Bill Kenwright

[Carlito]

Yeah but we all know what Bill is like for being dramatic with his words, that means nothing, judge him on his actions, if thats the best you can come up with to slur him then happy days for #TeamBill
His actions saved us, at a time when we really were in a financial mess, he put us in a stable place only for Moshiri to do unfixable damage at a time when other clubs are pushing on and leaving us behind.

Utterly deranged.

 

[Stephenlloyd]

As far as I know, Bill does not have a crystal ball. I dont remember much back lash when Moshiri was announced.

Maybe because Bill came up with this classic

 

[Billy Dean]

What we need first is Moshiri to sell, that has to be priority but i cant see it until the ground is done, but then fingers crossed

Would you want Moshiri to sell if it meant Bill leaving?

Yeah, we need a new owner, with vision and his own people who know what they are doing, make or brake for Everton, but for now its vital Bill stays on until the ground is done since thats his main roll, overseeing that

What an absolute helmet he is.

 

[Tom Hughes]

haha ask anyone who was around at the time about how the bank were knocking on our door demanding money because of damage done before Bill, if we sold players we had too, what do you think we are going to be doing this summer?

I was there at the time and attended every AGM until Kenwright cancelled them after all the destination kirkby lies unravelled and he could no longer answer the questioning of shareholders. Why was the bank knocking on our door in an era when football was first becoming awash with money? When other clubs were building new stands and whole new stadia and still being able to outspend us on the pitch? He sold Rooney after being in charge of the club for 5yrs and only adding to our debt, even when he sold off all our surplus property assets and spent nothing on new infrastructure. Moyes built sides while having to sell to buy and by having a good eye for what we needed. He achieved this despite the board and its complete inability to support him financially, as shown by the zero net spend for something like a 10yr period.
It was Moyes who achieved stability on their pitiful shoestring budget.... a playing stability that gradually declined after he left showing who was the only person driving the club forward. As for he always had the club's best interests at heart.... you have to be joking. Kings Dock was a catastrophic failure for the club and was all down to him.... fortress sports fund and Philip Green's involvement were just 2 well known shysters he recruited and personally commended so that he could keep control. Destination Kirkby was another dereliction of duty and set of decisions supported by numerous lies.... that cost us millions and years of wasted time/opportunity. Moshiri had to throw hundreds of millions at us just to get us out of debt.

How is it vital we keep a bloke who’s achieved nothing in 28 years ,he may as well hang about for the relegation party as that is a fitting end to a truly rotten period for this club under his tenure

Who do you think Moshiri will replace him with?
Thats why

Correct, and people wonder why Bill staying at the club is very important right now, he is the only one we can trust

trust to do what?

There seems to be two schools of thought on Bill from those that support him.
One is that he has no say and Moshiri controls everything so at least we have a loyal blue at the higher levels of the club
another is that he's vital to how the club is run and how the club will make the transition from Goodison to BMD.

It cant be both.

Trust?
If Bill said good morning to me I would put my pyjamas on and go to bed

He would probably ask if he could go with you for a cuddle

Well we trusted him to hand the club over to someone who could take us to the next level.

Just didn't realise bill valued the championship more than the champions League.

Bill had us in debt up to our eyeballs, dodgy loans, in hock to Philip Green, our season tickets were two years in debit at one point. Our ground was in hock, to such a point when we tried to have work done on it, the Park End, we were stopped by the banks as I remember. The training ground was sold and we also went three transfer windows, without buying a first team player. We are in much bigger debt now, but with an owner who is rich enough to deal with it, say what you like about Moshiri, but when he bought in he agreed to take on and pay off any outstanding debt at the time, which he done true to his word.
