When will he leave sweepstake

It’d have to be merged with a “ when do you think he’ll pop his clogs “ sweepstake.

 

[GwladysBlue]

He really needs to go now. It’s just plain ridiculous the oaf is still here going into 2020.

Well with all due respect you are not on the board so couldn't possibly know this could you?

The only one I would have questions over is Brands because his side is pretty easy to judge as we see it every week on the pitch. And even then he has barely started his role.

Again, what change do you want exactly? Sack the whole board?

No I'm not, but we all see the product on the pitch and the numbers we bring in off the pitch for commercial revenue. Do you believe it is unreasonable to question the performance of either?

I think the other board members, in charge of the stadium and growth of the club commercially also have significant questions to answer.

And no I wouldn't sack the whole board. I've been quite up front about what I'd like to see. It would start with 1 or 2 top people coming on board into key positions on the board (namely chairman and CEO). I think the rest of the board deserve a chance to work under them and we can start from that position. Personally I'dgo after Evertonians Brian Gilvary and Terry Leahy.

Im not a fan of Kenwright but articles like this are nonsense,he has no say in who the manager will be,he might make suggestions but its Moshs choice hes the majority share holder

It seems to me if this stuff is true that Moshiri and Brands care a lot more about the fans opinions than Kenwright does, i just want Kenright totally gone from the club and paying for his own tickets.

I'm not a supporter of Kenwright but i've said before it makes me laugh how people somehow manage to twist every single situation to make it his fault. When good stuff happens other people deserve credit, when bad stuff happens it's always somehow Kenwright's fault. It's genuinely weird the way some people have him pegged as an incompetent fool - 'he tried to sell us to a bloke in a bedsit', 'he turned down a hundred squillion pound investment from the city fellas' - and some sort of evil brainwashing genius who has managed to retain literally the exact same amount of power he always had despite being a minor shareholder, and has twisted the media and the myriad of buyers he turned down round his little finger to never actually call him out.

Let's be clear on one point is not for BK messing up and having a row we could possibly be on King's Dock now.

 

[Benedict]

But you keep going back to the leauge placing and that's not what is being discussed here it's the fact that kenwright is a terrible chairman that's has overseen the worst tenure of evertons history. He has presided over failure after failure at Everton football club and for some reason he's still chairman of the club, he's head of the board ffs.

Why does he still have any power at the club?

The fella has pulled the wool over the happy clappers eyes for decades, at any opportunity he gets he comes galloping out of the sunset like a super hero Mr Nice Guy to save the day, the ultimate self promoter, he will use Everton as a door mat to anyone or anything as long as it makes himself look good, he probably wants to be mayor of Liverpool and the happy clappers buy it every time.

We just can't shake off his stink

What you're saying is probably 100% right. But BK has been on our board since 1989, which just about coincides with the longest run of mediocrity in the club's history, and as far as I know he's the only ever-present since that time. It will be much easier to stop blaming him for things when he's gone.

Just thinking of the name makes me shudder now says

Kenwright has never ever ever ever ran us as a football club.

I really thought maybe naively that once moshiri had settled into his role that we would have seen a real overhaul at boardroom level with people brought onto the board with real expertise and a different insight ,the board as it stands seems stale unimaginative and not forward thinking or capable to grow the buisness
unfortunately it's same old same old

 

[AndyC]

And you reckon the likes of Abramovich doesn’t make the decision on hiring/firing managers? lol

You’re also confusing chairman and chief executive in vast majority of cases. The CEO is typically in charge of “running the club”.

Unlike our CEO who's far more interested in padding her own CV with meaningless awards that do nothing for the football club.

 

[AndyC]

Whilst Kenwright takes a lot of stick he shouldn’t have to do anything at Everton given Moshiri is owner, DBB is CEO, and Brands is DOF. Yet it seems that he still has to be called into rescue transfer dealings and advise on the stadium. Truly bizarre. What is DBB doing? Not a word from her as we continue to bounce from one catastrophe to another.

Completely and totally out of her depth, has done absolutely nothing to enhance the commercial performance of the football club... send her back to EitC sharpish and bring in a serious business person to drive the club forward.
