As soon as he brought in Samuelson, Green etc the model for 'running' Everton was set in place. Some people have made a fortune from Bill's methods, including himself.

Are you serious? 1989!! 1989!! Bill Kenwright was a director since 1989 and Everton have declined ever since!! He is totally to blame. Everything he did was based upon sentiment, nothing was done for the business. He was a nice guy and we are a nice club but failing.

Mate this was coming for years and years.
I've really tried not to disparage Kenwright since he died, but, as I have always said about him, he was a barefaced serial liar and he also had the ability to look you straight in the face while he told you lies, a manipulative schemer, who was the only person at Everton who did well out of Everton football during the past 30 years.

I for one am glad he never saw this.... now is the time for someone to step up and really fight for this club... Bill would of come out and said.."sorry lessons learned Blues...Did i tell you about the time I......(fill whatever bollocks you like)
Have they had a funeral for Bill Kenwright yet? Not sure if they have and it's just passed me by.
A fitting legacy for Bills tenure

We are where we are mate purely because of him. I think the opposite of you, I wish he had of lived longer and answer for the position we are in and where he has lead us. The man was a crank of the highest order. Megalomaniac

It's been coming since 2016.
Before that we were always in control of finances. The budget was tight obviously but Kenwright worked with the manager and pulled rabbits out of hats. That's how it should be.
I'm no Kenwright luvvie - he should have gone a few years ago for his own health if nothing else - but this has only been coming since the man at the top was completely out of control and decided to throw money that wasn't ours about on nothing. That only happened in the Moshiri era.

It was a terrible decision for him to sell to Moshiri, granted.
That will always be a black mark on him but he wasn't to know the extent of how insane Moshiri is and how much of a mere puppet he was for Usmanov, any more than the blues who were singing about having loads of money when the Iranian cancer took over were.

Probably Philip Green, friend of Everton. Can't see where Blue Billy Boy amassed the funds from to own that many.
Everything was in hock to someone else.
Sure I read around the time that Pip 'got his money back'.
Kenwright sold anything that wasn't nailed down, including our training ground, in order to keep control for long enough to find the best buyer of Everton football club. The best buyer for Kenwright that is.
