*Shakes head* Everton again.


Fugitive

I honestly think everton as a club are a decent outfit as regards social awareness and the like. They just havent moved with the times in a football way. They try their best to keep the club in the limelight despite being vastly overshadowed for nearly 60 years bar a few, by us.

 

The club is I think in the position we might have been in if Moores had tried to keep running the club as he was. What makes our position so good is we even had a couple of cowboys drag us down to lower than whale shit for a few years.

 

Ive just no time for many of their fans now. Their parochial outlook is utterly self defeating and regressive. In many other clubs' fans view, they are the 'decent scousers,' primarily because they never challenge for silverware so, arent a threat to those other fans' clubs.

 

If they did ever start challenging again, I think this 'decent scousers' tag would soon stop.

Ex-Everton striker Francis Jeffers sent vile Whatsapp texts to wife after seeing her with another man

The Blues youth coach lost his temper after seeing his estranged partner with another man

 

Former Everton and Arsenal striker Francis Jeffers told his estranged wife "her life was over" and she would end up "in a coffin," in a series of vile Whatsapp messages.
 

Jeffers, 38, who now works as a youth coach for Everton FC, lost his temper after seeing his ex-partner of 20 years, Lucy Jeffers, in the company of another man.
 

The pair, who had been married for 10 years, split up earlier this year and are in the process of finalising a divorce.
 

Jeffers, of Greenfinch Close, Croxteth, pleaded guilty to sending a grossly offensive message via a public communications network at Liverpool Magistrates' Court today.

Sophie Leyland, prosecuting, told the court: "The complainant is Lucy Jeffers, and the defendant is her ex-partner.

 

"They were in a relationship for approximately 20 years, and have been married for 10 years.

"The victim contacted police on June 1 reporting ongoing issues with the defendant, and part of the complaint was in relation to the break down in their relationship.
 

"On May 29 there were messages sent via WhatsApp to the victim making reference to the fact her life was over and referencing a coffin. The victim felt this was a threat to her life."

The court heard Mrs Jeffers had requested a restraining order keeping her soon-to-be ex-husband out of her home in Blundellsands and out of the city centre coffee shop Lucy in the Sky, which she owns.

Jeremy Hawthorn, defending Jeffers, said his client and Mrs Jeffers were in the process of agreeing a divorce in the Civil Courts and had been getting along well before the incident.

He told the court: "He is a man of hitherto good character. He has a sporting career as his main achievement and he passes on that experience to the next generation as a full time coach."

Mr Hawthorn said the couple were expecting a decree absolute on November 22.

He said: "At the end of May there was a bit of a break down, on one evening he sees her in the company of another man, and tempers that had probably been bubbling away and would have come to a head, erupts and he sends those messages that he regrets."

Mr Hawthorn said Jeffers was invited for a voluntary interview by Merseyside Police and admitted the offence, telling officers he regretted his actions.

He said there had been no further issues between the pair since the offence and the divorce was progressing via their solicitors.

Chair of the magistrates' bench, Peter Fisher, said: "You have pleaded guilty and not prevaricated with the court.

"As Mr Hawthorn has told us this is something you seemed to show remorse and regret about and it is hopefully something you can put behind you in the future."

Mr Fisher said the offence fell into Category 3 of the sentencing guidelines and was therefore punishable by a fine.

He also prohibited Jeffers from contacting his wife by any means, and from entering the grounds of her home and her coffee shop, under the terms of a 12 month restraining order.

Jeffers was fined £625 and ordered to pay £85 court costs and a £62 victim surcharge.

Mr Hawthorn told the bench: "This is quite a sizeable sum so would the court allow three months for payment?"

Mr Fisher agreed.

She contacted the police on 1 June 2019. Wonder what else was happening around that time to push him over the edge?

This may be the actions and misdemeanour of only one man; however, I'm going to choose to interpret it as proof that Everton FC and all Evertonians are criminal scum.

Maybe a controversial view, but I think having a fan as Chairman has held them back. Kenwright is too misty-eyed and optimistic to make the hard decisions that sometimes need making.

"Meis is a well-liked figure after getting a fucking tattoo, despite that being the only only thing he's done in the more than 3 years they've been paying him."

 

Fuck me, those slack-jawed dimwits are easily fobbed off.

Just to put into context how long it is since Everton won anything......

 

 

Wonderwall was released 24 years ago today. 

 

Please remind any blue mates. 

They don't live to win trophies, they live to watch Liverpool lose them.
