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 !

Agree0 Disagree0

This person can't express his views or opinions in a calm, reasonable and respectful manner

Agree0 Disagree0

This is an excellent post and nice to see people supporting it.........grbefc

Agree0 Disagree0

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

Agree0 Disagree0

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

Agree0 Disagree0

30 May 2012 23:40:10
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..

So you think we will sell potentially the next Steven Gerrard(sorry 4 comparing them but thats whats been said) for 10m and just for debts, no i dont think so!

You have us selling our brightest young star for pittance then taking him back on loan but not putting him in the first team squad!! Makes an awful lot of sense!! You should've applied for the red s.... Job

Away Kit for those who haven't looked.

I love it, thoughts?

Believable7 Unbelievable0

I love it aswell except for the £50! price tag!

Agree0 Disagree0

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!

Believable0 Unbelievable1

30 May 2012 22:06:50
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 Unbelievable0

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!

Does anyone know if Jelavic is gonna get a different shirt number (such as number 9) because i really want to get him on my new away shirt and i want to make sure.
Blue kaz {Ed025's Note - dont know kaz..sorry mate..

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Wait until the new season thats what Im doing because ive heard he may change to 9
Joe EFC

Agree0 Disagree0

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

Agree0 Disagree0

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

Agree0 Disagree0

30 May 2012 21:24:01
Hey ed the new away kits can be pre ordered with pienaar and Donovan on the back but not drenthe or straculasi! Could it be that we are getting them both or is it simply a mistake? What do you think? {Ed025's Note - i think it bodes well mate..

Just seen the new away kit come out then, looks class, but also noticed when I clicked on the pre-order now thing on the everton direct website that you can order the shirt with Pienaar and Donovan on the back, but not Stracqualursi or Drenthe, looking good for those two to be signed permanently ? :D ..

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.

Paddy the Greek {Ed025's Note - enjoyed reading that paddy..well done

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.

Tricky trev

In keeping with club tradition too

30 May 2012 20:23:18
not sure about the away kit - you want your players to stand out from the background don't you? I'd like to see some yellow 'flashes' in the blank areas - to make it stand out more - and if it was done well it would look cool

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Stop moaning, it's the best kit we've had in 10 years {Ed025's Note - we will get the yellow flashes...when peanuts and jelly are racing past defenders..

Agree0 Disagree0

So you would prefer pink would you mate?

Agree0 Disagree0

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

Agree0 Disagree0

It is nearly the same as barcas kit from last season, dont think they had any problems seeing the other players.ewefc

I say this every bloody season but if we hit the ground running and build up some consistency in the earlier parts of the season then there is nothing stopping us from finishing much higher then 7th. {Ed025's Note - i agree mate..

Believable3 Unbelievable0

30 May 2012 19:15:41
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.
Are you confident of top 6 ed, or even better?? {Ed025's Note - with a couple of good signings mate, i really believe top 6 is a possibility, top 4 would be very difficult...but not impossible..

Believable3 Unbelievable0

30 May 2012 19:12:03
Could barkley play on the right wing ed??

Bez the blue {Ed025's Note - i dont see why not bez...he is not lightning quick, but certainly has the skill..

Believable2 Unbelievable0

30 May 2012 19:08:19
Barkley should be given an opportunity in the cahill role, and Felli is one of the best defensive mids in the game and he should stay further back next to gibson rather than further forward. ED your view??

Ste EFC {Ed025's Note - i like him more forward ste...i agree with barkley getting more game time though, as a partner for gibbo..

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Felli gives to many fouls away so keep him upfront . ed025's Note - i do like him playing further forward..

Reading have been given £15m by their new Russian owners to help strengthen the squad.

When will it be our turn ?!?!?!?

KENWRIGHT - JUST DO ONE !!!

Believable10 Unbelievable5

Stop moaning will you

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh, kenwright do one, we get new owners maybe yanks who dont know anything about football or even better chicken farmers.

Real world now

We have a great team and a couple of additions will make it awesome

The grass isnt always greener, Blackburn, Pompey, Birmingham etc etc

Agree0 Disagree0

He bought the club for 30mil - it's now worth about 150mil - it wouldn't hurt him to lash in another 20 mil - cos that 20 could well see us qualify for champs league the way we were playing since jelly arrived - go on bill - you may never get this close again :)

Never mind rovers,pompey,rangers what about MANCHESTER CITY! it was only a few years ago they werent even in the EPL,look at them now!

The 2012/13 Everton away kit will be revealed later today.

The strip will be the first Everton kit to be released in conjunction with new technical partner Nike and will be unveiled at 8pm on evertonfc.com.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

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.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 May 2012 13:15:25
just been reading an interview with leighton baines he say he is'' flattered to be link with man utd as they are a great club but i am at a great club and one i love''. so while there are lots of rumours linking him with a move if he loves it at everton why leave?..........grbefc

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 !!
