The Everton Board Thread

May I ask whether you were as affronted and quick to leap to the defence of our supporters when they were deliberately smeared and attacked by people or persons within the club?

Another point. That Melanie herself tweeted.

"His role is focused on liaising with broadcast and written media"

This suggests that David Prentice was in the media room when the club handed out the statement to Juliet Ferrington (BBC), Greg O'Keefe (theAthletic) and/or the ECHO's reporter. Including the non written briefing of headlock etc

Plus was involved in the 17 January 2023, rewriting/commenting on historical events, the club only hours before said it would not comment on.

That in itself rather startling and the comments I've seen from people have actually been very respectful (indeed my criticisms keep in mind she is Dixie Dean's grand daughter, but I'm not going to allow that to stop me criticising Bill Kenwright and the mis-management of the club in any way shape or form).

The wife of the senior communications manager is implying that anyone that criticises the mismanagement of the club, is 'splitting the fanbase' or has 'split the fanbase'

Its simply not acceptable.

They, the fans and shareholders, pay into the club. They have freedom of thought and freedom of speech.

No one has split the fanbase. Indeed that is despite Bill Kenwright's best efforts to do so. Protests do not impact player performance nor signings.

Neither of the Prentices will stop the criticism. That culture that originates from Bill Kenwright is gone. Never to return.

People have the right to call a spade a spade and criticise poor running of the club

They pay into the club. They have freedom of thought and freedom of speech.

In fact the inhibiting of criticism (e.g. Cancelling the EFC Annual General Meeting etc and misuse of media) has actually damaged the club!!!

In my opinion talks of liquidation are far fetched. That would be a scenario where Everton couldn’t pay back its creditors if it sold all of its assets.

We own a stadium, soon to be two. We have playing assets we could sell off for big money in Pickford Branthwaite Onana Calvert Lewin. We have a billionaire owner who is bringing in new investors and recently admitted he could fund the stadium himself if needed. Whilst financial regs stop him putting money into the team, there would be no problem in him paying off any creditor if needed. We don’t have a load of external debt either.

If Moshiri pulls the plug then yes of course we’d be in trouble but every single club in the league can say that. More likely someone would just buy us.

+1

As of today Forbes rank Moshers as been worth £2.6 Billion and if you believe Usmanov is still in the shadows (which I do) then we're in no financial trouble. I've also maintained I would be shocked if we dont have investment or even a takeover by the end of the season.

We may have trouble with the rules down there if we didnt cut our cloth and failed to get promoted quickly of course - but by then the new ground is built and our revenue increases over time to balance it out as the wage bill is also cut.

I also think we have a solid base of yoof in Branthwaite, Patterson, Garner, Simms on top of a few like Holgate, Gray, Maupay who alongside a few shrewd signings/loan deals for squaddies from the top 10 PL sides we would be back up under Dyche.

As we've said a few times on ere mate most people are brainwashed by the Kopite infested MNF/Sky/BT that we're doomed and some of the more gullible fans of ours on social media lap it up and start to actually think we would collapse and end up in League Two.

The fanbase isn’t “split”, it’s fully united against the crooks that run this club.
 

"The fan base is split, fan protests have damaged club's reputation + ability to bring in players".

This is clearly the agreed narrative now.

They know it's all over, days are numbered for current regime, whether we stay up on not.

The only thing left is the exit strategy.

Who can be blamed, how do I leave with my reputation not irreparably damaged?

It's like The Hunger Games.
 
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.

exactly mate that’s only a few of the f d up things
 
You suffer from something Matty called "scouse exceptionalism"

LFC - their fans think their club is the greatest, their fans are the greatest, all their players are world class, they are better than everyone else.

EFC - our fans think our club is the worst, the board is the worst, the owner is the worst, the squad are the worst, we're the worst club in the universe and if we go down we're dead because no one else has ever gone down in the 'istory of the game.

Not one team with solid finances, a good boardroom, clever owner and squad of good players who'll fetch £200+ millions in sales gets relegated - every single club that goes down is a basket case or poorly managed thats the nature of the beast.

So you can cry about it and act like the worlds ended... or you can pull your big boy pants up and hope its the start of the clubs revival and look to the future.

are you for real ? what’s being scouse got to do with it? i would say 99.9% want everton to remain in the prem lad. not the champ so you can have a “day out”
leg it with your deluded posts

No ones saying that my friend - you're being told if we go down we're not finished but you refuse to listen to sense Matty.

By your token Leicester, Newcastle, Villa, Fulham, Wolves even Leeds would all be in League Two / gone into liquidation yet all of em are in better positions than we are lol
 
The only split is people who just aren't bothered anymore
Both most of those would be bothered again if we ever got our act together. People react in different ways to repeated failure. Some get angry, some get sad, some get apathetic, some switch off completely.

But I'd say we've got 95% of the support feeling the same way at the minute, that's unheard of.
