cRSipy, I don't think this article is off on a tangent, but in case you feel it is, why don't you read my last few posts and comment on your suggested voting options and my responses?

"85% Of Everton Fans Don't Trust The Board"
Should read:
"85% Of the 678 Everton Fans asked a limited yes or no question, don't Trust The Board, although they may have preferred to expand on their answers"
I know, not as catchy.

To be fair you of course are right that the title may have been misleading although in my defence I didn't try and hide anything in the article
Concerened, I didn't say you mentioned INTERIM board. It's one of the options in cRSipy's original article post.
Your point also seems to be changing.
And I haven't I've mentioned other clubs. Feel free to be a pedant and scour my previous posts to when I have mentioned them in the past though, I'd hate for you to not have a comeback.
You're also avoiding answering my points.
Burgarbuns you say this
Difficult here because no, I don't trust them entirely, but at the same time, I know they're not going to sell us out to any old bunch. Could they have made better decisions in the past yes, of course they could have, but that doesn't mean they've deliberately put the club in this situation. Poor management decisionsdoesn't mean they're all crooks as you suggest.
WHERE DID I SUGGEST THEY'RE ALL CROOKS ?
and how do you know they're not going to sell us out to any old bunch.
I'd imagine they will just sell to the highest bidder so what is the point of holding on.

Can't sell if nobody wants to buy
Just so we're clear here, you're going to ignore my valid questions and instead, go with "WHERE DID I SUGGEST THEY'RE ALL CROOKS ?" and ask how do I "know they're not going to sell us out to any old bunch"
You've always implied the board have stiffed us from day one.
You've always implied they have lied to us.
You've always said you don't trust them.
Just because I used the word crook, where you may not have, stop pathetically trying to twist things.
And I don't KNOW they won't sell to any old bunch, but I do KNOW that haven't sold us, despite there having been some interest. No, we don't know how far that interest went. No we don't know how much they were asking for.
Now, as you're so predictable, this is where you say "yeah but has there been any interest" and "prove there have been prospective buyers in the room".
And now this is where you say that I'm a predictable apologist.
Do you see what I'm getting at?

85% Of Everton Fans Don't Trust The Board
===
Is this from the total fan base, the stay at home husbands, loyal locals or out of towners?
I am confused by all these figures!
As Mark Twain once said 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.'
The idea of an interim board is total nonsense. It's based on the fact that Broughton found a buyer for the RS, but totally ignores the fact that he was appointed by RBS to dispose of the club, not the owners.
The idea that major shareholders of a business would in essence hand over their asset to some unspecified new board, to dispose of it at their behest & that they somehow do this willingly, is a 'la la land' suggestion.
I wonder how many of these calling for a interim board would let someone else control the sale of their house? Also would you be willing to pay for the privlidge?
PJS, playing devil's advocate here, but isn't that what an estate agent does?
YEEESSSSSSSSSSSS
Let's get RightMove to sell us
You tell your estate agent the terms of sale.
let someone else control the sale of their house

Never used estate agent as this would have bene the reply. Even with an estate agent, you are still not forced to sell at the price offered. Same with an interim board!

Do you trust the current owner(s) of Everton FC?

(15%, 100 Votes) YES
i thought everton had more than 678 fans.....
Did you know that 75.8% of statistics are made up on the spot?
Some were asked twice so these figures aren't 100% accurate.

That would equate to nearly 6:1 against. Taking an average gate of 35,000 that would mean 5,500 are against BK. WOW, they really are vocal at games
'Some were asked twice so these figures aren't 100% accurate.'
Reminds me of my favourite quote from the Naked Gun: 'The doctor says his chances are 50/50, and there's only a 70/30 chance of that.'
