Hoping fans emotions have settled a bit now and would like to raise a few point.
Yesterday it was reported Denis Barrett Baxendale didn't attend the game on safety grounds following a reported 'head lock' experience following the Brighton game. If this is true, then why wasn't it made public at the time, the culprit dealt with etc instead of using it as an excuse not to attend yesterday.
Reported that Bill has received death threats. If true can understand that this must have been reported to the police and investigation ongoing.
In both cases above it would not stop either person attending the Southampton game as police or security escort could have been asked for and provided. Which leaves me thinking they didn't want to face the music knowing a planned sit in was being planned.
A lot of blame directed at Mr Moshiri, whether this is right or wrong I won't enter into. Fans must remember he bought into the club and has enabled the club to move a new ground project forward, and provided finance for new playing staff. He would be the first to admit that he knows nothing about running a football club and so has left the present staff in position to do that. By staff I mean Bill and Co. Whether they have made a mess of it or he's interfered is to be debated.
On the field we have bought some rubbish players which has cost a lot of money. Who's fault as there has been a lot of changes in manager and director of football to blame.
The current manager has his supporters and critics and I've been a supporter of his. I have to assume when he came to the club he was told truthfully the state of the clubs finances, so effectively he is doing the job with one hand tied behind his back. What I will say is that he is not shy in facing up to his responsibility as the coach in meeting the press for interviews. He does strike me as a person of integrity. Whether he is the right person for the job, I don't know and don't really know who is, but he is giving me the impression 'I don't need to be here' to put up with this.
Yesterday, Gordon, again, gave away a silly uneccessary free kick on the edge of the penalty area resulting in Southampton getting their winner. At fault here was it was stupid place to give the free kick away in the first place, secondly Southampton were allowed to move the ball back which allowed the taker an easier shot at goal without any protest from an Everton player and there seemed a casual effort in setting up the defensive wall with Pickford just standing far to his left, but he may well not have saved anyway.
Ward Prowse is just one player that Everton could do with so get an offer in quick. Sell Gordon to finance the deal.
With Patterson's injury a lot is being asked and expected from Coleman,

All BS for me regards the DBB in a headlock spat at and her car surrounded there was no report to police and even the police inside the stadium were confused as it wasn't mentioned in the morning match day briefing and in a society when everyone has a mobile phone are they saying that not one person caught it on camera just look how quickly the videos of the idiots chasing the players cars last night were uploaded.
This was timed perfectly to paint them as the victims and the Everton fans as thugs and after the game the idiots chasing cars played right into bills hands one thing is certain they have made a massive mistake going to war with the fans as they won't win.

I’m more concerned about what’s going on on the pitch. It’s all a distraction to what matters. If we were winning games, the protests wouldn’t be as strong.

Think the board have massively misread the room of they think releasing a statement at 12pm on matchday saying due to safety concerns the board of directors won't be in attendance was a good idea as from my seat I wouldn't be able to tell you if they are there or not so could of done it after the game. This is a ploy to make them look the victims and the idiots after the game chasing players down the street played right into their hands just want to add Jeff Sterling telling everyone the fans attacked the team bus was also a disgrace.
