‘It’s scary’: Michael Ball slams the whole media for what they have done to Everton

Michael Ball Criticizes Media’s Handling of Everton’s Crisis

Michael Ball, a former Everton player, has voiced strong criticism against the national media for their lack of accountability in covering the ongoing crisis at Everton Football Club. In his opinion piece for the Liverpool ECHO, Ball expressed his disappointment with the media’s portrayal of Everton’s situation and their failure to support the fans’ efforts to hold the club’s ownership accountable.

Over the years, as Everton’s financial troubles have deepened, the supporters have united to call out the detrimental leadership that has led to the club’s decline. However, Ball points out that the media has often ridiculed the fans’ concerns instead of backing their cause for a sustainable future for the club.

In his article, Ball highlights the recent financial reports that have brought more bad news for Everton, emphasizing the negativity that permeates the club from top to bottom. He commends the fanbase for their continued support and points out that their longstanding concerns about the club’s mismanagement have been proven correct.

Ball goes on to criticize the media for protecting the club’s image, citing instances where the media suggested that other owners should emulate Everton’s board. He argues that the fans saw through the facade and were not believed when they raised alarms.

Describing the situation as “scary” and filled with “doom and gloom,” Ball laments the state of the club, which he feels has been run like a circus. He expresses concern that those responsible for the club’s plight may escape punishment while the fans are left to witness the decline and bear the consequences.

Ball’s commentary sheds light on the disconnect between the media’s narrative and the reality faced by the fans. He underscores the impact of the club’s troubles on the atmosphere at Goodison Park, noting the exhaustion and frustration of the supporters. The fans’ dedication has led them to protest, first against owner Farhad Moshiri and now against the Premier League following a ten-point deduction.

In conclusion, Ball suggests that the media should pay attention to the fans’ accurate assessment of the club’s situation and their justified response to the recent Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) penalties. The fans, according to Ball, have always known best when it comes to the welfare of their club.
