I think there's probably 3 different potential explanations.
1. Moshiri genuinely bought the line bill sold him that he was well respected in football and the right man to keep leading everton because he's from the city/loves the club etc. (doesn't fly for me because we have 6 years of evidence that he's very bad at it.)
2. There was a clause in the sale of the club that essentially said Bill gets to stay until he decides to leave or has no choice due to health
3. Bill, DBB, and the rest of the board are complicit in the dirty russian money coming from Usmanov and have so much dirt on both Moshiri and Usmanov that the second they are sacked M/U will be sanctioned again and put through the Roman Abramovich treatment losing their investment entirely.

I read online that Bill was allowed to build his own ally and acolytes within the board. Moshiri/Bill dynamic caused a lot of confusion - which infamously landed us with 3 No. 10s. For better or worse, Bill remains largely influential in our recent talent acquisition as all potential signings identified by Thewell still requires Bill's approval, according to a former Everton scout. I think Bill is suspicious of DOF and in his own way trying to "defend" the club from "non-Everton/Local" influences (at least that's what I think Bill is thinking)
Regardless, the club needs to have a clear hierarchy - whether is Bill being the DOF or let Thewell be the DOF and stick to it. Instead of such confusing power matrix which does the club no good.
It is shocking that Moshiri as an owner allowed this to happen and basically our club decline is due to those two having power struggle and ego clashing in the background.

That does not work, the landscape has changed. Back then teams like Forest, Palace, Bournemouth etc. weren't spending. The TV money has levelled out the competition, if you simply stop spending you'll go down as everyone can afford those type of players we had a good time with.

Don't care. Not bothered.
Bill Kenwright needs to go
End of
He's an utter disgrace and his 25 years with no trophies speaks for itself
The return of the village idiot
He had no money to spend you dolt! Remember those transfer windows of letting Arteta go etc and nobody coming in?
He got lucky that he got a good manager in Moyes. That’s it, that’s all he has ever done right. Any decent players brought in on a shoestring budget was down to Moyes.
You are fantasising and making up stuff to make the past look better than it was.
He even sold our best ever player and made him put in a transfer request so he could go to the club he wanted to as he was being forced out, just so your beloved Bill could hold onto power.
You either suffer from amnesia or are just being a knobhead.

The idea that Bill Kenwright is involved in player evaluation is astounding and worrying. He probably hasn't played in 70 years. I can imagine his only contribution was bringing a ball, even then I bet he was shoved in goal. Not that playing should be important but what training has he had, coaching badges no. Just arrogance and narcissism.

I disagree with that, it was ran worse than a corner shop.
He added a reverse mortgage to Goodison for 25 years.
Sold Bellefield and rented Finch farm.
A budget was kept to with loans and player sales. There are miles more lies and deception but I can't make you drink the water.
I could take the loans and player sales if they had the driven the club forward with merchandising and a strategy. The strategy was living hand to mouth.
@4737carlin is basically trying to gaslight and hoping everybody has forgotten all of this.
Remember the Fortress Sports Funds bollocks too. The man is a snake and has managed to hoodwink people into thinking he gives a toss for years.
It’s just a shame he’s only finally been rumbled now.

Don't care. Not bothered.
The Fortress Sports Fund debacle could be considered fraud from all I've read and heard from people who were at the EFC AGM
The now "Chairman" presented an individual claiming to be an investor, where no funds existed
To then prevent genuine investment from other sources that would have seen the now "Chairman" potentially lose influence at the club
?
The Fortress Sports Fund/KD/Mr. Kenwright etc
Al Jazeera (they don't only report on terror cells) have just released an exposé on Mr. Christopher Samuelson. The older posters may remember he was wheeled out during our 2004 AGM as the brains behind the 'Fortress Sports Fund' and that they would provide the 30m 'ringfenced' money that would...
