Bill Kenwright

[Eagle Eye]

That's the problem, under Kenwright we were stable, post Kenwright anything can happen, but they can't be worse then Moshiri.

Bill Kenwright has presided over the most unsuccessful period in our entire history. He has remained chairman of the board, even though Moshiri has owned us as majority shareholder.

Boards of Directors are employed to get shareholders a return on their investment. Kenwright, Brands, Baxendale, Walsh etc have all been employed to run our club and make day to day decisions to generate the best return for all Shareholders (Mainly Moshiri) and stakeholders (us the fans). They have failed both parties.

Moshiri has made the investment and the clown Kenwright has spent it like Lloyd Christmas. Moshiri is not day to day in the detail of the club, the Directors are and they have shafted us all royally. Moshiri's mistake has been to trust them.

He hasn't been behind the scenes going "here's 20 million, go buy Andre Gomes please". The people at the club have come to him with a business case saying, "We believe we can sign Andre Gomes for 20 million, he is what we need, do you sanction the spend?"

That is how it works. Once you get your head around that, you see how badly Moshiri has been let down. His greatest mistake was not binning Kenwright off to start with, though him staying on was probably a condition of the original sale, so he probably can't get rid of him until he sells his majority stake.

Utter fraud Kenwright and a millstone around our necks - can't wait for Kenyon. How on gods green earth can it be worse than 27 years without a trophy and being on the precipice of financial ruin and continually shafted in the transfer market by any and every club going..

As long as these Americans aren't asset strippers who will load the club with debt with a leveraged buyout and sell us for a profit at the first opportunity.

It's been suggested Mr. Everton did the same.

He borrowed a chunk of cash off Paul and Anita Gregg for Johnsons shares but he was still short. *

For several years after his takeover a suspiciously large figure of "other operating costs" appeared in the accounts. People joked it was lawnmowers or blue gravel. Its highly likely it was servicing a debt.

Factor in he continued to sell off club property, players and TWO training grounds whilst still pleading poverty and its easy to join the dots up.

*the same Paul and Anita Gregg who offered to loan the club our share of the cash for Kings Dock. The difference this time is it would take a bit of the shine off Bill so he wasn't interested. He's been described as a cancer, it is the perfect description.

It disgusts me that fellow Evertonians support him.

Tick tock.

haha you mean the Moshiri that almost relegated us last season? We never once faced relegation under Kenwright, only before and after, that's a fact its impossible to deny.

This is nonsense, pretty much every season between 1997 and 2002 we were slugging it out in a dogfight, 1998/99 when Campbell saved us and 2001/02 when he had to sack Smith with about 7 games to go and rolled the dice on Moyes spring to mind.

Apart from 17th place finish under moyes?

Love the way people forget how bad we were under martinez. Remember that Stoke game and thinking we were down after it. 2 seasons straight we were in the relegation mix up until about April.

17th under Moyes, we never looked like going down that season, we just tailed off towards the end.

There are rumours on twitter that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk wil buy Everton together in a 9 billion deal, wich also holds a new stadium naming rights deal with Up High & Hard (UHH) the famous strap-on compancy from Indonesia,

Which backs up my point even more, 1997, Kenwright didn't even put an offer into too buy Johnson until late 1999, he then gets a lot of credit for taking advice and getting Moyes at the right time.
Carter remained chairman until 2004.
We never once faced relegation under Kenwright, however we did enjoy European football.

You are drowning in this thread.

We won 9 games and lost 18 that season. We only won 3 games in the second half of the season.

To tail off you have to start in the first place.

I suppose that is the good times bill was talking about eh.

Mate, don't let actual facts like yours get in the way of misty eyed historical recollection of things.

 

[summerisle]

I was in that dream, gave you a fifty pound note thought it was a tenner same colour, any chance of you giving me forty pound back!!

Sorry mate, later on in the dream I spent it on some good times.

 

[summerisle]

Good Times.

Carlin under Kenwright we were one step from insolvency, we were in hock to that leach Phil Green, we had shady off shore vibrac loans, thats because normal banks, like Barclays for instance, refused to deal with us because we were a bad risk. Our season ticket sales were in hock two years in advance, there was a two year period were we could not buy a first team player. David Moyes, a hate figure on here kept us afloat due to his talents of finding cheap bargains, diamonds in the rough in the transfer market.

And yet people were still shouting to spend money even when we obviously had none. We all knew this at the time.

Kenwright cut his cloth accordingly, like he should do. Moshiri has came in and threw crap at the wall to see what sticks (nothing so far...)

Moyes is not a hate figure on here at all, there is a difference between hate and not wanting him to have come back. What little money we did have went on improving contracts for our better players so they wouldn't move on. We didn't spend much on transfers but we did pay well, at least relevant to where we were in the league at the time. Both of them were pretty much fire fighters during their time here.
