Well he didnt, Moshiri did, before him Bill had us in a stable position, that is a fact which can not be be denied, two facts in fact.

I wonder if Kenwright made a great appointment in Moyes, kept him motivated and well paid , but then didn't work on the club set up and 'culture' in the background. Imagine if we'd made small, long-term investments in the academy and coaching etc, and realised at that time that we had to use coaching and scouting to compete - not player purchases - then we'd be stable today. Then a rich investor or cash injection might have just been the icing on the cake. I sometimes think we just got lucky with Moyes and circumstances (Everton was the best job for Moyes for 11 years, so he stuck with us)

and about being a blue...it's clear that the depth of your love for Everton is not equal to how qualified you are to run the club or work in it. The recruitment of ex-players is just too romantic and idealistic, and I dont think we recruit based on skill level and competence.
Board - Executive - Football operations - marketing & PR - first team 'staff' (not the 5-6 that come and go with the new manager) all need a total rethink and revamp.
 
I wonder where Bill watched away games.

Reckon he meets up with Farhad to watch them, or they text each other through the game, or they do neither and it’s just the awkward (non Chang) elephant in the room when they see or speak to each other?

Yes he should have done due diligence...because Moshiri has totally didn't keep his promises by pumping in a shed load of money and the building of the new stadium...:coffee:

And had absolutely no idea how to spend that money, hiring and firing at will, letting clueless managers, DoFs etc to swindle it all away, he has no interest in football other than using it to wash his dirty money.

The point is you can't say that without the added benefit of hindsight. If you got told in 2015 we would have an owner would would pump in that amount of money, that would be a good thing in most supporters eyes.

Kenwright has lots to be blamed for, that is not one of them.

I'm Joe Bloggs off the street mate, of course I want someone to invest, but I want it to be the right person, Kenwright said he would only sell to the right people. He lied, or he failed.

In my naivety, and despite having been on his case since I was literally a schoolboy, I let myself believe the yarn about him presiding over a seamless handover, retaining barely more than a ceremonial position, etc. I really, truly thought that the decks would have been well cleared by now, following a complete off-field overhaul in the vein of what happened at City and Chelsea, but the rot has only been allowed to deepen.

If I'd realised that it was basically going to be a shift into a parallel universe where Green and Earl (Usmanov and Moshiri) bankroll Kenwright to continue running the club as he sees fit, albeit with the occasional comedy interjection from our absentee owners, I'd have politely declined the offer.

Unfortunately I think the problems are multifaceted. I agree with the general thought that Kenwright would be gone by now but Moshiri has been suckered in with the Bill does everything right - clearly he got lucky with Moyes. Without the money to spend more often than not we ended up with 'Everton' type players who if they wanted to win trophies had to play well enough to get in the shop window. Opposed to everyone starts on big money and will never go on to bigger things or had already stepped down.

Moshiri has interfered thinking it's a pick n mix, although to be fair how many players we don't know...Iwobi for sure.

The hegemony of the big clubs already upset having had City and Spurs break into the CL group's cash has pretty much scuppered us right from the off, 1) there were already 6 big clubs with more money and better players to cockblock us from trophies and finishing in a position that allows us to get Europe and see that progress that makes everyone believe we are heading in the right direction and 2) I wouldn't put it past them that they've already bribed whoever they need to to keep us down.

It was always going to be struggle. Our only foothold was ruined when we decided to buy 4 number 10's than get 1/2 world class players in our weakest positions. And of course Ancelotti doing a bunk...the cockwomble.

Last game of the season at goodison if we are down or not he needs to be told exactly what we think of him.

He'll be hoping that we're safe by then, if we are him and his other Co-Defendants, Moshiri and the 1980s BA stewardess, (forget Sharpie he's effectively Irrelevent...a well paid Irrelevancy true, but in the grand scheme of things as much use as a bucket of warm spit)
If we are he'll be grinning all over his grid
