    The Phoenix got a reaction from Wiggytop in Board/Owners Related Stuff   
    Condolences to the family and friends of our chairman Bill Kenwright. Football pales into insignificance during these moments, now is the time to remember him and honour him. He was a product of Liverpool and it’s values, he loved our city, its people and our club. May he rest in peace

    We need to be honest and forthright about how well Frank is doing. Yes he managed to create a synergy between our boys on the pitch and us which helped last season. For that we’re forever indebted to him but in all seriousness should we be focusing on the shitness of other teams giving him breathing space to get things right eventually. We’re 2 games in to season of unknown challenges thanks to the World Cup. Results are important now, the confidence of the team and the mental health of us supporters need it

    Let’s not spend time bickering amongst ourselves over what we say/how we say things. As sure as night follows day Kenwright is full of shite, he’s more into massaging his ego than doing what is right for the club. We need unity with all factions, we need to cut the head off the poisonous snake. If this wankstain continues to be involved we don’t need to worry about the championship next year cause we’ll be in league 1 the year after.

    Some people seem to think protesting is a kopite thing and that we get kudos for being dignified…. 
     
    there is no dignity in getting lied to, being presented with substandard levels of performance and behaving like you are in love with the club so much you will clap the troubles away. 
     
    Bill by all accounts is very thin skinned when it comes to criticism, he’s had the local hacks and his media chums defend him for a long time now. I think that is coming to an end, it’s beyond embarrassing what we have become.
    we used to laugh at Liverpool for blowing millions and not winning the league…. We’ve blown millions and almost got relegated

    We need them in 2 weeks ago not in the next 2 weeks. This season scares me because of the unknown factor of having a World Cup in November. Games will come thick and fast so how much time will the coaching staff have to work on tactics etc etc. Doshiri needs to strengthen us asap because if a deal takes time we won’t have a transfer window left to work in

    That seems like a positive step. Look at how other clubs like Chelsea, the red shite and City recruit to their academies in this league as do clubs on the continent. If we invest in youth, give them a pathway into our first team or into becoming professional footballers at a different club matching their abilities it can either a) save us millions in transfers or b) be a lucrative investment stream we’re missing out on. As much as it may sicken us we need to look across the park and adopt some of their proven practices cause currently we’re a club marooned in the 20th century in regards to maximising our income streams and marketing strategies

    The Phoenix got a reaction from Romey 1878 in Longest Thread! for Everton Discussion   
    Fuck me that’s a depressing read. The ineptitude of “the powers that be” who make decisions for our club knows no bounds. We make up one half of a vibrant, inclusive, energised city and as per usual the dumb fucks in charge neglect to take any opportunity to place our club front and centre. I travel regularly through John Lennon Airport (as I live away) and never realised there was no Everton merch on sale (I buy online or when I come home). It’s a absolute disgrace in this modern age

    Agreed, if we can box off the midfield we’ll be more solid defensively which I turn will give us more confidence going forward.

    My view is that a good midfield makes your defenders and your attackers better.

    The Phoenix got a reaction from Heath in Frank Lampard   
    I’ll start by saying I’m sorry for being negative but here goes. I am grateful that Frank has come in and pulled us back from falling into oblivion but as far as I am concerned the jury is still out. I understand he came in late and inherited a squad after the transfer window closed which was no easy task. He’ll have a full pre season to plan now so I have questions. 

    1: Does Frank have a clear idea about what our football identity will be? We’ve been disjointed and confused for far to long following the manager merry go round. We need focus, direction
    2: Which of our existing players fit into that identify and can we keep them?
    3: What will his recruitment approach be to fit his vision but also work with in the budget we have (I am worried FFP will be a stick to beat us with and the FA will be sniffing around)
    4: Will he make the hard decisions and move on players who just aren’t good enough or are to old? This is not the time for sentiment
    5: Will he have the tenacity to stand up to the owners when the decide to interfere as usual
    Like I said sorry for being negative but I for one will feels a little more trusting when these things are answered

    And again, I'm sure almost every other team in the league would say the same.
    It's not a refereeing conspiracy against us, it's just shit refs across the board. That's all.

    I get you, I’m just getting tired of all the shite talk that’s going on and us not going full tilt at the real problem. We’ve been riding our luck as a club for far to long now and it’s coming home to roost. Bad decisions aren’t helping our fight for safety but these fuckers in charge have been incompetent since day one. Luck shouldn’t be that big of an influence and the fact that it is says it all. We should be top 6 with what they’ve spent but instead were wallowing in mediocrity, relegation threatened and financially fucked

    Sounds like someone’s blowing smoke up your arse dude. If he felt any of that stuff you can guarantee he wouldn’t be saying that to anyone. He’s partial to an occasional mistake but he’s one of the only decent ones out there. Plus it’s a World Cup year so he’s not going to risk his chances with a fuck up like that

    The board need to be held accountable for the shit show that’s happened under their watch. Dumbfuck decisions year on year, spending freely (and stupidly) with no concrete plan in place. Where we go from here is anybodies guess but we just need to get these fuckers to be honest and transparent when facing questions. You can guarantee if their other business interests were run this way heads would roll

    People wrote us off against Chelsea and look what we did in that game, United as well. Arsenal could turn up and play amazing football or they could stink their gaff out. It’s a coin toss but if we bring our A game we could be to much for them
