The Everton Board Thread

[blueboy72]

I agree thats the likely scenario if they come on board - hardly worth getting excited about though is it ?

If it’s the start of the process and it removes certain people , then it’s very exciting Imo

Alan Myres working on behalf of the owner I see.

Spurs gonna swoop in last minute and steal even these on us

The thing is, if that happened NOBODY would be shocked if the introduction between MSP and Levy was prompted by Mr. William Kenwright.

"Just an innocent dinner at Scotts between people with a common interest, what harm could it do?

I cannot wait until he's finally gone and Everton is scrubbed clean of his influence.

Once that's happened, I'll eagerly await those previously gagged and bullied to come out with their own version of events.

His reign will be completely and utterly ripped apart. All illusion of doing what's right for Everton - gone.

Couldn't happen to a nicer chap.

Not hung up on anything other than wanting the very best every season for my club, it's an alien concept to want your team to not succeed to be a big fish in a small pond, you're entitled to that view of course and I understand that view, I just coudn't go along with it, 16th in the Premier League is still doing better than playoffs in the Championship.

Sunderland having worse finances than us made me LOL a lot too.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

I sincerely hope Alan Myers is working off solid information from Moshiri.

Apologies if posted....

Agreed but surely its worth waiting for the "right" buyer than just anyone wanting to make a quick buck.

I just want to believe again my friend. Im of the dying breed of old skool fan who wants to see trophies and success not be obsessed with balance sheets and profit margins.

Yes the latter is important too but give me something to get excited about. Give me India's richest bloke or Red Bull or the Kuwait Investment Group than some Americans who are sniffing around another English club treating us like we're the last resort.

I share your antipathy about American businesses and their potential involvement in our I club.
But the thing this club needs more than new finance is someone who can restructure and bring a sense of direction and purpose to this club, something that’s been missing for nigh on 3 decades now.
It’s been proved that money alone cannot repair our grossly dysfunctional club.
Reading the mission statement of this group it implies that , organisation, purpose and oversight is exactly what they propose to bring to the sporting clubs they invest in.
And that is why ,should they succeed, I am willing to give this group a guarded welcome despite their provenance.

Nothing. There's an F1 Grand Prix there this weekend.

Not sure about that….yes there is the Grand Prix, but they do not appear to me to be the type of guys to mix in social circles. They are U.S based and I think the Spuds owner is based in the Bahamas I think so not far fetched to think they have had preliminary meetings over there, unless you definitely know different then I defer to your knowledge.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Its all hypothetical mate - many of our fans have fallen down the rabbit hole of believing if we drop thats us done and dusted forever but the path to success isn't set in stone otherwise everyone would be using the same formula.

Hypothetically we could stay in the Prem for the next 5 years and be finishing 16th-17th every year avoiding the drop by the skin of our teeth and not progressing.

Whereas we could go down, drain the swamp, sign some of the young hungry players in the Championship and come up playing some good footie, recruit well with the promotion dough and be in Brentfords position.

Obviously it could go the opposite way and we stay down for a few years but a new 53k ground means eventually we'll be back as our revenues would drawf the teams in the division.

My point is dont get hung up on the PL status - Leicester were in the Fizzy pop league for years, came up then won the Title and FA Cup in which we've been in the league for much longer and done sod all. Newcastle & Villa both went down in recent years and have both overtaken us. Sunderland went into League One with worse finances than us and they're just outside the Play off spots in the Champo a season after coming up from League one.

Dont listen to Carragher/Nevilles Propaganda - the PL isnt the be all and end all like they'll have you believe. Burnley fans will likely be much more optimistic about their future this season watching them win every week playing good togger than they were losing every week and all the doom and gloom of the bestest league in the world last season.

Good post that.

Spurs have just agreed some deal to host a new F1 Karting series from their stadium and the MSP people are involved with McLaren so I wouldn't be surprised if it's something to do with that. Levy and Spurs have these big plans to make themselves into some sort of multi sports setup by all accounts.

Ah right wasn’t aware of that

I dont care if we go down - I didnt care last season and I dont care this one because what league Everton play in is irrelevant to my support for the club.

Sadly a lot of fans have been brainwashed by Carra and Nev that finishing 15th for the next 3x seasons with the season being over by Xmas in order to facilitate paying the likes of Iwobi and Mina 100k a week is "success" because we're a "PL side" whereas if we went down, rebuilt the club and pushed to win the championship and come up with some hard working players is somehow a "disaster" because the matches wont be on Sky or BT sport !

The modern PL fan is alien to me - when the ESL plans came out I was delighted as it meant EFC became that much closer to winning a trophy or title if the scabs left... yet many fans were gutted because the money and top players like Salah and De Bruyne would leave with them.

Most fans just care about banter on social media with rival fans or putting cheeky £1 acca bets on City to draw RS 3-3 as they tot up 100 points each a season than their own club actually doing anything. Even the big 6 fanbases who actually get to see their sides win stuff are more concerned with bragging who's got the biggest revenue streams on twitter and "bantering" rival clubs than actually going the game and buzzing seeing their team lift an FA Cup.

Football/modern fans needs a reset.

your deluded you can enjoy your championship watching our team disappear

into the abyss

You know what would've lifted the mood? A striker.

Plenty of those about at the moment.

Don't we already have a mission statement, Nil Satis, Nisi Optimum

What you have to consider Matty is that if we go down then we can’t afford this wonderful magical all singing all dancing stadium with the vibrating seats and head massagers, and will likely be playing at Tranmere or still at Goodison while that gets turned into an Odeon. So actually it is in our best interests to bob around in 15th place and continue taking the Premier League TV money in order to pay back the stadium which will take years and years.
