Bill Kenwright

[ForeverBlue92]

The Equity union Leader said his production companie was the
Worst payer around.
He also got called out for publication of critics reviews of a play , on advertising from London publications , when the play had not appeared in London.
The man is a born liar

@Steve Wigan worked alongside Bill and claims he was a humble & brilliant worker.

I just dont know what to believe anymore

The litmus test for a so called fan is people know you went to the match. I went home and away all through the seventies and Kenwright was never mentioned as a fan. Eighties I dont recall him, he just seemed to appear when the ownership was not wanted by the Moores family. The rest is history and Uncle Cyril. I would imagine he was a little bit of a football fan with a red leaning but he wanted profile and knew where he would likely get some. I don't think he ever imagined it would make him so wealthy. I know where I want him.

Tell me Lawrence as I really want to know - what would you do/say to BK if left alone in a room with him for 5 minutes ?

If you believe him mate, you will be awake all night waiting for the easter bunny to appear in a few weeks, just as likely to happen as him telling the truth.

God a wish he would just have an ounce of decency and just go.

God a wish he would just have an ounce of decency and just go.

It would be a massive lift to the fans if he was to resign now.
It would show that at least the club was starting to change and it would be the beginning of the end of a truly dreadful period in the history of the club.
I know we are in the middle of a relegation battle but he would not be missed the football side carrys on and Moshiri just needs to bring his own man in until the end of the season to keep things ticking over.

He'll resign (if not pushed out sooner) the minute it looks like relegation is going to happen.

He'll try and blag his way then by saying he wasn't part of it and it's not his fault. I don't believe for a second he'd be there to oversee it and put his hands up and admit how much blame should be apportioned to him

Might have been on Desert Islands Discs but Bill told a story about Elvis having a secret trip around London with his mate Tommy Steele in 1960.

He is a showman and people believe his lies.

He can try as much as he wants but we know he has been heavily involved with our transfer dealings over recent years and that is where 90% of our problems have been.

Yes definitely, have thought the same for a while, his mysterious illness will suddenly get worse in April. Does anyone know if he was at forest or any of the board

I don't think so mate, there was nothing reported or no pics but then it could all be to do with the MSP stuff which has increased the last few days again, so Kenwright staying on the down low.

In fairness that story was in fact true , There was Bill , Tommy Steele me and Fidel Castro god we had a skinful that day

I don't think he ever actually worked with Kenwright mate, just worked in the same industry for many years and their paths crossed. He has been around since the days of Kipper with his BK stuff.

How/why can a Hall of Fame be full?

Its like Madame Tussards saying there will be no new waxworks made cos no one will be famous enough anymore.

because some of the incumbents are only (being generous here) small L legends ??

Edit; I seem to remember commenting on here that as The Club / Bill was funding it, once he was 'In' its a case of "I'm Alright Jack; pull up the gang plank - I'm on board."

Agree. He will continue trying to have his say or making himself centre of attention. There should be no honorary titles, positions, awards, statues or anything else

Removal means removal

To allow Everton to move forward without him trying to worm his way back in, including in the lounges on a match day or trying to be lauded for absolutely nothing but failure.

'Pissed on his chips' is the usual short version of what you describe

He will find a way though, I have said for many years that I think he is one of the biggest conmen in the game. Even if he just turns up at away games Bill will still go to games as he thinks Everton belongs to him sadly.
