2019/20 Bill Kenwright

[Goat]

I'm no great fan of Bill Kenwright, but he's not completely responsible for our decline, he's just done little to stem the tide. Our problems started 48 years ago when we sold Alan Ball

LOL

I must have totally imagined the 80s me like.

I've still got my charge sheet from 95 when I got caught skinning up on the steps of the dole on Wembley High St.
Defo never imagined that either

Yet we didn't build on it, because we were poorly run.

Why werwe in that situation though Papa?
The story of one man and his train set.

Mismanagement for many years before he took over. Its like Johnson didn't exist.

 

[Papa Shango]

The man has overseen decades of failure and somehow still involved with this club.

I say somehow but it’s clear why he’s still here.

Define failure?

Yeah he should have stepped aside and let some person who didn't exist take over instead.

People just seem to want to airbrush him from history, it's crazy, and it always blows up about Bill after we lose a few games in 2019, mental.

I hate him for selling Lineker to Barcelona. We've not had a proper goalscorer since. Koff Bill

Selling our best players since '86...we're going after another record. woop woop

*Baines the exception*

A small matter of a European ban didn't help to be honest

No argument from me there, when the Premier League was formed everybody else rode the train, we just sat at the station.

Blue Bill bought his mate in and he is even more incompetent than him. Everton that.

That was part of my point though Kurt, Manure appointed Fergie in 86 early in the euro ban, backed him and reaped the rewards. We didn't have the financial klout or vision to do that and wasted a massive opportunity to stay at the top. The Moores millions had all been frittered away by then.

Bill Kenwright took over as chairman in 2004.

Jeffers put in a transfer request. Ball never did much after leaving us and it was an issue with Smith obviously between him and Dunne. So one left of his own accord and the manager chose to sell the other two.

Who was True Blue Holdings?

Is that because we pretty much killed balls knees off?

Funny a lot of these young players wanting to leave isn't it despite being offered record contracts.

When Kenwright took over I remember him saying we don't have to sell our young players or that he had a plan. In all of his tenure I'm not sure what his plan was apart from keeping our heads above water and playing the plucky underdog.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

My mate's brother (Damien Logan) played in the youth team with Dunne and roomed with him in some old lady's house... said he was a mental alcoholic who liked to open the wardrobe in his room and p*ss in it, fall down the stairs and punch walls drunk.

I hope he got some help at some point, cos that doesn't sound like a happy young man.
