Since moyes what has kenwright got right, yea he made a good choice with moyes he got lucky with how good moyes built the team with limited funds. Id eould love to kno what he offers now to the club to take us forward
 

No it does not. Because Moshiri is a crap owner does not make Kenwright a good one.
In comparison he was, that's the issue, the grass did not turn out to be greener if Kenwright sold, to many people had this "Anyone but Bill" beliefs, just like they do now as far as who Evertons chairman is.
If anyone believes Moshiri appointing one of his men, one of Kia's mates as chairman, they are truly blind to the last few tears.
 
Don't be silly, lack of ambition, are you saying Moshiris ambition is a good thing? It's not about ambition, it's about understand how financially viable we are and what risks are worth taking.
The glazers have taken United backwards, just like Moshiri took us backwards, deference is the level they dropped too is much safer then ours.
Not winning a trophy isn't on Bill, however staying in the Premier League was since both before and after his ownership it was threatened
He handed the baton to Moshiri, and then the game was up as far as Everton competing above mid table.
Bil stayed at the helm far too long. We haven’t won anything undef his stewardship because he didn’t have the finances to invest in us. He got lucky with Moyes, but wasn’t able to back him.

As a result of his tenure, we are now a mid sized also ran club.

Bringing in Moshiri was also his choice. I recognise he helped us at first, but since then, he has held us back. The Moshiri debacle is another argument though.
 

Why is anyone even wasting their time trying to engage with someone who thinks Bill Kenwright is good for this football club?
It's a morale responsibility.

Billy Liar is the message that needs hammering home at every opportunity.

Repeatedly relaying the message about Kenwright isn't the same as supporting Moshiri to the hilt which is what most of the Kenwright sycophants seem to reply with.

"The decline is down to Moshiri."

Partially yes, but the slide started long before.

Moshiri would not be part of the picture without Kenwright, whose 24/7 search for investment led him to this man after over 20 years of steady decline. Moyes saved Kenwright by papering over the ever widening cracks.

Kenwright is a needy little man, who lives to feel the adulation of thousands. He's played so many for fools, becoming extremely wealthy in the process. The fact he managed to keep his Chair tells you everything you need to know about his choice of buyer.

He's been a permanent fixture on our board since before the formation of the Premier League. A marketing exersize that propelled the English game to the forefront of World football bringing in mind boggling ammounts of money. Whilst other clubs siezed this opportunity and generally appointed people on the business side to take advantage, Everton bimbled along like its still the 70's and 80's, chuckling away manipulating the gate figures to save a bit of tax here and there. Look how clever we are!

Again, the disastrous point was Kings Dock. 30m pounds of the clubs money to secure a whole host of European Grants to complete what would have been the most visually striking stadium in the UK, In the absolute heart of the city. Bramley Moore will be good, eventually, but its put us 30 years behind in commercial terms.

30m pounds was 'ringfenced' according to Bill. "It will be in our account tomorrow morning" was what he told shareholders at an AGM. Outright lies to shareholders are an offence. Guess what? Evertonians couldn't care less. He's not Johnson. Hurrah!

We as a club had an opportunity to fund our end from a board member who offered to stump up. Kenwright fans will rewrite history by saying the Greggs wanted to shaft us. Don't believe them for a second. The Greggs explained this at a fan meeting that was reported by the local media as an attempted coup.

"Poor Bill, he's one of us!“

They wanted a greater voice at boardroom level and control over non-football activities at KD. Hardly 'shafting us.'

Plenty of people at a similar time often bemoaned the fact Lady Granchester wouldn't invest, or her son. Guess what? She made no secret of her hatred for Kenwright. She can see him for exactly what he was and still is to this day.

I could talk about Kenwright all day and never get tired. If even 1% gets through to the knubskulls I consider it a victory.

One of the admins yesterday complained some comments are in poor taste.

We'll, I wish Kenwright was dead. I genuinely do. I have done for a long, LONG time. I'll get ridiculously drunk the day he finally keels over, but will be sad at the ammount of damage he's caused. And for what? Nothing but his own ego.

"Imagine who we'd have without Kenwright! Moshiri would bring in Kia!“

He may well do, that might be a good thing. Evertonians may finally wake up from there self induced coma and fight for their club once more. A bit of 'Kopite Behaviour' is exactly what this club has missed. It took a few hundred to remove Viktor Pereira from the managerial menu, we can easily mobilise if motivated.

Until we wake up en masse we have exactly what we deserve. A club teetering on the brink.

Kenwright, go jump in the Mersey.

Next to no-one "had anyone but Bill beliefs" at all. You're purposely conflating the argument to paper over years of managed decline and to even present Kenwright as a success..... when the facts and figures prove otherwise. Also.... no-one is saying Moshiri has been great.... but he did what he was asked to do, he came in and left BK in charge and passed over his cheque book. He got rid of the long standing debt and started the whole stadium project. BK is still chairman!!! He literally runs the club. He helped squander Moshiri's warchest on multiple managers and poor quality players on ridiculous contracts and has incurred even more debt.
