2019/20 Bill Kenwright

[Big Sams Little Pecker]

Because most chairman of top clubs are not nor ever have been actual supporters.
You are effectively criticising him for being a passionate Evertonian which is a strange stance to take.

No, I'm criticising him for being a cringeworthy clown

Takes one to know one, I suppose.

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Would you see a chairman of a top club behaving like that?

Would i like to see a Chairman displaying happiness, pride, fostering team spirit and encouragement to a vertically challenged immigrant who has just scored the winning goal?

Yes, yes I would.

I'm reliably informed that most Everton fans clapped at the telly whilst watching it.

He's no longer the money. He isn't in power.

He's theatrical and dramatic and likes to milk the media. So what?

He's a showman. Some say the greatest showman. In fact I think they recently produced a musical film based on his life although several details were changed for copyright purposes.

Oh the irony....

Apparently he was in the dressing room at half time, massive argument with Silva about how Sigurdsson didn't start the match.

You could argue that he kept us in the premiership when we were on a massive decline. You could also argue that he made us live within our means, which stopped us going under.

Kenwright has done a lot wrong, but we have hardly set the world alight with the billionaire that everyone craved.

It is also telling that everyone who has worked with him speaks very highly of him not only as a person but as a business man and our new owner sees fit to keep him heavily involved in the club.

Nah mate Moyes done that - imagine had Martinez or Silva been thrust into the squad of players Moyes started off with - we would have gone down and not come back up.

This club should one day be building a statue for the Ginger Messiah not Kenwrong.

Still criticising Kenwright, give it a rest. There’s not one of us who’s perfect, but we’re all Evertonian, including Bill.

Be great for once if we stopped ripping the Chairman, the Owner, the DOF, the Manager, the players, the supporters....

It's pathetic isn't it.
Some need to look up the definitions of fan and supporter. Remind themselves from time to time.

Agreed.

With the exception of Schinderlein who displays less French resistance than Rene in Allo Allo.

Huge if TRUE

It is true, he is huge.

No I'm with him on this one, the man is absolute human garbage. Take away the club being unsuccessful under him, he has embarrassed us in front of the world countless times. Giving an award to that lowlife thug who tried to smash up Alder Hey was the lowest of the low, for me he's fair game for anything anyone wants to say about him after that. Take the thread down or lock it if you're worried about things getting nasty because the man deserves absolutely zero restraint.

Care to expand? Maybe I'm the only one, but I've got no earthly idea what you're talking about.

There's links if you Google but as i remember it there was a young lad in alder hey who had a progressive neurological condition and that all specialists had exhausted treatment options and found them ineffective.
Alder Hey made the decision that there was no chance of improvement and were going to transfer him eventually to palliative care basically.
The family refused to accept the decision and wanted to take him to Italy I think to try a treatment that wasn't endorsed by NICE (National institute clinical excellence) as a last resort.
The hospital didn't want him to go because they thought it would cause him suffering and the family wanted to take a chance.
The hospital did everything they could. The family were desperate.
It got pretty ugly.
Bill gave a donation of around 10k to help the family's legal appeal.
I can't remember the result but I know the child still tragically passed away.
There were no winners in that battle and it's a low blow and ridiculous to criticise Kenwright for helping a family with a dying child is beyond contempt.

The Dad was given some sort of award at the Everton Oscars which was ridiculous but his kid had just died. Maybe Bill thought it would help him in his grief.

The Dad was well out of order by the way with his behaviour towards hospital staff which is indefensible despite the situation.

I recalling all this from memory do if I've got some bits wrong then you'll know to use Google instead next time.

 

[Lelouch]

How DARE he celebrate an Everton win and call Bernard a great player, It's just utterly disgusting, Wasn't doing this when Sheff United beat us 2-0 was he EH!

 

[degsy]

Had a few Brandies in the lounges I reckon.

And why wouldn't you? On a one off matchday I would probably do the same...and depending on how many brandies Id kiss Bernard too
There, I've said it and I don't care.
