Everton CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale goes missing as regulator she helped propose looms over Goodison Park - Martin Samuel​

Denise Barrett-Baxendale has gone quiet since realising the independent regulator she helped propose may aim for Everton first, says Martin Samuel.

The Times writer has cited that dynamic, alongside the messy situation that has seen the Premier League go back on its word to charge the Toffees with an FFP breach thanks to the incompatibility of real-time accounting in football, as evidence for why the impending government oversight is so complicated.
Everton, and other clubs, had been assured a year earlier that everything was fine with the club’s finances, only to refer them to the independent panel when the accounts were submitted, and that has turned up the heat on both the club and the league with the threat of the regulator closing in.
Samuel writes in The Times: “Everton’s chief executive officer, Denise Barrett-Baxendale, was on the advisory panel of the original government review, which proposed a regulator, but appears to have gone rather quiet now it appears the first place one might come calling is Goodison Park.

“Particularly with the threat of licence removal also becoming real.”

Talk about being between a rock and a hard place for Everton fans, with the despised board running the club now at loggerheads with a league which they are desperately trying not to fall out of.

And on the horizon the the government appears set to be added to the equation, just when it didn’t seem like it could get any worse.

In truth most would welcome Farhad Moshiri’s hierarchy having their licence removed to do most things at the club given how the Toffees seem to lurch from one crisis to another with increasing frequency.
But a year ago there was confidence that their actions were being kept in check by the Premier League, who have since done a 180 degree turn and shown the exact opposite.

So a further authority above them could go distinctly either way, since, just as with the arrival of VAR, something which is theoretically a positive is only as good as those in charge of it.

Barrett-Baxendale going quiet at a choice time will come as no surprise, given none of the board have much to say publicly until it comes time to turn fire on the fans.
But can football clubs be trusted to run themselves in a responsible manner? In the case of Everton, evidently not.

Can the league be trusted to successfully keep things in order at its member clubs? Again, in the case of Everton, evidently not.

But will a regulator solve those issues or create new ones of its own? For now that is not clear.

Thanks mate and despite however the likes of @ForeverBlue92 may try to waffle about her integrity and ”‘what a great job “ she’s doing, it’s a pretty brutal calling out of not just the club, but her as an individual.

This by a someone, who was recently in the pay of the board.

Think it's the fact she has been singled out for this treatment after being the center of headlockgate which raises the eyebrows.

Either way it's not a good look

Seems to me that she likes to play to the gallery.
Was the same with the Super League, her comments and moral indignation might have gone done well in some quarters, but people in glass houses etc etc.

I recall before a comment piece being written that we did things with class and dignity. How those days have gone. In part, thats no harm either as we operate in a dog-eat-dog world, and the moral high ground is very lonely territory to occupy, as is now clearly evident.

DBB is an irrelevance in herself and merely a placeholder. We need executives that are both competent and savvy. She is neither.

No mention of Kenwright, Samuel seemingly still in his pocket
 

If he's blaming Denise only then that would imply to me that he is still Bill's friend.

No he's blaming the board as well, but actually singling Denise out for going missing, the point of the post was, in the past the likes of Samuels, could always be relied onto to back the board, hence now Rats deserting the sinking ship. Elder if there is a split in the boardroom.
 

When will there be a response from Kenwright to the article? Surely he will support his CEO (still working tirelessly!?). 'Watch this space', 'Good Times'.

I think about this sometimes and I can't quite believe I was sucked in when it came to that particular transfer believing it could happen that was the day he lost me forever I felt so let down and disappointed and an absolute fool to boot
