The Everton Board Thread

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.

Couldn't agree more.

Yeah spot on, it's what I meant by "Does it also almost inadvertently endorse their decision to stay away previously?"

Like I said, I agree with the cause, I just think it needs to be thought through better.

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.

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.

Bill Kenwright and Denise Barrett-Baxendale did the damage to the reputation of the club and its fans on 14 January 2023

We are past all that now or with any thought this is a negotiation with them

They need to be told continually they have no place at the club

I believe you'll see sufficient numbers to ensure that this will be demonstrated

If they want to challenge that by trying to attend they'll face opposition. From myself included

That message is 100% spot on and no doubt plenty of thought went into it. There is no ambiguity at all.

Who cares how the club spin it ? The fans have already been blamed by them for the present impasse. Moshiri has no interest in football so he isn't coming to games anyway.

Keep up the pressure, it's the only way to achieve change.

I dont really care if the board go to Goodison or not.

But they are entitled to go if they want.

And people are are entitled to peacefully protest against the board.

I agree it will be a distraction when they do turn up. But they are free to go to watch if and when they want. And I say that as someone who supports the protests and thinks the board should all have resigned a long time ago.

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

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.

I can see how against Arsenal you'd want to get another body behind the ball, less so Liverpool but still understandable - but the time to push another body upfront is here.

I expect to see it tomorrow.
