Yes, we have brought some much needed perspective into the grounds!
You should be telling people to stop. If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
I'm a working class woman so I don't know what that's got to do with anything unless you're implying that they don't know any better. 

I don't really believe they do want change. They have been warned to improve their practice after every administration but they just continue to duck things up.
That's because it's a club of members protecting members' interests without any independent arbitration. 
They can bang on about processes and LAPS as much as they want but at the end of the day these are appointed by them and if they don't like the results they just plough on until they find a panel that agrees with them. 
It's all corrupt and needs calling out as such.

Everton board , having a special meeting tonight. Rafa looks like a dead man walking. You can bet what’s coming.

I went for 'Excellent' because this boring old realist is starting to believe in fairy tales.

Nah, we could have easily gone down not showing any fight, just accepting relegation as an inevitability feeling sorry for ourselves.
Against the odds he helped convince some aging players to join us in the summer for peanuts and blooded some youngsters into a team that gives 100% week in, week out.  
The day after he says the preferred buyer is due to be announced, the EFL shaft us, a key defender leaves, we receive a bid on a midfielder and know that others will have to be sold to ensure we even have a club in February.  Yet the players still give 100% and we climb off the bottom of the league for the first time. 
It would be easy to walk away, get another job where he has a squad to work with a backing to improve it.  We we're odds on to sink into Division 1 this season without putting up a fight - Rooney's motivation and ability would have been questioned regardless and his next job would not have been an attractive one. 
As it happens Wayne Rooney *is* the club atm, he is leading us on and off the pitch and given everyone the belief that we can still achieve the impossible.  Yes he had everything to gain, but he also had a lot to lose as well.  Walking away would have at least given him a blank slate, instead he'll probably get the Everton job. 
 
 

What a team we have. I would love to see the data from all those sports bras and see the difference between a couple of seasons back and now.
These men; they are men - not boys not lads, they leave everything on the pitch, every game. I am so proud to be part of this magnificent quest we are on. The EFL haven’t an ounce of sportsmanship in their twisted, regressive, genetically flawed DNA. I hope for justice now but it’s a faint hope, but I know for certain that this team will be remembered. Our newly promoted midfield general is 19 years old  has tenacity, drive, maturity and determination far beyond his years. Our club Captain, in the late autumn of his career, is playing football of the highest order game after game. Our team Captain has transformed from being troubled and petulant into the fine skilled footballer we always hoped he could be. 
 
Anyway, hyperbole aside .. what a cracking day. Tight game but we played proper football, kept them at bay and did the goal scoring thing pretty damned well.
Joz was ok but Fozzy made a difference winning headers and Colin just doesn’t tolerate bullies does he !
10/10 for every player, Pointless singling out anyone in what is a real team; but can someone explain why wrapping your arms round an opponent or two handed  pushes within 2 yards of a well placed assistant referee is allowable ? I saw one or the other on 5 occasions. 
 
Fight to the end, I love this team, it’s special and a certain chubby scouser needs credit for sticking it together with glue and sawdust ( extra sawdust from tree felling work available next week I hope ) 
 
 

Don't try and defend the indefensible. There is NO excuse for singing that chant, none.

I’ve had enough, I’ve sat silently and patiently, foolishly hoping after the points deduction that this was a clean slate. 
It’s clear that the EFL have a vendetta against this club and this latest move to block the preferred bidder needs highlighting and discussing from the highest media platforms and people of influence across the country. 
As a fan base, chanting in the stadium simply isn’t enough anymore. We need to put real, sustained pressure on the EFL in the form of media exposure and noise. 
Small steps lead to big things, the future of our football club is at stake, let’s not let it die without a fight! 
Ive emailed just about every news outlet there is. If you have any positive action you’ve done, post below so we can keep track and build momentum. 

Remember all those times you have trekked across country, on cold, wet winter nights?  Not for the glory.  Not for entertainment.  Not even out of duty, or loyalty.  But "just in case" something special happened?  To witness it.  To be there.
We've all been there, and many of us have lost count of such times.
Add them all up, and multiply by a thousand, because this could be the biggest day in the club's 138 year history.  It might not be... but it might be.  Tomorrow could prove to be very different to any other day any of us have ever witnessed.
Treat it as such... "Just in case"!

...true but I feel like I've been punched in the goolies today by a bloke with a perm and a Boro accent.

I'm up for that.
Truth is, today doesn't appear to be a particularly good day, as I sit here catching up on the latest news, statements, and gossip.  My stomach is actually churning, and for the first time throughout this whole shittisode, I actually fear the worst.  I actually fear that tomorrow could be the last time I see my beloved club, in the flesh.
I strongly suspect we'll get the backing of the SE Corner too.  We're all football fans, ain't we!
Tomorrow is more about the atmosphere.  More about the mood.  More about the fight.  
Tomorrow, points mean fuckawl.  
??

We’ve done it all season home and away, why should tomorrow be any different.

I'm with you @Ellafella

...to not take an air of gloom into the stadium tomorrow and let it pervade and transmit to the players. We need to go "once more to the breach dear friends...stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; then lend the eye a terrible aspect;...".
Really need to lift up those players, remain steadfast, look the storm in the eye and make the noise of a united fanbase. We have nothing to lose. Just keep that support going; it helps that there'll be a big crowd of Blades there who may well spark us off.
Show the football World and the EFL that we will not be cowed. Convince Rooney we are still behind him 100%. 
 

RD said hoping to hear from Administrators imminently 

If the deal was each supporter contributed a pound for One Direction to erase their entire back catalogue then we'd probably have the money within an hour.

Hey buddy have you got a light?

I can.
I was gutted when Tim Ward was sacked, replaced by this inexperienced upstart from Hartlepools United.

Since the EFL are ultimately responsible for this poo show, we could all bring small claims against them for the psychological and emotional damage their incompetent handling has caused us, as consumers. Only costs £35 and if they got a few hundred might have to explain themselves. 
Or we go one further and crowdfund a lawyer prepared to take them to court, during which every aspect of their handling and decision making would have to be put on record, including conversations with Gibbo. Could well bring them down. 

What is the record for least number of posts before a thread descends into pun hell? This must be close to it!

Suggest the Rohypnol, a goat and several Polaroid photos.
