Bill Kenwright

[Bluestar]

Buying the club with a bank loan that he paid back by asset stripping the club selling the training ground and Rooney was worse than not winning a trophy imo. As was trying to move us to a Tesco car park in Kirkby and telling the fans that Goodison was going to fall down to get them to go along with it.

He is the epitome of failure.

What part of there was nothing wrong with him staying on as chairman since he had been doing the job perfectly well for over a decade do you continually fail to get?

Go have a read of @MikeH72 below and get back to us.

If he had any dignity he would resign.

DBB too. Great job on the stadium and football contracts are not her remit but there’s too much stink of failures

Whatever other sundry board members also

But let me ask: who else gets onto the board, where do they come from, how do we get directors who know how to do their job which is to provide governance and oversight? I assume directors get appointed or elected by the shareholders but FM owns almost all now, yes? And he’s the problem…. So how does this work exactly?

This is just the bottom line really. I don’t understand why there are unsure reaction emojis on this post. It’s mad how determined people are to not hold Moshiri accountable, solely because we’re building a new stadium that we can’t afford to pay for

I think the reality is that Moshiri won’t sell until he can get what the club is worth as a Premier League outfit with a fantastic new stadium.

So really, I suspect we need to get used to the idea that he’s not going anywhere for a while.

But that doesn’t mean pressure can’t be applied to him to recognise his absolute inability to run a football club. His investment would be in better hands if the club were better managed on his behalf.

Either way, he’s the man to target. To get him out, or get him to overhaul the business.

Exactly. He's a clown (clown enough to not see Bill coming) but he's not a big enough clown to crystalise his losses by selling now.

So really, I suspect we need to get used to the idea that he’s not going anywhere for a while.

Unless he finds a bigger clown. Unlikely.

But that doesn’t mean pressure can’t be applied to him to recognise his absolute inability to run a football club. His investment would be in better hands if the club were better managed on his behalf.

Exactly. Had he swept out the boardroom of all the arse sniffers on day one and installed a completely new team, we'd be 6/7 years along the road now. Instead, we've regressed and he's 100s of millions out of pocket.

Had he installed competent people on day one he'd be pretty much the perfect owner. He didn't, so it's hard to have any sympathy for him.

Either way, he’s the man to target. To get him out, or get him to overhaul the business.

Yep, action...even at this late stage is absolutely essential.

Agree on the dignity side but also his mental health? It can't be good for him at all. it's really weird. I appreciate he loves the club and won't want to walk away classed as a failure but surely him or at least his close people can see that it's only getting worse. He's having to leave games early because of the vitriol. Somethings got to give.

Yet he didn’t and therefore he’s been a disastrous owner that’s killed the club. Such fine margins.

No argument there. What a mug.

High stakes game at the top. More important than having access to huge amounts of money, is actually knowing what you’re doing in my opinion.

 

[Fatality]

Don’t be silly mate, he won’t be attending because he’s “not a well man”

Oldest trick in the book.

I agree, but I don’t think he’s that bothered about how he’ll be classed. Look at his arrogant ‘good times’ comment to people who have never seen us win a thing.

He’s sat on a fat wedge for his ‘trouble’. He’ll be remembered more as a Peter Swales or Doug Ellis rather than a David Dein.

What a twitter page that is. Makes for proper grim reading some of the crap Kenwright has spouted over the years

 

[ArtetaMoney]

I genuinely don’t know what to reply to this and stay polite

Stick him on ignore, mate.

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

Kenwright is & always has been an absolute stain on the club!


His rejection of the citeh sheiks alone tell us all we need to know about the man. He put his own selfish ego driven needs over the good of the club.
