Bill Kenwright

[Toff33Blues99]

Kenwright brought Moshiri in, because he was the only fool he could find who would inject large amounts of money and leave him in charge of his train set. Its also worth bearing in mind that, had we not sold Rooney to United we may well have gone out of business. That's how well run we were. The head and tail of it is, Kenwright got very lucky, when, after speaking to Walter Smith, he appointed Moyes as manager.

I stopped reading at the words train set. It's a tired, never funny line that has been over used so many times its now a cliche

Do you suggest he should have done a Leeds then?

No, I suggest he should have bought in legitimate investment years ago instead of a string of blags and near misses (Fortress Sports Fund, anyone?). He should have appointed serious football executives to the board, not the likes of DBB to bring investment in. Finally, he shouldn’t have attached the ludicrous condition to any sale that he must be kept on as Chairman. No wonder we’ve ended up with the current idiot owner, the only one stupid enough to keep on the most unsuccessful Chairman in the club’s history.

I am going to assume you are fool when you insert a word I did not use. I never said his era was a 'Success', I said it was well run.
He came into a millionaires playground as it entered a billionaires playground yet we still regularly punched above our weight, will grant you Moyes did a lot of heavy lifting but Bill supported him as best as we could. The club is in a complete mess and instead of fans focusing on the guy who owns and makes the final decisions , we have this bizarre witch hunt to a chairman who has BEEN ASKED by Farhad to do a role

It’s not Bill that worries me, he never promised more than he delivered to my mind, it’s Moshiri and the next sale that worries me, he’s not going to stick around, my eyes are on the next sale that - will happen relatively shortly in my opinion, we won’t have Bill or the safe guard milestones he built into his incremental sale to Moshiri.

It’s the future the sharp eye needs to be on lads, not the past.

He didn't get lucky, he showed he was a good owner, he got advice, he listened, and acted for the good of the club, something Moshiri doesn't appear to do

Yes, like Kenwright, the phrase has been around far too long. Don't forget to stand up and clap next time his overfed face is on the big screen will you?

Yes, but don't forget, Moyes wasn't Kenwright's first choice, his first choice was another one of sentimental luvvie Bill's bring a blue home brigade. Gary Megson. Just as well that even though he had just been sacked, Walter Smith still cared enough about the club to press Moyes' case.

Well run? Didn’t we once go nearly 3 years without paying money for a player? We were that well run we sold the best young player the club has ever had to Man Utd on the drip for about half of what he was worth. Whilst other clubs improved stadiums, Bill put blue gravel round the pitch.

I think if you exchange 'well run' on his post and replace with 'managed decline' and it makes more sense.

It's heartwarming that after all these years of 'leadership' more and more people are waking up to this absolute joker.

He tried to kill us with Kirkby and nearly succeed. Its ridiculous that our sleepwalking fans have allowed him to continue for this long.

Still, better late than never.

Meanwhile people are turning a blind eye to Moshiri, the real cause of our problems

Find me any quote that he attached the condition

I don't think many are turning a blind eye to Moshiri.

He's clearly made mistakes. He's at least popped his head above the parapet and admitted as much. Bill is still scurrying around on his hands and knees from armchair to sofa as though the jehovas are giving him a knock.

Do Moshiris words mean anything? Not yet, his actions in the coming months with dictate if they're worth anything.

What is undeniable is he's already done far more for Everton than Kenwright has ever done.

Don't forget to boo like a 5yr old next time he is on screen. And overfed? So childish

We've had some great times though, he got that one right, what he didn't say is they were all before he was chairman.

….appointing Benitez was certainly as bad as it gets.
