It's incredible isn't it, that our Chairman would actually play these media games and try to trap fans into doing something that he can use against us. what have we come to? I agree, support the team , not the board, and it is really possible to conduct a campaign that is critical of the board, but not abusive.

I firmly believe that’s what he is like. This can’t go on. We have had over two decades of this man, we haven’t progressed , the best we ended up was being “best of the rest” which is hardly something to cheer about.

I know a slime ball when I see one. You watch, something will be said or reported and it will be blow up in an attempt to shame the protesters.

I’ve had enough of it all now. Once this ends and we can hopefully have better people as custodians I can start going the match again.

He could have really protected his legacy by bowing out gracefully - either taking a non-executive role, reducing his influence (board member but not Chairman) or retiring fully to a Club President or 'honorary life whatever role he wanted' and left the running of the club to someone else. We would have then been able to at least focus on some of the 'good times' he actually brought - Moyes and Moshiri are relatively good things he did - but instead we're seeing him fight this strange battle with the fans and we are not able to see what he's actually doing. the stadium is a good thing, definitely, but if he wants to be there when we move, he doesn't have to be Chairman, why can't he just appoint himself whatever he wants and leave the actual club to more skilled people?

(I'm assuming he doesn't want to leave and nobody can force him out, so the best option is that he's some sort of honorary title and he's out of the way. the only realistic alternative to 'sack the board' is that there are 2-3 new board members with more influence and some sort of executive who starts to push DBB - i.e. a deputy CEO or a new Director of Football Operations, or a Commercial director who prove to be more ambitious and skilled than DBB. You can see this in many companies where the leaders are comfortable and don't want to be threatened, and even appointments and recruitment is very safe. The moment you hire someone who might shake up the company, they get scared, I think this is what has happened)

What is the hurdle that needs to be crossed to get him out is the "recapitalisation" of the club to enable the stadium completion

Bill Kenwright making things difficult to remove him. Tactics he uses.

It is only a matter of time though. MSP come in and Kenwright is gone. I mean gone. As the recapitalisation happens that removes the issues complicating his removal

This is why we know Kenwright thinks of his own interests above that of Everton Football Club's interests

He's absolutely ridiculous. I cannot relate to what goes on in his mind

he shouldn’t even get that honour, he should have a bit of dignity and [Poor language removed] off altogether, our most unsuccessful chairman should be remembered as just that not honourary president or wotever other title he dreams up

If he turns up tomorrow , it creates a unnecessary volatile atmosphere. He knows this and will want to use this to his advantage via the media .Don't be surprised if there are “reports” of “confrontations” “abuse” and so on.

It’s interesting how it’s all gone quiet with the media backing him isn’t it.

No “the soul of Everton” type articles
No “be careful what you wish for” articles

Or any other propaganda.

He’s brought a lot of this on himself, it been building up for years and years , it’s finally reached boiling point for many.

My advice for what’s it’s worth, don’t play into this ego maniacs hands. Keep calm, support the manager and team and don’t do anything to give him an excuse to play victim. That would suit him down to the ground.

Just ignore him, do the spectators equivalent of sending him to Covenrty...though I hear they have enough problems without being lumbered with him...
Shun him - it'll do his head in more than booing.
