go the game/that statement was the worst PR disaster they've had. Every game they choose not to attend they dig their hole even deeper. When will they return? They'd go away games, but claim Goodison wasn't safe - that really stuck in the throat of a lot of fans.

I just wonder if this now gives them an out. The board aren't there before fans demanded it - rather than the board aren't there because ____?

Does it also almost inadvertently endorse their decision to stay away previously?

As I say, I'm conflicted on it. Pros and cons.

100 million for 25% is chicken feed really. Stay up or regain our PL status in a year and the stadium gets finished and it's an easy doubling of their money. The same buy in for Spurs would cost 1 billion if the rumours are true. That's a lot more money to find/finance and to double that money would need something sizable to change the landscape of how much clubs are worth.

Excellent that.
I'm not involved but think this hits the right notes.
