A great point was made earlier about Kenwright yes men as club ambassadors. Graham Stuart now redefined as a diamond geezer. He was OK but club ambassador? Like Kenwrong he epitomises EFC being mediocre, lets celebrate being plucky spunky but mediocre. David Moyes penknife to a gunfight another Kenwrong hero who that fatheaded disgrace would love to bring back fornicate over and say "the boys are back in town" we will give it to Kloop. 0-0 would be classified as magnificent look at us now!

Surely Bills just a figurehead that is wheeled out in public every now and again to make everyone feel good.

Surely he can’t be involved in the day to day running of the club... can he?

“Wheeled out now and again to make everyone feel good”? How on Earth good he do that. If you believe he is just a figure head you haven’t being paying much attention to what’s going on, and not just lately.

Typically in football the chairman is also the majority shareholder. It’s THAT that gives him the “manager’s boss” role, not the title of Chairman.

Firstly, we aren't run like a 'typical football club', the litany of balls ups proves that, secondly, and regardless of shareholding, the 'contractual responsibilities' dictate who deals with the manager and I believe 'the board', in whatever its form, pull the strings on that, which, on the basis of last week's reports say it was overseen by Kenwright, Moshiri & Brands, again, which would show an undue influence from Kenwright.
If there's anything Moshiri has gotten so wrong, it's not shifting that charlatan out immediately.
 
Bill kenWright brought a period of stability to Everton football club, when we were inevitably going to be relegated within the next few years he pulled off a master stroke by appointing an unknown young manager in David moyes that took the club to the next level. Unfortunately it’s time for him to go, we now need to get to the next chapter and the next level before we fall back down again, we don’t need kenWright, we don’t need David moyes, we don’t need mark hughes. Go and get Mikel arteta and let’s move this ship forward
 
Given how hapless every football decision created by or rubber stamped by Moshiri has been he would be terrified of Bill leaving as BK knows and understands the workings of the Premier league and the English game something patently beyond the Iranian accountant.

Bill is here as a background advisor till he croaks or Mosh sells up.
 
Blue Bill cant run a bath Barry never mind a top class club. He is lucky I will give him that. However going back to your post on croaking it, sadly you are right.

He will still have a chain of command, he will still need to have approval from the owner.

He can't just hop on a plane goto Barca sign Messi for 500 million and pay him a million per week just because he is " DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL "

Kind of, but you're stretching it to make a point.
What would normally happen in companies the size of ours would be something like :-

  • Moshiri appoints Sasha as FD, DBB as CEO and Brands as a specialised Ops Director
  • Bill sits in the background offering high-level advice as and when required and is used as a sounding board occassionally
  • Sasha is tasked with setting budgets for playing and non-playing sides of the business
  • DBB is tasked with ensuring that she generates the income from the non-playing side to feed into Sasha's purse, and she's given a budget to produce that income
  • Brands is tasked with building a squad which is capable of ensuring that the manager has the tools needed to make the team successful enough to generate the expected income from the playing side
  • Brands is given a budget by Sasha to deliver that and it's up to him how he spends it. He should only go back to Moshiri for sign off on cash when it's outside his budget and the situation is exceptional
  • Silva's tasked with delivering results based on what Brands has fed him
  • Meanwhile, in the background, Chong is tasked with keeping BMD ticking along on time and cost and a few other management folk should be supporting the CEO
That's how it should work if the place is being run professionally. Everyone knows what's expected of them and has the resources needed ( cash and people ) to do their jobs. If they fail without good reason, then, eventually, they should be binned off.

The comparison is with an Iranian who has minimal to no experience in running a football club anywhere BK is unassailably streets ahead on that single issue add in he knows every power broker in the game and it's a slam dunk that Mosh wants access to his "workings"

Bill's benefit to the club is hypothetical perhaps the threat of relegation and liquidation may not have been realised without his appearance, who knows? But the fact is he picked up the threadbare reins from the gutter and we weren't relegated and didn't go bust instead stability and a semblance of dignity re appeared.

There are criticisms to be had with Billy but inferring he doesn't know the game nor benefited us in at least the ways I outline is fantasy
