tomphil Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Seems a good move, someone who's actually qualified for the role can only be a good thing.
G Somerset Rover Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Everton fans speak very highly of him. Seems a fantastic appointment. What's going on?!
Backroom Tom Posted February 28, 2014 Author Backroom Posted February 28, 2014 He's spoke well of Rovers for some time and was on the India tour with sky sports in 2011, he possibly met the owners back then
rovers11 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Seems like another good appointment to the board. Add that to the new finance director and confirmation that Shebby will not be returning, things are looking up on and off the pitch. The days of us being run by agents or a global advisor are hopefully over forever.
Heinz Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 The reaction to this appointment by some Everton fans on Twitter is hilarious.
SoldierMo Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Sounds like an excellent choice....what was the reason he left everton??
JAL Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Who keeps recruiting these Evertonians Simon Conning ?

Ossydave Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Seems a great guy, replied to my tweets but reluctant to give an opinion on burnley till next week haha. Says he is keen to meet the fans etc
T.J.Newton Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Seems another good appointment, he is supposed to be very good at communicating with fans through twitter, this is his handle- @ALANMYERS1, that's 3 ex Everton staff members(that I know of) in prominent positions here now.
perthblue02 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I might be wrong but wasn't Alan Myers the sky sports reporter who rhymed off the reasons why steve kean should not be blamed for relegation when reporting live from Brockhall during the Paul Hunt fiasco? Edit : quick google search http://www.brfcs.com/mb/index.php/topic/27008-paul-hunt-sacked/page-7 post 126 Wonder if he will be up for a Q and A about sky sports conduct with regards to whats been and not been reported since the takeover and why as North West bureau cheif for Sky Sports News only one side of the story was allowed to be aired publically?

If that's the case he can go and get f###ed then.I probably feel as much hatred to the bstards who were part of team kean in the press as the three main protagonists themselves.
Backroom Tom Posted February 28, 2014 Author Backroom Posted February 28, 2014 I give it a week till he resigns citing burnout due to excess Chaddy!
Wing Wizard Windy Miller Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 He seems well liked by the Scousers - and hope he does very well for us....but if he tries justifying Kean in any way, shape or form then he'll be as welcome as Agnew.

Is it same bloke ? Disgrace if it is. . More stuff to wind the fans up
Leonard Venkhater Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 He seems well liked by the Scousers - and hope he does very well for us....but if he tries justifying Kean in any way, shape or form then he'll be as welcome as Agnew. Interesting this. He has a potentially tricky thing to negotiate here. He is going to have to distance himself from the whole Sky collusion thing, maybe including his own report from Brockhall. However, I do think he is savvy enough to say the right things and start to engage the fans. Also, I assume he has done his research to know just how odious the Sky lie Kean/ Anderson apologism is to Rovers fans.
ABBEY Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I give it a week till he resigns citing burnout due to excess Chaddy! Never mind chaddy if it same bloke I'm on it . Sticking up for kean unforgivable

Well remembered, by the way!
Backroom Tom Posted February 28, 2014 Author Backroom Posted February 28, 2014 It is the same Alan Myers but can't remember enough about the interview to comment It's amazing how many outsiders still see Kean as a victim of the owners incompetence I was just discussing it with some Scottish football fans this week
perthblue02 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Well remembered, by the way! The name rang a bell for two reasons, one that was the name of one of Devo's drummers whose now dead , but you never know with Venky's , and he also did a few of the transfer day dealines from Brockhall on SkyEm sports and I remember watching the Paul Hunt thing over the web and thinking how much is this costing the Barnet spiv keeping SKy onside, also had a quick look at the time to see if he did any "Agency " work after dinner speaking etc
ABBEY Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Looked on you tube only on phone tho can't find it.

Utd (or any other team, for that matter) week in, week out to see Moyes is up sh** creek without a paddle? Or perhaps we can formulate an opinion based on results, team selection and transfer history? We can't see what he is trying to do there That is what you say if you are a deluded Scott isn't it, applies to Scottish politicians as well
