The Everton Board Thread

[degsy]

Bill Kenwright still not resigned yet?

There's a surprise. He's not right in the head.

Oh he's  very right in the head mate, and there are allegedly 45million reasons to prove it

 

[degsy]

So if in some crazy moment Moshiri pulls the trigger on DBB, BK and GS. Does that give Moshiri another chance with fans or would you still want him to sell up and move on?

If he does he gets to go without the tar and feathers

Community Chest could be the Arteta money, or the Gordon..

None of what we did seemed particularly bad at the time though.

You say "it might mean we just survive in the Premier League" in Year 2 but nobody at the club had the patience for that. Everybody wanted to move a mile a minute and it was in that effort of trying to stop the bleeding that the problems started to arise.

Of course, nobody would ever have the patience for this, but really only Chelsea and Man City have spent big for instant success, and they have spent on big signings and infrastructure at the same time.
Man U & Liverpool have had the money to do both as well. We could have been more pragmatic and had slower success, all it needed was a steady hand at the top. Leaders that ar eSteady, ambitious, brave and clear thinkers.

I can't stop thinking about how the 7 years might have gone if Moshiri had spent his money more wisely:

Year 1 - 'strategic football review' - whether you like it ore to Martinez had some good ideas for Finch Farm, and strategy and we could have recruited a good DOF , professional development coaches, and improved FF facilities immediately
Year 2 - back Martinez or another young manager / experienced DOF model. Ensure the coaching staff are experienced. Set expectations that we have to overhaul our recruitment, training and club culture, and it might mean we just survive in the Premier League
Year 3 - start signing 2 young stars, 2 established PL players per season.
Year 4 - Europa League qualification, advanced to a final. Stadium planning
Year 5 - Increase spending to more established stars, star manager, spend big minimum 8th place
Year 6 - start integrating youth players and ease on spending minimum 8th place
Year 7 - our homegrown talent and management style should start seeing results 6th - 7th place
Year 8 - 4th - 6th place - we have now qualified for Europe 3-4 times under Moshiri.
Year 9 - move to BMD . 4th - 6th place , can we win a cup soon?

It seems easy in hindsight, but I'm just imagining how a sensible, long-term approach might have panned out.

FA Cup: How Brighton keep 'crashing through the ceiling'

Brighton's key figures discuss the club's rise to becoming an established Premier League side and what next for the ambitious Seagulls.

Jealous. Look at this quote about the Chairman & Chief Exec

"Bloom injected finance to allow Amex Stadium to be completed and, in the club's latest accounts to 30 June 2021, has provided interest-free loans amounting to £337m.

Beyond that, according to chief executive Paul Barber, he sets the tone for how the entire club operates.

"It is the chairman's vision," says Barber. "It is my job to organise the club, motivate the staff and bring that vision to life.

"Where we are now has come through a combination of planning, resilience and having a sense of where we want to get to and how we are going to get there.

"We try and plan for situations other clubs might get rocked by. The aim is to come out of the other side in at least as strong a position as we went into it and ideally better."

The approach has seen Brighton develop a reputation for being one of the top flight's most uncompromising negotiators."

On the other hand, we've got someone from Brighton earlier this month, and The Athletic, at least, seems to be impressed wIth Thelwell's 120 point plan.

I wish the club would tell us more about it.

Chance should be VAR review

Chance should be VAR review

In our case then it will become " No Chance "..

Nothing wrong with this plan.
Apart from the fact that Martinez didn’t want to work with a DoF, so he would have had to be replaced immediately.

Probably why he has stayed in international management and not been taken on by a club anywhere.

oh ok, didn't remember that. I know managers don't ever agree to this, but I wish as Martinez's boss, someone had influenced him to work on his shortcomings - like defence, retaining the ball or that old cliche 'game management'. maybe if they tried to get him a better no.2 or better assistant coaches. We might have had a better time with him as manager, because I liked a lot of what he did, but he didn't learn quickly and adapt his tactics. even now the World Cup seemed to suggest he hasn't got any flexibility or sophisticated tactics. So I guess his departure was inevitable, but of all the last 7 years, I'd like to have seen a longer time with Brands and Silva together, with an actual strategy that they were able to execute, and some patience given to them to rebuild.

I'd actually be well up for a football version of Monopoly. The jail should be the physio's room

Three piles of white dog turd would be just as effective, and far cheaper

They don't even have to be white, tbf

Absolutely agree with that point about Silva , it’s the one time the board should have been strong and backed Brands who wanted to keep Silva.
