 Welcome to Toffey TV, it is the Everton News Daily. The ESSG, the Everton Supporters Stakeholder Group, will meet with Everton chief executive officer, Denise Barrett Baxendale, and other members of staff to discuss the proposals that would see an Evertonian or an Everton fan have a place on the board as a director. This has come on the back of Tracy Crouch's report, it's been going on since June. It's come about really because of the wake of the Super League and people trying to get, move teams into that ridiculous competition. Fans had a backlash obviously and stopped it and then it was thought that fan voices needed to be heard at clubs so Tracy Crouch got involved in putting together proposals for that and the best practices. The Everton stakeholders supporters group got together and formed back in June and as a result of that Everton will now sit down with the ESSG to talk about that. What they're asking for basically, the fan director on the board, the three real things they're asking for is to become a full member of the board. They will attend board meetings with no restrictions and with equal voting rights as the other board members. They'd be directly accountable to and elected by Everton supporters and they'd be suitably qualified and possess experience and competencies necessary to effectively operate at board level. And what it would do it really, and it's the big thing isn't it, is give a voice for us on board decisions. Right now there's nothing there, board members can do what they want. A lot of it is done secretly, we have no idea what is being discussed at that level and this means that having a fan director would give the opportunity for the fans voice to be put to the board members. It also, I guess, stuff that they're talking about would be able to gauge the reaction of the supporters and what they think about certain proposals that the board are putting forward. There has also been talk of a shadow board. Anyone who watched the business with John Blaine video that we did on Patreon would know what this consisted of. I think that's a good idea as well so you'd have obviously a shadow CEO, you'd have a shadow finance director and so on and so on, whether or not there's a new director of football, you'd have a shadow one of them and they would operate based on decisions being made on this side. They would be discussing them on the other side and I think that makes it a stronger situation but it'll be interesting to see whether this actually comes about. A lot of people view this as just being lip service by the football club but there's a real momentum gathering for this now and I think if a fan does end up becoming a director on the board, I think that's a big step forward for the football club and hopefully then proposals can be put forward based on what the fan base wants and we could maybe see the football club being closer to the supporters because at the moment it seems like we are miles away and there's a big division right between us. The other thing regarding this is they want this to be in place by the beginning of next season so this is where all of it, I guess all the negotiations begin and we'll see whether Everton taking on board or literally or whether Everton passing off. Everton have issued an injury update today, just what we need isn't it, with the news that three more players are injured. Ritialas New came off in the 57th minute on Sunday in the defeat of Christopher Palace. He has suffered a small tear in his calf and it looks like it's going to sideline for a number of weeks which is absolutely depressing. Andross Tarnden has suffered a small fracture in his foot and X-ray revealed that he is seeing a specialist later this week to determine the best cause of action for him and Seamus Coleman suffered a bone bruising and soft tissue damage after Ben Techey's high and late challenge which really should have seen him sent off but obviously VAR wasn't working. So obviously those three are out for the, certainly Thursday for Coleman, the other two will be out for a while. Coleman will continue to be assessed in May, May return against Leicester City on Sunday but I imagine he's definitely ruled out of Thursday's game with Chelsea so really we're getting battered from pillar to post by injuries at the moment and what more can we do, we've just got to hang on in there and see what we can do. Evan today being linked with the move for Dynamo Kiev left back vitaly Mike Lenko. The 22-year-old Ukrainian defender has been capped 21 times by his country. He's played 88 games for Kiev and scored five goals. He's got a good turn of pace about him, strong in the tackle, nice left foot. It obviously puts a huge question mark over Luca Deane's future at Evan. Deane has quite publicly had a fallen out with Rafael Benitez, he's been left out of Evan's last two games. This would suggest there's no way back for him really. Maybe the players decided themselves that he wants to move on and quite sure there'll be a few shooters for Luca Deane, you know French left back, lovely left foot. So if this move does come off then I think you would expect Luca Deane to go out the door to make way for Mike Lenko so keep your eye on that one. Finally Blackpool are keen to take Ella Sims back on loan in January. Sims spent the second half of last season on loan at Bloomfield Road. He's got 10 goals in 24 games for the Seasiders. They won them back in January and I guess if he's not playing games for Evan then put him back on loan because obviously they're playing in the championship now so he's gone up a level and see whether he can continue his development. Neil Critchley, the Blackpool manager really likes Sims, they worked well together last season so it could be a good opportunity to develop Sims further and give Evan a better idea of what his ability levels are. Sims of course did sign a new three year contract with Evan just a few weeks ago.
