I think he’d make Trump blush the amount of bollocks he spouts.

This. He’s dampened down expectations for decades. We even gave a guard of honour and standing ovation to a manager who had won nothing in 11 years and was leaving us in the lurch to join Man Utd. That was us knowing our place. Not a serious football club but Chairman Bill’s comfy, cosy “let’s just make up the numbers” existence. Pitiful and embarrassing.
What you're forgetting is that the human ego can be an almost incontrollable force, and Bill has it in abundance. As you say, it's as if he needs to be relevant.
Let's not forget, for a long-time it was his club: whether it was his actual money or not was irrelevant; whether other held large shares was not important.
He was the owner, he was the chairman and it was his club. Rather than seeing himself as a custodian of this great club, which he's meant to cherish, it...
... became about him. Even under Moshiri's ownership, he still holds a lot of power and to relinquish this, after so long, would undermine his egocentric views.
It's the same with money: people want more. We'll also be providing his family and his other business interests with a nest egg, so why would he walk away?
For many years, I felt Kenwright got a lot of undue criticism; he deserved a fair bit, but I felt the strong dislike towards him was wrong. But in hindsight...
... they were right. He's a leech, and one who is unable or simply unwilling to realise that under his tenure we've spiralled, and that he's disliked by so many.
If he loved the club, he would walk away, but he loves himself more - or that's my take on it.

It just goes to show what a fantasy world he's always lived in when he thinks he can get fans who loathe him back onside with that joke of a statement.
So, according to this joker, those wins against the mighty Palace and Leicester make up for 28 years without a trophy? That just shows to one an all just how low his standards for this club are and further proof how he desperately needs to removed to move this club forward.
Looking here and across social media his comments have come with a massive negative reaction from Blues. That fact it was full of self--pity has only inflamed the fanbase further.
Get the F out of our club. You're NOT WANTED.

I suspect mine and your kids were just four of many that were distraught that night, mate. How he can come out and use it as an example of a ‘good time’ shows how far removed from reality he is, it’s akin to a Tory government praising the standard of food available at a food bank.

Honestly hope if and when he returns to the ground he's greeted with endless bile from the most hardcore of fans. No violence, but fans letting him know exactly what they think of him and him feeling like he needs to employ a team of bodyguards just to visit the ground. Make him feel like he cannot ever come back.
He has always been a liar, I now worry about his mental state. Even by Kenwright's woefully low standards, his recent comments have seemed more and more deluded. I wonder if he is even capable of comprehending that his position is untenable.

Completely embarrassing that statement. Fans celebrating the club's first away win for 8 months and staying up on the penultimate day of the season out of sheer relief should not be taken as a good time. The fact he cannot register that as abject failure on his behalf is disturbing.
Just when i think he cant get any worse he does it, all from his own words is all about him as always. I hope he never gets to go again like he has done to alot of people, shows alot when you dont get a player like southall even coming to the game. Because we have this egotistical chairman who in his own mind is the biggest and best everton fan.
If such events were classified a failure in his eyes, he would have to accept a level of responsibility being the chairman and long-term member of the board.
It's easier for him to talk about them as positives rather than be magnanimous. If he talks about good times, he can put his head in the sand about the rest.
Many years under Moyes and Martinez's first season weren't bad times by any stretch of the imagination, and they were certainly better than now.
So I think we've got to be careful to whitewash the whole of history, but labelling them as good times is barmy, considering he's lived through actual good times.
I'm lucky enough to remember the 80s and '95. My old man enjoyed the Catterick era and grew telling me about the Holy Trinity and how good we were.
There are lots of young fathers now who are bringing up their blues, who have never experienced success. It's crass to even suggest it's been good for them.
Maybe their perception of Moyes and Martinez are different to ours due to the lack of success, however he can't tell us that his tenure has had good times.
We've gone from being the top of the English team to sitting on the edge of the abyss, financially and in terms of relegation. He needs to k'off.

Kenwright has never been the owner of Everton Football Club, majority shareholder with shares paid for with other people's money maybe! It's no wonder after searching 24/7 for umpteen years for investors that he ended up with Moshiri, who acquired his shares, in part at least, with other people's money (allegedly). He needs to retire as soon as possible to avoid becoming regarded as a buffoon by an even wider audience. Surely he is satisfied with his multi million return into his own bank account, with no evidence of him investing anything back into the club in some form - yet, he still takes a healthy slice out of the accounts. If Liverpool FC ever had one eye on Everton FC and had an agent in place to continually thwart the growth of Everton FC they could not have chosen a better candidate. He's meddled away for years, whilst pompously lauding himself. Even in this latest blather regarding the accounts he hasn't been able to avoid referring to himself, as though he were some sort of demi-god. As for his ridiculous comments about the Leicester game, a true leader would have been in the middle of the Everton supporters, not lurking on their own and watching from a distance. I suspect he was actually in Leicester's boardroom schmoozing for most of that time as well. Everton Football Club is not about Kenwright!
Trump has lied over 30,000 times to his supporters(followers) and they still believe everything he says despite years of evidence to the contrary. Bill is a small time BS'er by comparison but nonetheless enough to want rid of
