He needs to stay away because his smug pudding face will turn us toxic

Used to see him before most games outside the Wilmslow, not seen him the last few years though.

It will take someone with some real balls mate. I have spoken with people I work with who are ex sports media people who now teach and they say that much of it will be down to a fear of being blackballed so to speak, they don't want their press pass taken away from them, and not just from them but from their newspaper. As we know Bills ties within the media extend quite far and wide.

Someone in Germany or Spain that wants to take a strip of the English set-up.

I missed this somehow.

"He bought the club in total crisis"..... Perhaps, but he was already on the board. So if it was in total crisis, he was a part of the process that got us there. However, that crisis was a far less debt ridden club than the one he sold almost 2 decades later. The club that he eventually sold was a club with significantly less property assets than when he and his pals took over. A club that had to sell its youth training academy and first team training ground, and eventually couldn't afford the new one and had to rent it. A club that had to sell multiple properties and whole sites around Goodison to stay afloat.... to the point that it couldn't even complete a development on part of the Park end car park because it didn't fully own it (which it had forgotten!). It was a club that had been completely left behind financially by ALL of its main competitors and some traditionally smaller ones too. ALL other clubs had done more to modernise their stadium infrastructure. It was Moyes who was keeping the club's head above water.... while in the background our club's attempts to boost financial performance to give the manager more funds and to address stadium improvement were a complete failure. You really can't just brush the Kings Dock and destination Kirkby debacles and over 10yrs of zero net spend under the carpet just because Moyes managed a handful of European games on a shoestring budget..... and you certainly can't write it off as BKs great achievement! It's a nonsense argument. We've been in one final and have won nothing since he was chairman. We have been treading water while all our contempories have strengthened their position by increasing on and off field investment to the point where most of them now operate on a whole different level.

All but one of the players you mention arrived under Moyes. Even with the addition of a quality striker (something Moyes was rarely ever really afforded), we won nothing and that squad soon began to fall away. Moshiri turned up, spent a fortune just paying off our debts..... and BK remained as chairman running the club with a fat new cheque book!!! The major difference in both periods is Moyes and you know it! Is Moshiri blameless? No.... not at all.... but that doesn't negate the damage done by the previous 20yrs of abject stagnation that run our club into the ground, while all others invested, addressed their issues and grew. Yes we had a few days out in Europe.... big deal! Our peers had season after season of it and were actually winning things and building infrastructure and new income streams too.

Excellent post.

If we get relegated, I truly hope a journalist, who has the balls to do it, does a proper expose on Kenwright and his time at Everton.

The whole lot, the Kings Dock, Kirkby, the Fortress money, Arteta money, the sale of Ferguson to Newcastle, the sale of Rooney to Man U etc etc.

All of the lies and spin needs to come out and be made public.

Unfortunately the majority of the national media don't seem interested mate. There was an article in the athletic a few days ago called the decline of Everton and BK wasn't mentioned once in it. Plenty of people highlighted it in the comments and his reply was basically that BK's biggest failure was not being a billionaire

 

[the golden visionary]

I don't think it's a coincidence that the longest period of non success in the clubs history coincides with it being ran by an actor

Maybe thats because this period of decline has happened under Moshiri?
