ONCE & FOR ALL, YOU "SO CALLED" BLUES FANS,GET OFF KENWRIGHTS CASE ! THE MAN DESERVES RESPECT......SHEDLOADS OF IT,NOT THE CRITICISM HE ALWAYS GETS ON HERE. HE HAS GENERALLY ALWAYS BEEN AS OPEN AS HE CAN BE WITH US SUPPORTERS,AND OBVIOUSLY HAS ONE HELL OF A WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH DAVID MOYES. HE HASN'T SWAPPED & CHANGED THINGS EVERY SEASON WHICH HAS AT LEAST ALLOWED MOYES TO NURTURE SOME GREAT YOUNG TALENT WHICH SHOULD COME TO THE FORE THIS COMING SEASON. I AGREE WITH MANY OTHERS ON HERE WHO DON'T WANT A VENKYS SITUATION,OR DIFFERENT OWNERS EVERY 3 MONTHS LIKE PORTSMOUTH.EVEN THE RED S**** ARE NOW IN TRANSITION WITH NO GUARANTEES THAT IT WILL ALL WORK OUT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. FOOTBALL IN GENERAL IS IN s**t STREET FINANCIALLY AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE STUPID WAGES THAT THE PLAYERS GET TODAY......FOR JUST KICKIN A BALL......OH PLEASE BILL KENWRIGHT HAS PERSONALLY BEEN TO HELL AND BACK FOR THIS CLUB OF OURS,SO TAKE A BIG STEP BACK AND STOP GOBBIN OFF......BECAUSE IF HE DOES JUST SELL UP TO ANYBODY BECAUSE OF THE FLACK HE GETS ON HERE,THEN WE WILL BE IN s**t ORDER AND IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP ! GIVE KENWRIGHT THE RESPECT HE FULLY DESERVES....NOW ! {Ed025's Note - very passionate mate, well shouted..

I see the BK fanclub is in the house again as usual !
He doesn't deserve respect! Respect is earned and he certainly hasn't earned any in my opinion. He treats the fans and shareholders with contempt but yet you stick up for him ?
I give respect to David Moyes who most certainly has earned that respect. He has managed the team superbly and acted professionally at every turn. He treats the players, fans and club with respect and loyalty.
So don't tell me to respect BK, I will respect who I want, and it will NEVER be him !

Kenwright is better than an awful lot of owners, and I for one am thankful we have him instead of some Joker, however being a blue and being loved should not be what people base their opinions of the man! If he wasn't a true blue how would peoples views on his running the club be! There have been numerous high profile financial calamities under his reign!!
Kurajan

Exactly kurajan - he got very lucky when he got moyes and when moyes got jelavic - he was in a hole
at the end of the day he bought for 30 mil - its now worth 150mil - and he puts nothing into the club - but he's sitting on a profit of 120mil

why does everton fans think that they are getting naismith because some people on twitter (one of the worst place for rumers) says so! Naismith is a Life long rangers fan and cant see him leaving after saying he want to stay for the rest of his career. if he does go then from a rangers fan he would set up Jelavic Nicley and the pair will score goals for fun! but would you stop poaching all our best players!
They always walk alone! {Ed025's Note - take it as a compliment mate. .you have some really good talent up there..

Looking at the Nike website £50 is quite reasonable, their other replica's are £60 and their authentic shirts are £90! Quite what the difference is beats me!.

Confirmed new Away kit:
http://m.evertonfc.com/awaykit201213/
What do you all think? I like it but really want 2 buy the home one this year, I normally always get the aways. I haven't seen this design leaked anywhere though so with abit of luck the home shirt won't be that terrible one with the big white bands of the sleeves!

Any dates for the home kits? The players were talking about it in the interview and said how nice it is, hibbo gave it away by talking about a kit and then saying "I also like the black and yellow one" I have seen a picture on twitter of Tim cahills tattoo with efc and behind that is a blue Chang sign on a dark blue top, third kit? It's always Tim Cahill to give it away!
Believable1

Maybe it is but if I remember rightly that's the interview he did when we got to the FA cup final. Think they made a big deal about it at the time! That might just be an old training top? Who knows!

Joe EFC

No chance he asked for number7 when he join so I think he will stay 7 an our new striker will take 9 jelavic picked 7 because it was the first ever number he wore back in is homeland antefc the real one

No, he only took 7 because Donovan was 9, he'd jump at number 9

Why can Ken Bates sell Leeds to an American investor? what Bill doing? {Ed025's Note - handstands i think...the way the team has performed..
Believable1
Unbelievable1
The grass isn't always greener on the other side as a few clubs have found out in recent years, i.e Blackburn, Villa, the RS in their first US takeover and many others.
I would love to see a genuine takeover at Everton with a real investor with real capital and a real desire to see our famous club do well. What I wouldn't like to see is what has happened with the examples given above where foreign so called investors have come in and the clubs have brassed themselves off to them only to then be used as cash cows to line the pockets of their so called investors.
It wasn't that long ago a lot of Toffee's were singing the praises of a certain Peter 'Park Hampers' Johnson and look where that took us; to the verge of liquidation and back.
Most posters on this site say they trust Moyes, as I do too, but he's only one half of the act that's kept us where we are today. The other half is Kenwright who gets a lot of stick on these pages but I think has the best interests of the club at heart and will not let us get sold down the river like so many other clubs.
Give it time and it will happen, but for the time being let Moyes and Kenwright get on with it and take us to the next level where we truly belong.

Can't see pineaar staying at Spurs, he has his heart set on Everton, and is starting to make little noises to Spurs about that. I reckon 4-5mil will be enough, imagine Spurs would want him off there books as he is on a big wage, and they would want the money to spend on other targets. Come home Stevie P.

Don'y you remember the grey kit that manu had that fergie said was a nightmare cos players could not see each other against crowd - I just think black might be similar - I don't think it's a coincidence that certain colours like red (spit) seem to have an advantage - still dont let something like a playing disadvantage put you off from criticising a reasonable point

nothing would give me more pleasure than watching us battle for a CL spot. The last time was my first season as an Evertonian, and while we haven't reached those heights gain, we've never really been truly gash for an entire season since I've been a fan, so I count myself lucky.

Could'nt care less about Reading, or any other club for that matter. We have a lot of positivity about the club now, and Bill Kenwright, having been given tons of stick in the past deserves credit for this. He has a great working relatioship with David Moyes, which is based on mutual trust. People should get off his back and give him the breathing space to move the club forward.

Hi fellow Evertonians it's great to be excited about Evertons chances next season. I believe that we are only 3-4 good signs away from having a team capable of push for European football next season maybe champions league !
I think if David Moyes gets 10-15 mil he can achieve this.
Signed no.1 Pienaar 4-5 mil no.2 Jnr Howleitt free no. 3 Nasmith 2-3 mil no. 4 Clyne rb from palace free and maybe a a back up striker 5-6 mil Europe hear we come !!
