wowwwwwwwww the guy who has taken over Reading was buying us a couple of years ago but the deal collapsed last minute with Kenwright claiming the consurtium "never came up with the goods"
Now this fella is on Skysports news now denying that he couldn't come up with the goods and has officially taken over Reading.

Believable4 Unbelievable8

The boy thats taking over Reading is 25 years of age and studied at Reading uni. He has inherited his very rich fathers wallet. He has now returned to Reading and invested. Now if your suggesting that 4 years ago a 21 year old Reading university student was keen on taking on a premier league club who were in Europe and who fancied sharing the immense wealth he has with a consortium then thats a bold claim. But I think its bull sh1t. Weather you like him or not, don't distort the situation even more by telling lies about the Kenwright situation.

Agree12 Disagree4

Well hes just been on ssn and he looks a little older than 25 mate,and he also mentions everton

Agree3 Disagree5

It was the guy who has bought Readings dad who nearly bought Everton,said Kenwright pulled out at the last minute.

Agree8 Disagree3

Hello ed I've just seen the interview on ssn about the reading takeover an I must say I feel gutted now I no fans are split over him at the min an I'm 1 who tries to defend him but he better of had a good excuse about not selling up to this billionaire otherwise he could of f###ed us up here I'm praying this Russian fella doesn't turn out to throw money about. Oh an before I finish ed I'm beginning to think if the deal never went through cos he's after to much money.

Agree1 Disagree1

To the 2nd poster..... I have just saw the interview and it's true, the 1st poster is not lying about Kenwright, the facts are there and the fella looks a lot older than 25 !

Agree1 Disagree1

The fortress sports fund were a Brunei based consortium of father and son! Headed by Samuelson! So it's you who needs to get you who needs to get your facts right! This was the money in the bank on monday kings dock money ring fenced speech!

I hate Kenwright sympathisers, they have dillusional thoughts!

Kenwright is the footballing equivalent of Adolf Hitler and Roman Emperor Nero! He is throwing up a smokescreen telling us everything is fine, while we are in the trenches sitting in the bunker planning his escape route and he fiddles whole Everton (Rome) burns!

2004, "this club is up for sale, well it's not up for sale, it wasn't up for sale when I bought it"
"Kings Dock Money is ring fenced, " this ground will fail its safety certificate"
"Fortress sports funds money will be in the bank on Monday"
"I wouldn't sell that kid Rooney for Ł50m!
"Yes we've made a bid for Moutinho, yes he's David's number 1 target, but hey listen, that is the one the paper does know about, I seen one the other day and all I can say is WATCH THIS SPACE"
"our partners for the Kirkby project will provide Ł52m in assistance!"
"the Arteta money will be made available to David in January!"

There are your facts! Do you still support this man??
If you do your no friend or supporter of EFC!!!

Agree1 Disagree1

Hes not a billionaire probably couldnt afford us hes worth or at least his father boris is worth 300 million

In 2004, the media reported that Boris Zingarevich intended to acquire a large stake in English football club Everton. Upon the request of Zingarevich, that information was retracted. According to British media, the football club was really interesting to Zingarevich’s son Anton. He himself had no money to buy it, but he practiced abroad as a football manager. There is no information confirming the purchase plans. This episode is insignificant, but given that Boris Zingarevich studiously avoided the media spotlight, it looks interesting. Maybe it was advantageous for someone to put Zingarevich as a reckless spender and a wasteful man.

Boris Zingarevich


Net Worth: $ 330 million

Ed any idea what KENWRIGHTS personal fortune is?

I know Jon Woods sold Ocean software for Ł120m is that his personal fortune?

Robert Earl? Approximately Ł200m

Considering these figures, they still will not part with a penny as a speculative investment. What's that old adage? Speculate to accumulate!

They have just made a lie of that!
Kenwright borrowed the money to buy the club! Once in power offset the debt against the clubs revenue! Turned a Ł15m debt into between Ł45m & Ł67m the exact figure is another shrouded in mystery! Diluted the shares value with a share issue to generate further revenue to service the increasing interest payments!

On the whole these 3 clowns have invested NOTHING into the club! Own the majority share which they purchased for Ł30m!
Offset that against the club al la Hicks and Gillet, have valued the club at 4 times that amount NOT INCLUDING THE DEBT! And have sat back whilst a fictitious Invester/buyer is sought 24/7?

I agree he is a modern day Meglomaniac with dilusional tendencies! He does have Ivory Tower Syndrome! It's gone horribly wrong all of a sudden and now he can't exit the club without either covering his tracks for many a year of mismanagement or hiding the tangled web of deceit he will leave behind!
All I can say is when this is eventually over Blue Bill the Biggest Evertonian, won't be welcomed back into the boys pen, nor any other part of the ground!
He will need to seek another sporting pastime or watch his beloved team on the big screen! THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE BILL!

Two of David Moyes's rumoured targets are on the verge of signing for other clubs according to reports.
Mounir El Hamdaoui is apparently on the verge of joining Espanyol after falling down the pecking order at Ajax and Alessio Cerci looks destined for Genoa (which is where he was always going, it seems, contrary to the Mail's assertions that Everton were about to land him).

I hope we don't get rodallega, have Wigan fan friends and they both said he is very annoying ang lazy. Also look at his goal record 106 apps with 26 goals, not good!

Believable4 Unbelievable6

Take this lad over Saha anyday. Not to mention, he does play for Wigan lad, might do better at a club that provides more opportunities (although right now, that doesnt really support our cause LOL). Scored a peacher of a free kick against QPR on the weekend.

Agree1 Disagree1

1 week to go and the board are silent and all we hear from DM is that he is hoping to bring in 2 or 3 more players in this window. Are we ever going to get a straight answer.
Sign a few players and freshen things up in particular up front. Give Buddle a chance. Our American contingent haven't let us down so far. Another striker aswell as Buddle and hopefully we will get Rodwell, Barkley and co fit and actually start to play some football. Two wins on the bounce would do wonders for confidence. Like someone posted the other day lets finish the season strong and show our worth as a club to any potential investors.
Stating the obvious ...yes.....whole hearted Evertonian ...Yes....but never the less now is not the time to become shrinking viole

Everton have made an offer to loan Turkish striker Mevlüt Erdinç from Paris St-Germain.
Erdinç has scored 24 goals in 59 games for the French side, but has found himself surplus to requirements in Paris and is available for transfer.

Believable7 Unbelievable6

I'd love it to be true but there is no way that Wigan would let Rodallega go for less than 5 mil and that's being conservative. Also Arsenal, Juventus and the RS...surprise, surprise are after him. (Wavertree Blue)

Moyes trying to take Varela and/or Juan Iturbe from Porto. So says FreddieBoswell7 on twitter, reputable agent/journo. Big in Italy. Also says Cerci is a world class talent and it'll take a lot to take him from Italy to (currently) lowly Everton, yet the Bily fee may give more scope to work on the Cerci deal. Hope to god we pull some strings for once... IMWT

Believable5 Unbelievable6

Saw this mate and i posted it too but musnt of been accepted to most. Freddie Boswell sometimes isnt reliable unfortunately.

Agree1 Disagree2

I mean post, not most. Valera is very pacey and gets goals too i believe, Cerci be too good to be true i think

24 Jan 2012 19:59:03
Talksport has mentioned that Everton are set to lose out on cerci. Reports are that he is preferring to stay in Italy, with Genoa looking favourites to sign him. AW.

Agree4 Disagree2

Oh I have got it, you are going to help suggest which way the grass should be cut on the pitch? Or is it how we are going to re-finance the club? Or is it what brand of crisps to sell on match days? Or is it find new progressive owners with all your contacts? Or is it help sweep up after the matches?? The list is endless I so confused at how this will all help the club???

Agree4 Disagree4

I'm with blue union ther methods at first mite b questionable wat do expect ther only normal fans wat they've been sayin is proven 2 b true .alot of fans I know agree

Agree5 Disagree4

Blue Union are a disgrace dragging the clubs name to the gutter. You slating a guy who doesnt have enough money to invest in the club but is keeping it a float (Fact) your posting lies on everysite you can find. why dont you buy the club? oh you can`t can you! because you have less money than Bill SUPPORT YOUR TEAM! or do one.

Agree1 Disagree9

At least there trying something not doing nothing like u shower but your alright moaning about no money for players and will be the first to moan when Baines,Barkley,Fellani etc leave to pay the banks. Absoulute belters o and the person blaming this season on the BU, what a grade a tool PADDOCKBLUE

Agree7 Disagree5

No because you aren't supporting the team, creating a negative atmosphere and do not represent the majority of fans at this great club!

Agree4 Disagree1

Blue Union...pathetic. No takeover or investment, as we don't have a new stadium. Build it and they will come!

Agree1 Disagree6

Looks like billy bulls**ts been busy sending in all these negative replies! Blue Lee

Agree3 Disagree2

The only thing negative is how well BU have portrayed our club to the outside world.....thanks for that

Agree4 Disagree5

Derail the season? Think the season was derailed before it even started. Yet another slow start, late January and still no sign of improvement. Thanks Kens**te, thanks Moyes

Agree1 Disagree4

Resorting to abuse towards anyone who disagrees with you, well thats really going to win people around to the blue union.

Agree3 Disagree3

Yes we need a change at the top but why would I support a group of people who take a seceret microphone into a meeting? Totally wrong what you did BU and where has it got you? Fans like me just can't believe you or BK!

Agree4 Disagree1

Blue Union helped put the train of self destruct firmly on track before QPR game. I'll miss that meeting, I'd rather attend RSPCA volunteers mucking out kennels!

Agree1 Disagree1

Blue union care about everton that's a fact they havnt been aggressive fact.stating facts that r been proved true fact bill kenwright n this board r killin everton fact .if u think blue union r putting off investors that's a joke .the only time use will wake up is wen wer relegated.we r been destroyed by kenwright .but we can't complain cause wer nt proper blues what a joke .

Agree4 Disagree5

How the hell is it a fact that Bill is keeping this club afloat you prat? Funny ain't it what Samuelson's said and that is just 1 instance. We all know what Bill and his crew are, so shove your "facts"! All these excuses why we can't get a buyer stadium, debt etc. Debt is why any club ever needs a buyer, they happen. Anyone taken a trip to loftus road recently. This bloke is taking us all for a ride and yet there's still plumbs who support him. have a day off kids!

Agree5 Disagree2

So its now the Blue Unions fault we are where we are, what have they been doing controlling Moyes`s dour tactics all season? keep blaming everyone else

Agree1 Disagree1

Taped kenwright n put it out to all evertonians .to show wat an inbercile n how much trouble we r in .done an interview on sky right after his words were waitin to trade ,.ya well we've traded n gt Gibson half a million

Agree1 Disagree0

At the end of the day kemwright has not paid anything into the club - he's got others to loan him money to buy it for 30mill - he's not put a penny in - and now he wants to sell it for 150 million - and the cheeky git makes a big deal out of 'not taking any wages from the club' - no maybe not but 100 million profit for him n his chums might soften the blow a bit

why not sell it to a fans consortium of he wants to find the right buyer?

no - he wants the 100 mil or he wants the train set

captains mate elstone is the bosses captains mouthpiece and is also protecting his own interests

Agree1 Disagree1

Have heard there will be a march on the Casa, followed by a protest outside. It will be led by BK, RE, Sharpy, Phil Nev, Timmy Cahill and a clown......

Agree1 Disagree1

I am on the fence about the BU. There are pros and cons about there approach. let's hope anything planned is done with respect.

Agree6 Disagree0

S o s have joined blue union .Samuelson makes short statement on everton.

Agree3 Disagree0

The blue union are a loose group of people with a shared aim, consequently some of them are nutters. What is a fact however is that Kenwright, beyond any reasonable doubt, has consistently lied, had others lie, attempted to manipulate the press shut down the means by which fans could once communicate with club, sold assets, failed with merchandising, failed with not one but two stadium moves, refused to be held to account and done whatever he can to block the flow of information out of the club. How any of you can still back him is beyond any reason.

Agree1 Disagree1

All I will contribute to this is that if you all think this is all so shocking and we are heading for oblivion....what the f*ck was the 1990's then??! We are in touching distance of 7th/8th again this season despite all of this, have finished top 4-8 nearly all of the last 8/9 seasons...is it really such a disaster. Rather have that and the new training facilities and Moyes than last day of the season relegation battles!

Agree4 Disagree2

Unfortunately the above posts show the blue union cannot conduct themselves without resort to abuse they have no respect for anyone who holds a different opinion to them, even if they sympathise with their opinion of the Everton board of directors.

FollowEverton.com statement: Why we’re backing the Blue Union


FollowEverton.com today announce our affiliation with the Everton fans group “The Blue Union”. As a group of fans we have become disillusioned with our club and cannot sit by and watch it slowly die in the way it is at the moment. We believe Bill Kenwright and the current board have made significant failures in the running of the club, we believe the fans have been lied to on more than one occasion and that if things continue it won’t be long before we’re watching 20 second highlights of our team on the BBC’s “The Football League Show”. We believe the reason we have not been sold is an unreasonably high asking price and that it should be lowered to give us a fighting chance.

Failures of Kenwright and the board:
The King’s Dock: The King’s Dock would have been a fantastic stadium for Everton Football Club, a state-of-the-art 55,000 capacity stadium on the Albert Dock waterfront. Bill Kenwright called it the “best in the world”. He claimed the Ł30m required for the deal was “ringfenced”. It fell through.

Fortress Sports Fund: In 2004 we were told that an investment grouped called The Fortress Sports Fund were to invest Ł30m into Everton. We were told the money would be in the bank by Monday. It never arrived.

The Dan Gosling affair: In 2010 the young Everton player was out of contract, the club agreed a new deal with the player but forgot to put in writing, Gosling changed his mind and walked out for free meaning the club lost out on compensation which should have been due because of the player’s age.

Everton place: In 2010 the club proudly announced their plans for a new development to be built at the Park End. It was meant to host a new club shop, a cafe, offices, a museum and hospitality. It was due for completion in 2011 but nothing has happened and it has been shelved. Former Director of Communications Ian Ross blamed “IT issues”, CEO Robert Elstone blamed “insurance problems”. Its turns out Everton didn’t own the land in the first place.

NTL: Under Walter Smith Kenwright thought he’d got a deal with media company NTL worth Ł27m. Walter Smith was allowed to spend some of the money under the pretence that this would happen. It fell through.

Rooney: Bill Kenwright claimed he’d only sell Wayne Rooney for Ł50m, he sold him for Ł27m.

Kirkby: Much money and effort was spent in trying to move Everton Football Club out of the city of Liverpool to Kirkby. We were promised a world class stadium with fantastic public transport, what we would have got was not what we were promised. We were promised an effectively free stadium funded by Tesco, the public enquiry found this to not be true, with the actual cost to Everton being over Ł70million. Like all of the above, the plan ultimately failed.

AGMs: Everton have now banned AGMs where fans get a chance to ask questions to the board. The club now claim they speak to fans through their “Fans Forum”. Yet the people on this forum are chosen by the club and have discussed hard pressing matters such as whether to play Z Cars before the second half or not.

The finances: This is the real issue. Until Darren Gibson signed for Ł500,000 (the sort of fee a League One club would expect to pay for a big signing), Everton had not purchased a senior player in 2 and a half years. This is despite the sales of: Mikel Arteta, Jermaine Beckford, Yakubu, James Vaughan, Steven Pienaar , John Ruddy and Lukas Jutkiewicz. Not to mention countless outgoing loans which carry fees, including two season long loans for Joseph Yobo, a few James Vaughan loan moves, a Yakubu loan move and various other youngsters heading to Football League clubs. Add into the equation the fact that we sold Bellefield for Ł9m. This is quite frankly not acceptable.

Assets: Everton Football Club has few assets. The club’s superb Finch Farm training ground was sold to raise cash and is being leased back at a high rate which will cost the club a lot of money in the long run, a quite frankly idiotic business plan. The only assets the club have left are the 120 year old stadium and an ageing squad of players.

Debt: Despite selling all these players and not paying for new players, our debt has remained stable. Robert Elstone highlights the stability of this debt in his blogs as a good thing. Does this mean we have to keep selling our best players without replacing them to keep the debt stable? If so expect Rodwell or Barkley to go this summer. We cannot continue to sell players without giving David Moyes the proceeds and not expect to get relegated sooner or later.

The sale of the football club
Bill Kenwright has claimed there is no better salesman for Everton than him. But after searching 24/7 for investment for however many years it is now this is quite clearly not true. All we have got close to is selling to a man in a 2 bed flat in Manchester. We keep being told about these “interested parties”, there’s normally 3, we tend to hear about this around the time of protests and nothing ever happens.

Asking price: In an interview with Sky Sports News a few months ago, Keith Harris, appointed to help sell Everton, was asked if Ł150m would be enough to buy Everton. “You’re not far wrong” was his reply. We find this simply staggering. We have no assets, they’ve all been sold, we have a lot of debt, why on earth would anyone want to pay Ł150m for a club with no assets and debt? On top of that a new stadium is required, the training ground needs to be bought back, and new players are desperately needed. So it seems plainly obvious why we’ve not been sold. If Kenwright really loved the club he would lower the asking price and give it a chance of being sold, making a profit should not be on the agenda

Lies
We’ve been lied to on a number of occasions and highlight just 2 of these below, this should not be tolerated at all.

Goodison safety certificate: When trying to move the club to Kirkby Bill Kenwright told fans in an interview on ITV4 that Goodison would soon fail its safety certificate. 4 years later it still hasn’t and there no longer appears to be an urgency to move which you’d think there would be if Goodison was to soon be declared unsafe.

Arteta money: We all knew we were in financial meltdown so when we received Ł10m for him from Arsenal we all knew it would go straight to the bank (minus the sell on fee owed to Real Sociedad). The Liverpool Echo knew it too and reported that that was where the money would go. Everton made them retract this and apologise as it apparently wasn’t true. Yet a few weeks ago David Moyes said it had all gone to the bank and he thought everyone knew that.

Why we think it’s worthwhile publicly backing the Blue Union
We feel that are far too many fans who are uneducated as to the true facts. There are some fans whom will only use the official website for Everton news and are thus being fed spin and propaganda from the club and are believing every word. This was highlighted no more so than in the leaked emails where Robert Elstone sent an email planning a string of interviews with former and current players telling the fans nice things about the board just before the first Blue Union protest, as well as claiming the Liverpool Echo “owe them”. We feel the more websites there are who are publishing the facts of Kenwright’s reign, the more chance there is of Evertonians learning what is actually going on which we feel is important. We think pressure on the chairman and the board needs to be kept up, and if our fans can be united in that pressure then that can only help.

The other side of coin
We hate the fan base being split, but it’s even more frustrating when the arguments from the other side of the debate who are against the Blue Union are so weak and bereft of facts. The most common things said are: “but he’s an Evertonian”, “protesting is for kopites” and “Bill’s trying his best”. The fact that Bill is an Evertonian is irrelevant, we’re all Evertonians but that doesn’t mean we’re fit to run the club. He has been able to get away with murder because he’s one of us, if he wasn’t an Evertonian he’d have been hounded out of town a long time ago. We’ve held off protesting for a while now, but it is at the point now where doing nothing is not option, the club is dying in front of our eyes and we have to try whatever we can to urge Bill Kenwright to forget about making money, and just sell the club for a reasonable price to someone who can take it forward. If Bill is trying his best then quite frankly his best isn’t good enough.

If we continue down this path we will unquestionably be relegated, the message from us is simple: Please Bill, lower your asking price, find the right buyer and get this club sold before it sinks into oblivion. If you love the club, let go.

if any one can give me a good valid factual reason y i should back kenwright and co after reading this! then do so otherwise please SHUT UP and stop making lame sad excuses up for bill and co like hes 1 of us an evertonian that has lost its argument now sad sad sad

Agree3 Disagree3

Blue Union have divided the club...even wen we were rock bottom in the Walker days the fans stuck together not liking the divides in the fan base...laughing stock now ! Blue till I die ! Time to wind the BU up and support the team !

Agree4 Disagree3

How much money have you got lads? More than BK? No? Do us all a favour then, sit down and shut up. You are pointless.

Agree1 Disagree1

Will the clown be there giving big macs out this time.they say kids love to follow a circus thats all the bu is.no i wont be there leave it to you to mess are players heads up again.

Agree1 Disagree1

After reading the long post here I'm convinced that we need to now start protesting properly about the club and kenwright - this lot running us are obviously making a complete hash of it - whislt standing to make an eormous profit for themselves when the club is sold

I used to support Kenwright and board but I'm now convinced they're going to kill the club - one abysmal failure after another for a club that has regular 35k fanbase - its pathetic

however - these guys the blue union - who are they? Just a few guys in the pub?

there needs to be some kind of official opposition group - and if that's blue union that other fan groups and websites form behind then fair enough - but we need to know who these guys are - they may not know anything about business themselves

who is the best group to form behind for some kind of fan buyout?

is it 'trusteverton'?

Agree1 Disagree1

Which toilet cubicle are they meeting in or do they have enough members to pack out the entire gents at the Casa now?

Shut up making rubbish up please just give over

Agree1 Disagree1

Honestly some of the nonsense on this page is unbelieveable. Firstly Jags is injured at the moment and won't be available until after the transfer window closes and secondly for my money he his a class player we need to keep. i do recognise the need to strengthen our squad, but you solve nothing by selling your better players. It is time to put this silly talk behind us and get right behind the team starting with Friday night against Fulham. COYB

Agree1 Disagree2

You need to stop sniffing glue son. I know Wenger seems to have lost the plot but why would he spend Ł20M on Jags AND part with Wilshere, who when fit, is an integral part of the side?

Agree1 Disagree1

Moyes should have bitten their hand off last time. 18m for a player who has never been the same since the injury and has now turned into David unsworth. Football starts from the back and Jagielka is one of the main culprits for the s**te weve been dishing up all season. ( After Moyes and Neville)

I heard Royston Drenthe wants to sign permanent at the end of the season. His contract at Real Madrid will run out and he will be the only winger that will actually want to sign with us the way were playing at the moment.

Believable12 Unbelievable2

True there mate

Agree5 Disagree1

We have first refusal in the summer when the contract runs out

Agree3 Disagree1

Sorry, but he's a liability.

Agree4 Disagree5

Drenthe is clearly a huge talent who just needs pointing in the right direction and a bit of loving, Moyes is the man to do it, creative, fast, attacking, not degensive minded YET

Looking at potential ins and outs from all speculation.

I think we will get onouha from city as he nearly signed on last day of last window and hes snubbed qpr so that looks a goer, i think he is waiting for us to come in...this would solve a few problems at the back as im sorry phil you no longer cut the mustard, its time for you to take a coaching role , permanent 2 -3 mill from sale of billy.. distribution will be better and he is also cover for the CB positions, we are in advanced talks with cerci from fiorentina, he can play wide left or right and can fill either postion immediately, this lad has good pace and an eye for goal and he would be an excellent addition...probably loan till the end of the season. Very strong rumours of roddilaga from wigan, he knows where the net is and scores quite regular for wigan , this will be permanent and for a small fee of 2 -3 mill because his contract is up in the summer....then billy out which looks to be 5 mill which will fund the onouha and roddilaga deals..hope these come off as we would then have some nice balance to the team.

I just don't understand why moyes hasn't recognised that djalo is on free transfer he's quick fast and can put the ball in the net is. We were interested in him a while back he's still fairly young and could prove to be a risk that could really pull off

Agree5 Disagree0

Just word of mouth, but the buz is that phil neville and saha might go to wigan as part of the deal for roddiaga + sum cash, might be a deal that suits everyone.

Cerci going to Genoa...

Well less than a week to go and nothing.
Bily will be gone, there is some suggestion
that Moyes wont get much of the sale to spend on new players. The team looks like it has
no confidence.
We need new players which will give the
team a boost.
BK and Elstone make me mad they
continue to lie to us.
Not one of them have come out and told
us the truth.
1. How much 4 the club?
2. How much is the debt?
3. Is there any one interested in the club?
4. Who actually runs Everton?
5. What does BK want from Everton?

The Blue Don

Believable7 Unbelievable4

Who runs the club:the board/bank
How much for the club:160mill
How much debt:60mill
Is there any interest:yes
Why does BK want from Everton: A return on his investment and to know its gone to the right buyer.
Patience good things will come.

You are retarded mate. 160 mill. yeah, lets hang on and be patient someone will come along.......someday........when we are in the championship! i dont know why people are so against the blue union. they are only exposing the truth. how can you trust people who have lied to you on a regular basis??

Chelsea are not going to bid for rodwell. They will sign hazard who is one of there top targets and Im betting he goes to Chelsea well before they would sign or bid for rodwell, they just got Essien back they dont need anymore midfeilds, and for lukaku they will not loan him till/if Chelsea sign another striker. You all act like you want to get rid of rodwell And be happy if he left, he is far by one of are best players and he is only young, he might have hit a rough patch with injures and form but he will come good, are team has got the talent to be a top 8 top 6 team and if we want someone to buy us out we need to be that high on the table by the end of the season, they got the talent now we need to push them at home games so we get that victory!

The 5 people who disagreed with the Kenwright out statement are KOPITES!

Agree1 Disagree5

Bill kenwright is trying to sell the club and not for the 120m as stated in a earlyer post,he wants the club to move forward with a buyer who can show they have the cash to bring to the club and not some wannabe who wants to do a leeds or a portmouth.there is no point in selling the club to someone who will not bring anythink to us,davey moyes knows the situation we are in but is willing to weather the storm(thank god),just get behind the team and the manager and we might might have better things to shout about come next season! coyb

Agree5 Disagree3

I wonder where some of you get your ideas from! That's right boycott games and starve the club of more cash...that will help. Dwindling attendances...that will make us seem like an attractive proposition to new investors! Kenwright came along when the club was in real trouble and turned the club around. Yes by his own admission he hasn't got loads of money to put into the club but he has done the best he can and is openly looking to bring in new investment. What exactly is it you want him to do? Whatever you think of Kenwright boycotting our games doesn't do Everton any good and ridiculous demonstrations also don't help our profile. You are all entitled to your opinions but real Evertonians would never turn their back on the club...no matter what!

Agree1 Disagree2

Am I missing something? Force out BK? by protesting? genius isnt it, maybe some of you could run the club, sounds like you have real vision and realistic aspirations with that masterplan! Its amazing how people blame all of the current issues on BK and the board. The previous controllers of the club were a disgrace, BK moved for Moyes, has bought some pride back to Goodison in the manner in which we have behaved over the last 10 years or so and this is how he is thanked. WAKE UP IF THERE IS NO MONEY, NO BUYERS AND THE BANKS WANT THE LOAN BACK YOU CAN PROTEST ALL YOU LIKE IT WONT MATTER! IT WILL JUST MAKE PLAYERS FEEL EVEN LOWER IN CONFIDENCE TO SEE THE IN FIGHTING WHICH IS IN FACT HELPING TO DESTROY OUR CLUB FROM WITHIN!! GET REAL!!!

Agree4 Disagree1

AGREE!! THE WAY SOME SO CALLED FANS ARE BEHAVING IS A DISGRACE TO OUR CLUB! IF YOU DONT LIKE THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING WHY DONT YOU GO AND "SUPPORT" SOMEONE ELSE WITH ALL THE OTHER FAIR WEATHER FANS {Ed025's Note - besides shouting...dont presume all fans think the same way as you!...i am not a member of the blue union, but do have sympathy with some of their issues...this great club is dying on its feet whether you believe this or not..it is true, so what do you think we should do about it?..to me there are two camps...on one hand we have the ostrich,s, they are the ones who say BK and moyes are doing the best they can, and that we should trust them..well its time to get your heads out the sand guys, we are in deep deep trouble, and time is running out fast!....the other camp..i will call the radicals...lets boycott games...and abuse anyone who does not agree with their views! well for me it has got to be somewhere in the middle, a course of action that we can all agree on, something that unites the supporters, and to find a common ground to unite this great club...i urge all of the fans to get behind the team, until a solution to these troubled times is found ..please someone..make it happen..

Agree3 Disagree4

Why not a boycott for one match only - that would send aclear message to the Board without a prolonged campaign disrupting the players

Agree5 Disagree6

Boycotting won't achieve anything except more negative press toward the club. Kenwright is aware of the growing discontent, boycotting won't enhance his feelings on this, or even catalyse a reaction from him, no. All's boycotting would do is draw comparisons to Blackburn's fans. Its highly frustrating that we are seemingly sliding backwards, however is there anything that could really have been done differently? We're not a hugely worldwide brand with mass marketing appeal. We are a club with a good, rich history and a strong, local fanbase. This appeals to football fans, but from a business point of view, we aren't the most attractive prospect, since any prospective owner is going to have to invest in both a team and a stadium, as well as compete with the brand that is Liverpool. That isn't necessarily Kenwright's fault, its mere fact, and boycotting the Fulham game will change nothing. {Ed025's Note - you talk a lot of sense my friend..

Hi,

I was at the Blackburn game last week (lucky me, not) and was sat in the main stand.

I noticed a few rows down from me was Marcus Hahnemann with his wife, and more importantly was also Edson Buddle.

I approached Edson at half time with my son for a quick photo and to sign the programme and then asked him the question on every Evertonians lips “are you gonna sign” ?

He replied saying fingers crossed it will be Monday or Tuesday of next week, followed by it would have been done earlier but Everton are dragging things out!

Well we are at Tuesday already and still no news!

I then asked myself as I finished me foot long hotday, is this another one who slips through the net?

Robbo

Mr Bily going for £4mil, not a great fee but could be worse. Not a bad player, such high hopes but just didnt show his heart and talent often enough when playing for us, i think in the coming years he will make an impact and sign for another big club just to p*ss us blues off a little more. Cerci as a replacement would be amazing but a loan just isnt good enough, we'd only lose him to spurs in the summer, (as i suspect we will with drenthe) we all know what harry's like. Were not gonna land Defoe like numerous ppl keep saying we will on here, and we shouldnt be in the market for unprovens like hooper or rhodes. there are plenty of quality strikers around like huntelaar, nistelrooy, vagner love, miroslav klose, thomas muller etc who i think would be up for joining a club like ours. Heres hoping for something special during this transfer window. COYB

Believable3 Unbelievable8

Ok but all those strikers are either paid too much or cost too much so were back to square 1, there is no quick fix, moyes will have to start re building again and remove the older players, its gonna take time

Agree1 Disagree0

We cant loan anyone else we already have 4 in dier strac landon and rolls royce {Ed025's Note - i dont think dier counts...because of his age.

Did this lad really say Thomas Muller would be interested in joining Everton?

Agree1 Disagree0

There are plenty of quality strikers around like huntelaar, nistelrooy, vagner love, miroslav klose, thomas muller etc who i think would be up for joining a club like ours. lol

stephen c

Agree1 Disagree1

Not completely crazy, muller might play for bayern but the german league isnt a patch on the premiership. And he is a great player but not exactly world class. prob cost way too much tho. Klose is 32/33 so why not make one last move for a chance to try the english game? still an international and decent player but too old for the best clubs.. Love consistently linked with us so always a chance if affordable. Klass huntelar only plays for schalke, great talent but was linked with us a couple of seasons back and prob only cost 10-12 mil so viable if we could afford it. at least these players are an improvement on everyone wanting jordan rhodes or carlton cole or other piles of sh*te like is constantly said on here. too many so called supporters want signings that could actually get us relegated and way too many seem too negative about how big a club we are and who we could attract if we tried

Why MotD treatment highlights just how far Everton have fallen
By David Anderson

Published 11:57 23/01/12

(2)Recommend (11)
..
Match of the Day made painful viewing for Everton fans on Saturday night.

It was a reminder, not that Blues supporters needed it, of how their great club is slowly fading into the background of the Premier League.

Their game against Blackburn was billed as the latest instalment in Rovers' fight for survival.

After the 1-1 draw, no mention was made of Tim Cahill finally scoring his first Premier League goal since December 2010.

Instead Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson gave their thoughts on what it meant for Blackburn and Everton weren't even an afterthought.

This is how it is for Everton now and when they play one of the leading clubs - I won't say bigger because Chelsea and Tottenham are not larger than them - it is all about how their opponents fare in their quest for the title or a Champions League place.

And now, even when they play the likes of Bolton or Blackburn, the story is about them fighting relegation.

The story never seems to be about Everton any more.

This is a sad indictment on how far the club has fallen.

I would like to say drifting, but I fear things could get worse before they get better.

They have slipped to 14th in the table, which was always a worry of David Moyes, and are below Swansea and Norwich.

Friday's FA Cup clash with Fulham has become even more important and effectively it is what is left of their season.

Lose to Martin Jol's side and it will all be over for Moyes and his men.

That's how high the stakes will be for Everton when they run out at Goodison Park on Friday night.

This decline underlines the need for some change at the top and the club cannot be allowed to waste away like this.

A great club like Everton, with their proud history and tradition, deserve better than this
very sad reading this do the bk supporters still think hes done his best i supported him all along the more i see and read the more my support is dwindling actually if im honest its gone this is what we have become so so sad im the no 1 supporter because i care as r all of u not bill

Wish Bilyaletdinov the best, it didn't work out with us, shame because in his 1st season he showed a bit of promise, i will never forget his goal against Man United, cracker !
His 2nd season and this season he has showed he can't make it in this league, those saying he never got played in his prefered position, a pro footballer should be able to play in a number of positions and Bily got a run of games in the starting 11 quite a few times and proved he can't adapt

Believable8 Unbelievable4

Kens**te please go back with your luvies

Agree1 Disagree5

Just because you are a pro footballer it doesnt mean you will be comfortable playing out of your natural position, bit of a silly thing to say {Ed025's Note - to be fair...all professional footballers should be able to trap a ball, pass a ball 10 yards, head a ball and tackle...he was lacking in all these departments..

At the end of the day, everyone on here moaning that we need investment, however much i agree with you, the fact of the matter is that for whatever reason we haven't got it and don't seem likely to get it any time soon. So instead of constantly moaning, which isnt exactly a good advert for potential investors. Why dont we support our team when they need us most? Just a thought.

Nice one ed- Dan

Believable14 Unbelievable4

We do support our tem, but the team is getting worse every game, ticket sales, merchandise, season tickets have all risen in cost over the last 3 years. we have only bought 2 players since august 2009, velious = buttons and gibson 500k while selling arteta 10m yak 3-4m? beckford 4m? vaughn 2m pienaar 2.5m and now billy 4m.
thats around 24m we have brought in and havnt even spent 1m on players (i know weve had some loans) so something is not right.
so yes we support the team to its death, once a blue always a blue but we can still ask questions to our board who never seem to respond or care what us supporters think, bottom line is we are in a relegation battle and unless we are allowed to spend some of that 24m on defensive cover and a striker we are in real danger of going down.

Agree1 Disagree3

My season ticket has cost me the same for 2 years, who you buying yours from?

Agree1 Disagree1

So your season ticket cost the same for 2 years, still doesnt excuse the problmes we have financially, get with it.

Agree3 Disagree1

If we don't gt rid of this board we will slip out the league we will always support the team but the atmosphere created by lies ln leadership .u ask any evertonians n they will tell it's the worst they've felt .were tryin to b optimistic but everyone the fans the team is out on it's feet .solely down 2 the cretins who run the club.I'd love sum one 2 gt answers out of Trevor birch wyness and Ross be an interesting read

Agree1 Disagree0

I Know what you're saying, and i completely agree with your points but a lot of people don't support the club. Have you been to Goodison lately? Its very rare that there is any kind of atmosphere at the game, and hardly any game sells out. I know ticket prices have gone up, but we are still cheaper than almost every other club, especially when it comes to season tickets.

Im just as frustrated as every other blue my point is more that, we've got no money theres no point moaning about it all the time, and lets just get on with supporting our team. Lets just hope we see some of this money we are getting for Bily and get someone who can score a goal.
Dan {Ed025's Note - im afraid thats called.."blind faith" dan...the crowd are finding it hard to support the team vocally, because of the dross we are being served on the pitch. we are notoriously bad losers..and in my opinion should be..NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM mate, these are the values i grew up on...graeme souness once said..."show me a good loser...and i,ll show you a loser", for me he was spot on!...

Agree3 Disagree0

Let's get real though, has there ever been such a dive in Toffee supporters? This is sad times...

Agree2 Disagree0

I read a letter of a evertonian in one of the papers and what he said made complete sence.
Blue Union and all these stupid groups should put the mouths to some good use they are all for wanting kenwright and co to go and other stupid chants why dont they use there brains if they was to channel some of that energy and money they have into promoting everton - get us trending on twitter in the paper and stuff for new owners help advertise that the club 'is' for sale insteading of hiring out pubs and bars for meetings and protests, They obviously have some power to get on news etc and i think if they was to help promote that the club is for sale instead of just protesting they would not only generate a lot of media interest but would gain respect from everton fans

Agree3 Disagree1

Here is the letter below
However, I have a huge amount of admiration, trust and even affection for his efforts. When I was watching the Blues in England, my thoughts were dominated by team selections, player ratings, laughing at the reds, hoping for the top four, hoping for a cup run and in reality the last few years we went close. The FA Cup Final, the League Cup Semi-Final and the two 5th places were close to success, but we have now gone over the peak and are ready for a new era.
The reason I say this is because I was reading the Friday or Saturday Mail (don't know which because it is not published over here) in an article Bill talks about not wanting to be here next year, he is wanting to sell the club, has been for three years. Okay, good: the Blue Union want him out and he wants to go, he admitted it (whether Blue Union believe him, is for another article).
So my solution is simple. Help him go. Advertise the club for sale everywhere and anywhere, call TalkSport, BBC World News, articles in tabloids, start Twitter trends — find Kenwright a buyer, change the wording from "Kenwright Out" to "Find Kenwright a buyer".
Offer to raise money to pay for the likes of Martin Broughton to find a buyer, effectively my solution is not to get in Kenwright's way but to help him on his way. He wants to go so I think the Blue Union should help him do that.
If the Blue Union were able to find a suitable buyer, then it would lead to two possible situations.
1. The club is sold everyone is happy, Bill and the Blue Union, the club are in a situation to fight for glory.
2. The deal breaks down because of unrealistic demands by Kenwright. Surely, then his chairmanship would be untenable.
But why, is it the job of The Blue Union? well I don't think it is; however, they are up against a very charismatic, PR savvy, massive Evertonian, who is saying all of the right things in the media, with the manager and squad on board. The fan base is divided because it has become a personal issue. I think it needs to come away from the personal and head towards what all fans can get behind.
My objective is simple: to find a buyer for Everton who can bring the good times and trophies back.
Will it take more work for Blue Union? — not in my opinion, they are excellent at generating publicity, so we change the publicity from Kenwright's faults, to what he wants — a Buyer.
They will not be seen as negative because they are doing something positive, we are finding him a buyer.

Blue Union are killing this club in the same way as BK - They both need to p--- O--

Isn't Paul McCartney a blue?
Maybe he'd be interested in buying?

Come on Paul - it should have been Lennon McCartney airport - but for an even better legacy in Liverpool why not buy the blues off Bill Notapenny - or if not - buy us a
new stadium and charge us 5 per cent interest on the cost - more than you'll be getting at the bank

We'll name a stand after you instead :)

Believable5 Unbelievable2

We could have Paul, John, George and Ringo Stands {Ed025's Note - to be honest..none of them have ever done much for the city..

Probably best with a 'Cilla Black' stand then! {Ed025's Note - that would really put a top hat on it!!

And plus ringo is a tit !

Yeah mate. I'm sure Sir Paul sits around on his lunch break reading evertonrumours.co.uk {Ed025's Note - he,s too busy counting his money..

And Bill could sit in the Ken Dodd Diddy Men Enclosure - special reserve seating area for those people who've paid nothing at all into the club - not even the price of their own seat (unlike the rest of us)

Bill Notapenny

Hes tighter than keshiyte

Very true, Ed. Also, I've always found Macca unbearably smug, particularly when he does that double-thumbs-up thing.

I just read that back and would like to clarify that there has never been an untoward relationship between myself and Paul McCartney.

Gary Hooper will sign for around 5m plus additional fees

Not hardly mate. Would be nice tho

Celtic wouldn't accept 5m. God forbid we offer it, he's not top 6 class in the slightest. We've waited 2 years for a striker and u really think he's gonna spaff all the dough on ex Scunny striker Gary flippin Hooper. Wobble ones head a little
