What is the Everton fans 27 Campaign about?

While Everton’s search for a new manager continues, there is a real worry amongst the Evertonians that the owner, Farhad Moshiri, and the main board employees consisting of Bill Kenwright, Denise Barrett-Baxendale and recent recruit Graeme Sharp will not be up to the task as recent manager failures have proved.

Even a few weeks before Everton fans had already planned to show there displeasure at Moshiri and the board with the creation of the 27 Campaign.

The mis-management of Everton Football Club from behind the scenes has been the subject of this constructive fans campaign which was started just before the game at Brentford earlier this season at the end of November. A banner was seen in the away end at that match and again at the Merseyside Derby a few days later at Goodison Park highlighting the lack of a trophy for 27 years, the last being the FA Cup win in 1995, and asking the Everton hierarchy to follow the ‘Nil Satis Nisi Optimum’ latin motto of the club more closely.

This campaign gathered momentum and at the Arsenal home game at the start of December a walkout of fans was organised in the 27th minute to highlight the campaign. While most fans did stay in there seats, a number did head for the concourse and it achieved quite extensive media coverage.

Since then while many outside of the core Everton fanbase may well believe this has disappeared, the campaign has actually been collaborating with many fan groups and has come together to launch under the @27yearscampaign Twitter handle as you can see below:

In this article we will go through each aim of the 27 Campaign which asks Farhad Moshiri to work more closely with it’s shareholders, fans and partners.

It is not asking for Moshiri to leave his post as we understand the financial input he has had since coming into the club in 2015 and is a crucial time for the club with the move to the new stadium on Bramley Moore Dock imminent.
