you could well be right
but optics aside, there's a chance that a firm stance like this might help tip the whole thing over the edge and force Moshiri to act.

Yes in the overall scheme of investments into PL football it is a minimal investment with a huge upside, the point I was trying to make i guess was that it’s still £100m of someone’s money and they would want representation at board level. The current board probably own around 1.5% of shares if DBB has some.
I think you need to do some homework on the 777 group. Can I suggest you look at The City Group first and who built there worldwide portfolio and then take an interest in who now leads on the 777 group football operation. Hertha have only just come on board, as have most of the other clubs. Look at the profile of how they have invested over the last 18 months. Then ask why they now might want a flagship team in the Prem?
Build a portfolio of teams where you can place development players who can either be sold for profit or brought into the fold at the bigger teams.

Someone always keeps a check on the money but even if Everton lost half of its perceived value they would still get 50 million back, if they wanted to pull the plug and run that is. It's a pretty safe bet really, natural inflation should take care of it if they are prepared to wait.

Yes but it’s not the way an investor thinks. They have to measure the downside sure, but their focus is return on investment, they nurture that investment through looking after it at board level, and ensuring the general direction of strategic travel is where they see it going, but yes worst case scenario, they likely get all or most of their money back. Their ‘loss’ as it were, would be the opportunity cost of other investments they could have made whilst that part of their portfolio is tied into Everton.

All this just highlights the boards decision making as terrible. They have painted themselves into a corner and its all their own doing. They then doubled down by saying arsenal was a catagory A risk. So by using their own reasoning what has changed? Why would the board think they could attend tomorrow or the rest of the season. As far as i can see no threats were made and there have still been no threats at all. So i ask again what has changed???
Yeah agree there. I fully support the campaign and will be attending the protests when at the games, but that specific wording I’m not so sure about. I can see that being used by those not in support of the campaign to ask “who do they think they are” etc.

Fair play to everyone involved. Listening to a space tonight and a brief comment was made about people having their tickets revoked. I’m not certain but I think the term “free tickets” was said. Interesting. I wonder if that has prevented people calling things out in the past.
Not having a go but I can’t but feel a sadness that all this now could of been prevented many years ago if there was more of a alignment with fans at that time.

As we discussed earlier, the need for change is obvious.
My thoughts are that I just don’t think these things are thought through properly before being posted on social media sometimes.
Sometimes the posts take 300 words to say what could be said in 50. The message can get lost in that.

Yeah, it's just very aggressively worded and "they are not welcome this season or ever again" plays into the narrative that the board are trying to put out themselves, that they are unsafe in the ground. It plays into their hands, and is also unhelpful when we are trying to attract investors who in turn would join the board.
Like I said, I agree with the cause, I just think it needs to be thought through better.

I thought the tone of the initial 27 years stuff last year was better, thanking Moshiri for his investment and asking him to making certain changes, especially at board level. I know things have escalated a bit (and the board have certainly played their part in that) but demanding the owner of the club stay away from the stadium is overly hostile and doesn't even make any sense - like it or not it's his club and he could ban all of us before we could somehow ban him. We are all rightly angry but it needs to be kept respectful and realistic to succeed better.

Think most just want him gone now aswell staduim or not
I actually thought the 27 campaign was also “badly” done but again I agree with the cause.
I say “badly”, what I mean is it came across as amateurish to me but then we’re football fans, not professional complainers.
Danny, I agree. There's pros and cons, but one part deeply concerns me: the demand for them to not attend and the threat of post-match protests.
They could easily be used to legitimise their initial decision to not attend because the demand could end up being misconstrued as a thinly veiled threat.
In fact, for some it may actually be that, but for most I suspect it isn't; yet, we know how the press love to lap up the board's claims, orchestrated by Bill.
You can guess the headlines now: they're not attending because the fans have done x, y and z, even if x and y never occurred, but people will believe it due to z.
I do not want the board to attend, but it needs to be done in a way where they are in the wrong - their failings are highlighted - rather than the fans be to blame.
Like with the initial decision to not attend, Prentice will be sounding the horn this evening to bring the friendly press in to help spin the story for their own end.
