The Mail Bag

Oh, woe is me...

...give me a fuckin rope!

By Christ, what a whingeing load of doomongers follow our club. Day after day, drivel after even more drivel... the club's a disgrace, Kirkby is a woolyland shithole, Kenwright is in it for himself, Wyness is a liar, don't sell Beattie, Nugent was the new Dixie, we can't sign anyone... And the moans go on and on and on.

Can't people see whats happening? It really isn't rocket science. EFC have no money, they borrow money against future earnings which they did last season and bought Johnson and Lescott. They gambled and got European football, it means they don't have much money for this season. However, the team is still the same but one year more experienced, therefore stronger.

Most of the players we've 'lost' out on were overpriced, other teams are spending out of their skin just to catch us up and not one of them has made a significant buy which would make them a better team than us.

Beattie ain't cutting the mustard and £4M would be a good deal if he goes. Nugent has potential but is not worth £6M. As for BK & Bully, they're striving to give EFC a chance to compete at the very top, not just for 5th/6th place. So what if they make a killing and sell us once the stadium deal is done, isn't that what you've wanted all along?!

Because, if they sell and make a tidy profit, it will mean the club gets the big investor we all crave! I hope it's Gadaffi just to piss off the self-righteous Tesco haters. Anyway, I've found the rope, but I'll start skipping instead of 'anging meself, coz I've just remembered theres a footie season about to descend on us. Bet all you doomongers forgot that, didn't ya!

Well said Tommy

I for one agree, a move is essential and all this EFC-board hating is sounding more and more like propaganda from the KEIOC

I for one agree with Tommy, couldn’t have said it better myself..
Come on lads we’re all Evertonians and ofcourse we want the best for our beloved club but its not all as bad as some people make out.. Look at where we were 6 years ago - year after year of flighting agaist the drop - now we are flighting for europe most seasons.. I think we have a very strong team ok short on numbers but our 1st 11 can give any of the so called top 4 a run for their money..
I for one believe in DM and BK - look what they’ve done for us thus far - and I for one I’m gald we have not spent over the odds for average players - Look at what happened to Leeds

Once a blue always a blue - lets stick together and I will be cheering as loud as possible 1st game of the season to get behind the boys !!!!!!

Tommy,

If a major investor showed an interest in Everton in the next week, before the ballot, but indicated that he would prefer to keep the club in the City, rather than Kirkby.

Which way would you vote?

Careful now Tommy that’s two crimes you’ve committed. Firstly you’re not meant to be positive about Everton as that is ’soooooo last year sweetie’ and secondly whatever you do don’t knock the the negative ninnies who seem to be rallying to the generally negative journalistic tendency of the site where bad news is trumpeted from the rooftops; positive news is treated with derision and suspicion and positive posting is derided as naive. Well done and keep up the good work

Barry or is that Camp Freddy? Your methods of lowering the tone and sarcasm does only yourself a disservice if you have an argument make it and don’t just start spouting limp wristed phrases and starting handbag fights.

Tommy, your spot on mate with your comments, why is it some people absolutely rejoice slagging the club off all the time?

Whether it’s the manager, chief executive or chairman, whatever positive things happen to EFC it’s never enough.

Barry try asking my homosexual and lesbian friends shall we? Oh and if that’s too much to question I’m also married with a son, isn’t it strange when your argument fall flat on it’s arse again or is arse homophobic too?

Tommy - you are wrong! We negative chaps are all blues as well you know. Some of us actually care for the club and the fact that we have won nothing for over a decade!

If the club gambled successfully on buying players then why don’t we take the next gamble and try to buy players who will take us into the top four? Simple. Kenwright has not got a bean to play with and wants the Kirby move so he can sell off at a profit. You wait and see.

As for players being overpriced - this is the market we have now. You would not say I am not buying a house to live in because houses are running at a figure in excess of percentage wage increases for the last ten years. ’Huge’ clubs like Portsmouth and Fulham have been more active than us but then again they have got an injection of funds from investors which Kenwright will never allow to happen to us (his train set and all that).

The fact is we have been here before and failed miserably. This time we might last longer but our painfully thin squad will suffer when we get injuries.

So Tommy, my fellow blue, when you next criticise fellow Evertonians, remember that we all want the best for the club...except for you pro Kenwright mugs!

Why would somebody accused of homophobia feel the need to mention their gay & lesbian friends? Isn’t it similar to the racist who claims he has loads of ’coloured’ mates

Clarence for the same reason I had to argue the toss with another idiot on these mail pages that played the racist card, funny how lots of postings hide behind nicknames or half their name, what have they to hide? I can only guess it’s summer and school is closed hence the new influx of posters or they failed the Big Brother auditions and desperately need to find someone to pay them some attention.

Now boys.. I wasn’t nasty was I? you are whingers n whiners aren’t you.. Your the same lot who woudn’t move to the KingsDock (more like the Kings clothes now), and I ain’t a BK apologist, he’s mishandled the club since he arrived and I believe he’s mismanaging the situation now re: the vote.. Coz I wouldn’t have given us one, the board should have stated we’re moving and thats it.. He ain’t done that so we have all the arguments and hand wringing... However, what he has delivered is the finest deal you could get for a company without a pot to piss in, BK has managed to broker a deal with a giant retailer currently striving for retail dominance both home & abroad who not only will build us a stadium, but wil let us keep profits (less a margin I’m sure) from the new site and in the process we help regenerate a run down area of Liverpool..I’ve said it before..Tesco do not back losers! (and it’s got nowt to do with Leahy, the shareholders decide the investment, he’s there to manage it).. As for the question whether I’d rather stay in the inner city / GP, of course I’d stay if someone offered as good a deal as Tesco/Knowsley, it would be a no brainer!! but there isn’t any other viable option is there, no sugar daddy, no council willing to help, not one other single solitary plan from anybody..except of course Tesco/Knowsley which is really a no brainer.. Now, you and all the other whingers, find yer route map for Prenton Park or wherever else you want to watch your football.. you won’t be missed.. (Just a little aside boys, how come the NO’s say they won’t watch EFC in Kirkby, yet the Yes’s haven’t said they wouldn’t watch EFC if we stayed or relocated somewhere else,just who are the loyal supporters then)?
