September 2011 Why do the same people on here knock other Blues who dont agree with everything that Bill Kenwright says by attacking with childish comments.

No one has given a good arguement as to why the protest should not go ahead. Over the last couple of years we have started to show signs of a club in decline, fortunatly we currently have a decent team capable of maintaining a top half table position, without some form of investment this cannot continued. All the Blue Union are doing is letting the board know that support is building against them and they need to act sooner rather than later. By the way no one is being forced to march in protest, if you dont agree with the protest then stay away, go to the game as normal and get behind the team...

shadesofnight, not at all. Its just that a fair percentage of people talking in support of these blue union berks appear to have just signed up to post on the subject.

I'm not saying anything about any persons rights at all, just making an observation.



Christ, with an over reaction like that you'll fit right in there.... are you the judean peoples front?

Hi shadesof night ...firstly let me stress i am neither anti orpro BU....

however inanswer to your question "No one has given a good arguement as to why the protest should not go ahead. " I dont think BU have given a good reason why it should...i've asked many times ..what are they protesting about ? and whats the reason for the protest ?

no one answers apart from "the state of things that are happenning"...well we all know the state of things..we all know the financial difficluties etc etc...will a protest help ? i doubt it...

they sya themselves they're not trying to get BK out !...they're not trying to get the board out ! so what are they trying to do ?

You're right that doing nothing will acheive nothing, but it won't make matters worse. What we need, is for some of the obviously incredible business people on here to offer their services free of charge and to sort this mess out. Step forward TC and KHL (I'd do it myself but I can't be bothered). Problem is this Blue Union seems to consist of some escapees from Charlie Chalks dimbo factory. There are probably people with genuine, viable ideas, thing is, the club are too busy listening to people like Elstone, himself, a former member of Mickey the Monkeys travelling circus.

I would happily act as a fans representative and posess all the right credentials..what i dont posess is the "password" to get in with the "incrowd"..

You need to live on Bluekipper, breakfast at frosties, then after the game straight in the winslow. Your name must end in either y or ie For example. Woody, Smithy, Cheesy, Spoony or Roy.

To be honest....Everton are in the mire financially. They are in the mire with the fans. The boards investment and asset is in the mire too, importantly (regardless of anything anyone says).


The best people to sort this out are the current board.



But you have to realise. Investor swant clubs with good stadiums (City), or one club cities (Portsmouth, Newcastle), or club in London with wealthy fanbases (Chelsea, Fulham) and those picked up from the championship with a big past and a possible bright future (QPR).



Everton shares a city with one of the most famous clubs on this planet. Its stadium is one of the worse financially in the top flight, if not the worst. The loyal fan base that goes to the games home and away is relatively poor by national standards too.

I'm not saying its a hopeless situation. But its not like Everton have investors forming any orderly queue, and the sooner these pillocks get their heads around that the better for all concerned.

Depends on the investor. If its a business interest with a decent sized sporting portfolio, then there is a good chance that they'd be happy to take a hit against their other sporting revenue for a couple of years.

Even if it wasn't a sporting investor, then there is all sorts of group related tax relief any large company or business person could claim. You'd wager Roman has been playing off his loses at Chelsea on tax grounds!

Depends on the investor... and sadly, depends on Liverpool as to how big an issue our stadium is.




But what ever you think of our board. They have years of experience in business and have proven themselves by their sheer worth. Can you say the same of Blue union?

They have years of experience of actually running a premiership club, and a club that is seen as having one of the most sane business models around...albeit in an insane world! What actual experience do Blue Union have?





Fair enough, if you want rid of the board or kenwright then buy a T-shirt and take a banner to the match and get yourselves on the telly.  People will take notice of you.


But for heavens sake, don't come across all upset that Kenwright has asked you if you can read a balance sheet when its clear that none of you can. Don't start giving it all this about how much you know and how 'naive' a mutli-millionaire business man is... from your student halls of residence. And for your own sake don't explain at length how you believe that the owners of a private company should step aside on your say so and pay someone other group of people to come in and sell it to any one of the number of investors that Blue Bill has turned away.

In short... if you want to scream 'Kenwright Out!' from your seat on match day... then fine.

But please don't try to put it across with all sorts of delusions of high minded grandeur and faux business expertise and understanding as it is just embarrassing and makes all Everton fans look like twunts.
