Impossible for Everton board to return to Goodison Park - Phil McNulty
BBC Sport’s chief football writer Phil McNulty has suggested it’s “impossible” for the Everton board to return to Goodison Park.
The Toffees’ hierarchy have been told to stay away on security advice after threats were allegedly made to certain members of the board.
Writing for BBC Sport, McNulty believes the empty seats cannot remain unoccupied for long, but the current board members cannot be the ones who return.
“The empty seats in Goodison’s directors’ box cannot remain unoccupied but it is almost impossible to see a situation where the board can return, which is unsustainable,” he wrote (BBC Sport, 28 May).
Spot on
McNulty is spot on. The win over Bournemouth and Premier League survival shouldn’t be viewed as a victory for Everton. It should be viewed as the mess the current board have created. They have to move on and the quicker that happens the better.
