Information from the blue union.

The Blue Union met with representatives from Merseyside Police this afternoon and have been given the green light to stage a peaceful protest march prior to Saturday’s game at Goodison Park against Aston Villa.
We will be congregating on the council ground on Spellow Lane, fifty yards behind the Everton One megastore, at 14:00pm with a view to marching down Goodison Road to the directors entrance shortly afterwards.
The Blue Union’s passion for the club and for the team simply cannot be brought into question despite the best efforts of our detractors. We totally subscribe to the view of giving our full support to the players and to the manager and we urge all Evertonians to cheer our team on to victory.
Everyone who is part of The Blue Union continues to support the team and the manager, but we oppose stagnation and we promote the concept that it’s time for a change.

The aim of The Blue Union is simple, it’s not to get Bill Kenwright out, it’s certainly not some mindless attempt to sack the board; its aim is to promote the concept of allowing the CEO to be left to concentrate on reducing costs, developing our revenue streams and repairing the relationship with the fanbase whilst leaving the board to appoint a fully autonomous group of professional individuals who can effectively develop and implement a strategy that will identify and sell the club to a buyer who can demonstrate an ability and a genuine desire to take the club forward on both a commercial and football level. The Blue Union will be publishing an open letter to Mr Kenwright in the coming days.
It is imperative to stress that our protest will be a peaceful one; and anyone who intends on compromising the credibility of the protest is simply not welcome.

The Evertonians in attendance at The Blue Union’s public meeting demonstrated that they will no longer accept the stagnation of the club and are ready and willing to rise as one.
It’s time for change. It’s time for protest. {Ed025's Note - ill see you there mate..

How is gobs**te Derek Hatton involved in all this? Wouldn't go anywhere anything involving that guy.

Lets hope the new lads don't see all this. They'll wonder what they've walked into!

Is el hadj diouf out of contract ed trainin with Preston I know he a **** but knows where net is just a thought {Ed003's Note - Blackburn released him and apparentley Preston have offered him the opportunity to train with them}

The lad is trouble,moyes won't touch him with a barge pole, we will get someone decent in January

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - if we sign him....i will not go to any games he is involved in!...i feel that strong..

Knows where the net is? His scoring record is terrible!

I can't believe that you would even discuss Diouf and Everton. We are class and he is a dog. End of. (Wavertree Blue)

Oh come arn! - it's El Hadj himself posting the first commment here isn't it! trying to find himself a club. He's probably done the same thing on all the rumour sites.
Fk off yu 'orrid git - no one wants you and definitely not us! {Ed007's Note - Let's hope you are right with the first part and nobody wants him.}

'When my agent told me I could sign for Everton I was like 'Thank You God'...

Quote from Royston Drenthe on SSN.

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - was it when we signed...brett angel??

think people on here need to start supporting all the players still at everton, we aint got many in the 25 man squad so every player needs our backing, good luck to mikel arteta too as he was 1 of the best players to play for our club in recent years, hope we get lucky with injurys and hope rodwell kicks on now and fulfills the promise he shown when he was young, with a bit of luck we might have a good season as our squad maybe small but theres alot of quality in there, come on the blue boys
school of science {Ed025's Note - i think we will all get behind the team...if we are one thing...its loyal...and i second the sentiment on arteta, he has been a great servant to the club..

Surely jp mcmanus or 'his people' must of heard the rumours going around that hes buying everton!? Cant he just come out and say " its not true" that will put an end to it all and we can get back to supporting our club instead of reading gossip and lies!

3 home games in a row! 2 prem 1 cup, we win them all and the confidence levels will be sky high who know where that could take us! COYB!

so in this transfer window we have brought in 2 signings both on loan so no fee, and we have barkley and vellios who will be expected to step up.
we have let go
arteta £10m 75k p/w
beckford £3.5/4m 30k p/w
yakubu £4m 50k p/w
yobo (loan) 50k p/w

so thats almost £18m recieved and around 200k p/w off the wage bill (we would have saved over £3m in wages by january transfer window) so i think moyes will be allowed to sign 1 or 2 players even if its just on loan.
daniel sturridge
nedem onuhor
macheda
they are just some of the players that wont get a sniff in their teams and i think would jump at the chance to play for everton (first team football) in january.

We definitely need another striker in January as we have saha who is great but injury prone and denis and velios look good but have to find their feet in the prem and anichebe well he just doesn't have the ability at this level. Sturridge would be fantastic as a half season loan in January. I would go as far to say if we are top 8 in January and we get him i would strongly fancy us for a european place.

Bez the blue

What your not taking into account- loans are almost never free... there will be some sort of fee- as well as wages which you havent added. when we send a player on a loan (sometimes even when we sell them) often wages are subsidised which we dont know about at the moment... and the final big one that you have not included- the majority if not all of savings and funds raised through sales will already be gone to keep the bankers happy

Knock £2m off the Yak price, and 10k a week of Yobo's wage too. Plus the above is also correct. The Argy club would not let there star striker go out on loan for free and i imagine Drenthe is on a pretty penny, Real arent really tight when it comes to wages.

Also, if you sell 18m worth of players, you don't see 18m of that, it gets taxed, so you see about 14m of it. that's why Arsenal fans are so furious over the Cesc deal, we will only see about 20m for it.
