Everton

[The Erectile Banana]

What are you trying to say?

I think he's referring to the Hodgson effect.

[PTP]

Have they ****

thats what everyone saud - talksport were flabbergasted with the claim - this guy was calling these so called two billionaires everything under the sun

[Fivex]

Any idea who they're meant to be?

Bill Kenwright
Philip Carter
Keith Wyness
Robert Earl
Jon Woods

I had one telling me a while ago that the Greggs fella who left a few years ago was a billionaire, but even that doesn't seem right.

[PTP]

not sure - he said one of them was the owner of planet hollywood and was mates with Sylvester Stallone hence why he went there for game

[Fivex]

That's Earl by the looks of it

He was told to invest by Philip Green, the billionaire owner of BHS, who has no formal involvement with them but helps Kenwright out a fair bit by the looks of things..

And this might explain why they're suddenly in the ****, from Jan 2009 he's been saying he'll not bankroll them:

A spokesman for Earl said he had contributed financially by providing personal guarantees so that Everton could extend their bank borrowings and sign new players. He does not, the spokesman said, intend to put further money in until Everton are in a new stadium, when the club could be in a position to attract further investment.

another guy called up saying that everton have two billionaires on the board who havent' spent a penny???

thats it tho - if they call us deluded because we want to challenge for the league and finish in the top 4 which they believe we are miles off.....What are they expecting for themselves....because they can't compete with the likes of sunderland or stoke or villa or even newcastle - they're level is to keep their head above water through hard work and graft and try and be like fulham or birmingham - so what are they expecting - they will survive, but they are so far off top 8 that 9th or 10th would be a success for them - and they still could get that, and they are going ballistic at the moment

I love the way they throw how much money we have spent and players we have signed, and then in the same arguement try and say we aren't a big club - well look knobheads, you can't have it both ways - you can't be a small club spending money, and you cna't be a big club with out spending money - granted some of our money may not be spent wisely and some is but they fail to understand that to get that money you need to be globally followed which we are....

In the same sentance they will say we aren't a big club....then criticise us because we have fans from norway??? well of course we do, we have have fans in liverpool, london, cardiff, dublin and then places like norway, sweden, poland, russia, australia, china, japan - are we supposed to be ashamed and embarresed about that or something??? lol - i don't get it...

I want them to go down, it would be funny as ****. To be honest I've grown to hate the derby games. I used to love them, but the atmosphere is poisonous and their fans are absolute cunts. I wouldn't miss it - not for a year or two anyway.

BITTERS DOWN!

Very much my thoughts too, the derby games are horrible nowadays and that's both in terms of on the field and off it. As someone else said, a promoted side would be an easier 6 points.

Funny as ****? YES
Easy 6 points? (see Blackpool)

Bollocks, we'd have beaten blackpool twice if Kenny was in charge from the summer.

[Cormack74]

They'd be a championship club now if it wasn't for Hans Segers and his brown envelopes.

That was certainly a very strange game.
