ToffeeWeb - Season 2009-10

The Mail Bag

Business Evertonians

Last August, I put an idea to Bill Kenwright. He responsded and I got invited to Goodison to discuss the idea.

I am looking to share ideas with business-type Everton fans who would like to look at how we can share our off-the-field talents and experience to help our Club. Can any one who has business or commercial experience please let ToffeeWeb know directly, detailing who you are and what you do.

Due to possible commercial sensitivity, you will understand that all details of what is being proposed cannot be made public and only shared with a small number of people at this time.

If you have a genuine interest in this, please get in touch direct with Michael or Lyndon at ToffeeWeb Towers. <>P> I met Everton last year to discuss the proposals and I have guaranteed to keep them confidential to give them first refusal. The proposals are still valid and I would like to share them in complete commercial confidence with some fellow fans, with only the Club's interests at heart. I've given them a season to consider, so I would now like to share the proposals with some genuine business fans.

Sorry to be so vague, but unless I know who you are and your genuine "Evertonness", I can't say more.

ToffeeWeb can send me your contact details so I can forward further information to your business email address (only).

Thanks for reading this.

Good lad, Tony... It's people like yourself who should be on the Board at Everton, not the shower of muppets we have at the moment.

Hope you`ve got plenty of patience, Tony! You`ll certainly need it.

Tony; More power to your elbow and the best of luck.

One suggestion:

If you are not already aware of them, there are two “interest groups” of Everton fans on Linkedin (“Everton Fans In Business” and “Toffees In Business”). You might want to publicise your initiative to them.

Ooops... my bad. Think I caught and fixed them all now.

Forwarded quite a few e.mails with interest expressed... best of luck with that venture, Tony.

Michael - "responsded."

Tony - Thanks for the links. EFC liked the idea enough to invite me down. And there have been a few interesting emails directly off TW already, with encouraging comments from those who have read more details of the proposal.

Richard - there's no rush so long as we get it right.

Colin - I would not be a politican, and I would not thank you for the thankless task of running a football club. But thanks for thinking I could.
