Bill Kenwright

[GrandOldTeam]

I'm sorry for any unintended offence and I don't wish him or anybody for that matter any iIl will.
I'm nearly as old as him and at that age you have to look the question of your own and your contemporaries mortality...and if you have a history (I don't) - how that history will be viewed. Well you don't have to if you dont want to, but you see the point.
Due to the, shall we say, Polarised nature of opinions, the question was asked in a spirit of genuine enquiry.
Different people can, do and will see him in different lights.
I know for a fact that all newspapers keep rough copies of Obits of the great and good and up date them every so often.
You can bet writers in many Fleet St offices (I know they all in Wapping now or some such place) have recently been up dating The Queen's.
Again, no offence was meant.

All good mate, and no doubt professionals will prep obituaries for significant individuals.

Not sure for chairman of a football club who is in good health though

As a fan base I think we risk criticism losing validity if we're perceived to go into the gutter - not saying you have/are but some do around health/illness/death.

The man is utterly shameless.

I really think he's so deluded he probably believes he's done a great job as Chairman.

The confusing part is people still support him, when ALL the evidence of his shambolic reign is available, free of charge in the public domain.

There is a massive difference between "supporting him" and thinking that he is not the devil incarnate responsible for every bad thing ever at the club.

My personal opinion on him has always been a bit "meh".

Going nowhere

Going nowhere

Not while he's on the gravy train, there's a free ticket and someone else is paying the tab.

Our survey is approaching 4k responses - we could put it under the nose of countless journos and they won't touch it.

Which makes you wonder....... What are they so afraid of?

I get that part too!

However, those that shout down any kind of protest against the board of the directors (or even critisism based on historical evidence) must have some worthy reason for doing so.

It seems he gets a pass from many because he's a supporter at heart.

If you drew up a list of good and bad things he's ultimately responsible for at the club one list would be far longer than the other. His disciples would argue otherwise, but they'd be wrong.

Is it true Kenwright has hired Bellew as some sort of minder at games now? Or another nonsense rumour?

 

[Efcjake]

You'd think his name was Mao the way he has got everyone calling him "The Chairman" and towing the company line under his Minister of Propaganda Dave Prentice.

Seen a couple of posters call him Kim Jong-Bill. Think it's fitting, he sat around getting fat off of Everton while the club starved near to death. It's OK though, all in service to glorious leader and his ego as #1 super blue.

You wouldn't be far wrong.

You get enough people repeating the same lies they become the truth.

(people excusing those same lies has the same effect)

Clap! Clap! Clap!

This rat has overseen a period in our history were a couple of generations of blues have never seen a trophy.

Get out of our club you fat flump

 

[Cow kecks]

Only ever met him once on the car park at Leeds after the 95 semi. He was with Labby and Jenny and was blabbering on to Eddie Cavanagh, never heard a word he said, I was too busy blimping Jenny, gorgeous she was but she must be some sort of idiot to be stuck with that beaut.

Try approaching BK inside Goodison, without a smile on your face, on gameday and you'll soon find out !!

A couple of my mates had a word with kenwright and Bellew was snarling at them lol . He’s nothing but a sell out Tony Bell end

Kings Dock - Could have happened, but it would have meant relaxing his vice like grip on his trainset. Non-Starter

Kirkby - Nudf said

Walton Hall Park - I never really felt this had any genuine momentum. The cynical side of me suspects it was little more than a 'Look, we tried' exersize.

There was of course a 4th option, a redeveloped Goodison which would have been feasible, no matter what the club tells people. The issue was Bills mates wouldn't make any money off that. When you also factor in the club didn't have the money to do it, or the faith from the banks they could pay it off. Never going to happen.

Bramley Moore will be lovely, particularly in about 10 years when the Ten Streets is fully up and running as well as a (hopefully) much progressed Liverpool Waters.

I do feel KD was massive missed opportunity, commercially its put us at least 20 years behind where we could have been today.

Still, he saved us from that Kopite Johnson, eh lads.

Don’t forget the fat lizard lying to us that Goodison was going to fail it’s safety certificate in order to try and get us to go along with the Kirkby move.
