ToffeeCup

August 2011 Now, I'm not saying that Blue Union or any of the people who supported them before or after the meeting have done anyone associated with Everton FC a favour, certainly not Moyes.

To be honest I can't believe Moyes felt the need to mention this cracked gang of walter mitty wannabe’s on MotD. But mention them he did, if maybe in the heat of the aftermath of the whole sorry debacle. Lets hope he uses it for the next couple of games to build the siege mentality that has been his forty in the past... Christ knows the team need it after QPR.

I’m not sure I know which member of which group that forms part of Blue Union has just resigned, the news past before my eyes without the slightest inclination to take in any additional detail. But I’d like to suggest that we should not pay it any mind what so ever, for our sake and theirs.

Hopefully the denizens of Toffeeweb, the likes of those obsessed with Mr Green on Kipper and those who still like to talk about ‘what could have been’ had the Fortress Sports Fund not put an end to Mr Gregg’s take over attempt, will now take note of that which has long been obvious to most of us:

Going too far down that road makes you look like the hapless_twunt you so clearly are.

Making that point beneath the full sweltering glare of the public and the press not only underlines that point but also draws attention to a whole host of fruit loops that this club, and any other, could do without. Or at the very least, could do without hearing from, again, in any capacity.

Frankly, I hope Toffeeweb in particular just closes its doors and falls off the internet as a direct result of this damning episode in the clubs history for its own role in the ‘radicalisation’ of the more susceptible of our fan base.





But aside from that and as others have pointed out... Blue Union members, more than likely distracted by the wurring sound of the cassette tape in one of their pockets, didn’t even pick up on the main event.

The big hint that Kenwright offered them, in fact you could argue it was probably the reason Kenwright agreed to the meeting. The comment regarding a possible ground share being something that both Everton’s current and future owners might well look at... and that Mr J W Henry is now open to.

You can read into that what you like, and I’m sure many will.

Personally, I think it a touch odd that a club that refuses to talk about the players of another clubs is prepared to talk about the owner of our nearest rival sharing a stadium (that was from the agreed article, not the tape). There has also been no word to the contrary from Liverpool on the subject, although there has been a steady stream of hints suggesting its validity.

You could also argue that one of the most important people in any deal to purchase Everton would also be the person who could help sort out Everton’s stadium issues... again, Mr J W Henry.

Funny how Kenwright also adds that there is someone interested but he ‘hasn’t called me back’ in the same meeting.





In any case, and conspiracy theories aside, the football buying world has been made painfully aware just how desperate Everton and Kenwright are to find a buyer. That Everton has a squad of players that remain happy to stay, that the club even with the constraints of its aging stadium are able to tread water... just. And that Liverpool’s new owners also need a new stadium too and are willing to look at sharing.

That’s as good as any fan wanting new owners can hope for in terms of an attractive situation for wealthy new investors of the calibre that are open to the idea of building one of the most impressive stadiums in the country, as would befit both teams.

And now, we can also see those whining about those who run our club with the means available to them for what they are. Those who let their imaginations run wild with tall tales of smoke filled rooms, shady deals, retail magnates and off shore mountains of salted away transfer cash and worse... Now, as Blue Union disintegrates under the weight of its own shame, we can all agree that is behind us and that we can now deal with these people in the appropriate manner:

• Do not attempt to take anything they say seriously

• Approach with extreme sympathy

• Do not ridicule their point of view for their mental state may well be fragile

• Escort them away from the ground, and to the nearest hospital, for all our sakes




Maybe Blue Union have done us all some good!
