The Everton Board Thread

[PKwalnuts]

While I commend DBB for her work with the community and charities I would not be so quick to rush into giving her any credit regarding keeping construction on schedule. As someone who sits on BOD's and as senior management who operates in the heavy construction and infrastructure industry at the highest levels up to 1.3B CDN. I can assure you she has no impact on schedule and construction completion. She has an academic MBA background. She does not even have PMP cert.

When you hear someone or a board is "Overseeing" a project, that my friends is a marketing term. Board's farm out all essential work to qualified consultants who actually know what they are doing and are merely reported to on a quarterly basis. She likely would have worked on the business plan and profitability model projections to help with the financing for Mosh. As an MBA a business plan should be right in her wheelhouse even if she is only an academic. She would have nothing to do with the actual construction, supplier contracts, permitting, and scheduling, managing change orders, of the work. You will never hear or see the people who are doing the hard yards to get this thing over the the line but I guarantee you they do not sit on the board.

She is a "face" for public consumption and PR. Like the rest of the board she needs to be equally responsible for running the football portions of the club to the ground. The fact she has not addressed "headlock" gate in any meaningful fashion one way or another and has potentially allowed herself to become compliant in a blatant fabrication turning the media against the fans (the only redeeming thing about this club at the moment) should cost her any and all goodwill she has built up.

Out with the rest of them.

Yes.

They tried to falsely claim that Denise Barrett-Baxendale agreed a contract that "fixed cost" of the stadium build

Henry Winter, August 2022 quoting individuals at the club

Today it was reported in Construction Enquirer: "The prices of many key building materials have risen sharply in the past year, including the prices of cement (25%), ready-mixed concrete (18%) and insulating materials (41%)."

This was after increases in Steel prices were quote Severfield PLC: "pass through costs" passed on to clients

The so called "fixed cost" stadium cost has gone from £505m to £760m

When it was challenged at the time people tried to argue against those challenging it. That it was impossible it was fixed. They were claiming it was true Baxendale did fix the cost. And that has been repeated time and time again on social media despite it being totally untrue.

There are far too many people that believe the down right lies from those within the club

The claim of a "fixed cost" stadium was a whopper. The fact they claimed it shows what it is like within Everton Football Club and what they are like.

It's a disgrace

There is an individual on this thread that has repeated time and again these false claims about Baxendale and the stadium

It is literally impossible for them to have fixed the cost and insulated from the enormous material cost increases in the last year.

This is why Moshiri himself said the stadium now costs £760m not the original £505m

For people to have continually repeated this false claim - an impossible claim - put out by people at the club

I think shows we have some in our fanbase that just believe anything the club says, like lemmings. Individuals at the club have played on it

They thought they would believe the false headlock claims too. that's why they tried it on in January

People need to think critically. If someone tells you something that is just fantasy (Bill Kenwright and Denise Barrett Baxendale do it all the time) question what they are saying. Don't just blindly believe them. Far too many fans just believe what they say.

Certainly don't listen to posters in this thread like @ForeverBlue92 repeating the nonsense

Indeed, and of course there's a word for it :

Just seems incredulous to me that any shareholding would trade hands whilst we are in a period of so much uncertainty, on and off the pitch. A buyer literally does not know what they would be getting. How can they then place a value on it?

25% of Moshiri's shares and a minimum of two appointments on the board.

Risk and reward?

Positive news that MSP are still keen on investing in the club, and that they’ll have their own guys on the board which would hopefully lessen the need to have a few of the current idiots there

Tbh, I don`t think many people listen to a word he says mate.

He`s not exactly known for posting anything remotely truthful and constantly try`s to dress up his opinion as fact.

Plus, he`s probably the number one bellend on the whole forum. ( which seems to be his aspiration )

Yet you believe everything an anonymous bloke on the internet called "Damo" tells you just because he says what you want to hear lol

I tend to trust a successful award winning businesswoman like DBB far more than half the pseudo wolf of wall street social media Evertonian "influencers"

Club plants mobilising in this thread again I see. Sickening tbh.
