Bill Kenwright

Still waiting on you to confirm I have supported Bill Kenwright.

Ever.

I retracted publicly all criticism I ever made of Blue Union.

They were right. I was wrong

Indeed I fell for the lies at the time that originated from Bill Kenwright and his minions
"He who repents for having sinned shalt be welcomed at Bramley Moore Dock".

You and Neiler were the two biggest happy clappers on here.

I defo did when he was majority shareholder, I’d never say otherwise, but it was a different context. I’d still give him credit for a few things.

However nothing is absolute - he’s stayed far to long - for I think reasons of self interest and ego.

As Chairman under Moshiri, I think he’s now a patsy and modern football has passed him by and it’s time to go - Bill however I think is only part of the problem and all of this angst is pulling punches - the big issue is Moshiri and the collective dynamic, Bills is a patsy and easy prey - not that his performances as chairman post doesn't deserve accountability. It does - he’s one of the highest paid directors in the league as such his performence has to be reviewed annually - it’s been awful. But he ran the club like a jockeys backside up to that, the change agent was Moshiri.

He should have left in 2016.

My view is that writing an open letter to challenge Bill Kenwright and the Board on their performance (something we can all agree needs to be done, if not the timing of such actions) does not make training sessions any less effective, tactics meetings any less instructive and it does not make the left back any less adventurous on the pitch or unable to tackle. It shouldn’t give our attacking options pause for thought when attempting to score a goal.

The support for the team should be at the arrival of the coach and in the 90 minutes, that’s where the focus of our survival should be.

Anything outside of that should not concern the manager, coaching staff and players and certainly should not impede their performance. Survival is paramount short term, I agree….I just don’t think it affects the direct support for the team and therefore should not affect the performance of the manager, coaches and the players.
You can bet your life that the atmosphere around the club has got to the playing staff.

They'd be less than human if it hadn't.

Oh I definitely repent. I've spent the last two years self flagellating for my sins

No in all seriousness.

What was the turning point for me was during COVID and Denise Barrett Baxendale getting the "business awards". I was aware what was going on behind the scenes at the time with the Premier League. It was the summer we signed two players for £1.7 million.

It was the revelation for me in terms of how Bill Kenwright and Denise Barrett Baxendale behave.

You'd have to be blind not to see just how badly the club has been mismanaged at this point

This podcast episode also only galvanised me. It made me determined to force Bill Kenwright and Denise Barrett Baxendale out

I’m not sure about that….I know it wouldn’t get to me. On the one hand we say the players don’t care when they are crap…”they’re lazy”,…”they don’t care about the shirt”…blah blah…..and then on the other we say they are distracted or effected by divisions between the fan base and the board….there is a contradiction there in my opinion
 

Was a good guess that.

So you would have believed Kenwright's spin on the story back then.
I didn’t think at the time that they ‘raped’ the club as he claimed at the time, that was overly dramatic from the Luvvie. I think they could have just gone about the situation better, that’s what turned fans against them, I never had an issue with their stances as such more the leaking the interview without club permission as much as what was said needed to be heard
 
You weren't the only one that was hoodwinked so the slate should be wiped clean as we* come together to force change.

*well most of us

I think the podcast quoted above gave in very simple terms how Bill Kenwright and Denise Barrett Baxendale misuse and abuse media

Podcasts were not as big as they are now 10 years later. Things like Spotify and so on make things so much more accessible

Bill Kenwright was fighting a war like he had with Blue Union. But #AllTogetherNow and NSNOW are bigger and the Kenwright tactics haven't worked
