🎙Podcast Special: FAB Nominee Paul McMonnies

Like anything newly established, it has to gradually develop; and continuously evolve. Evolution, not revolution. Rome wasn't built in a day. The communication has improved, which is important, but you'll never please everyone.

I would recommend that everyone who can make the home matches to go to St Luke's while we still have her. It's great looking around the Everton Heritage Society. Can we move or replicate St Luke's at the new Everton Stadium? She is so much a part of our history and culture.

It is important to have a vision, a strategy underpinned by goals and objectives, which it sounds like the FAB is developing and most importantly trying to influence the club. Maybe with the new owners we can influence more, even though ultimately we aren't the decision-makers. But we can advise.

On season tickets and membership, considering where we have been these past few years, our waiting list is simply unbelievable.

Headlock-gate… we were abandoned… we were on our own, but came through. I don't want to talk too much about that. It's done. Let's move on.

Overseas supporters. You amaze me with the hours you put in. I travel a lot, but you all follow the blues just as much as all of us at unbelievable hours. Total respect.

I think with the new owners, we'll have more strategic thinking. They won't change Evertonians, but you can change the culture of how the club is run, which I think they will.

This is where the FAB can advise and influence their decision-making.

The new Everton Stadium takes your breath away. But leaving Goodison upsets me. I don't think I'll be able to walk away. The stewards will have to physically remove me.

I'm throwing my hat in the ring to be on the FAB. A south Liverpool boy who has only known Everton since I can remember. They've given me memories, happy, pain and frustration. But they are still my Everton and always will be.

Spirit, Forever. We shall never be moved.
