Is not the football acumen , transfers etc ., the Director of Football's job.
It seems to be eveywhere else ?.
Why complicate matters by letting this serial failure , who has dragged us into this awful situation , from a potential once in a lifetime opportunity , continue to meddle , and drive us further downwards.
Moshiri , in my eyes , is now almost as culpable as this idiot.
In no other sector or industry , would you make a decision like this , and therefore insult your customer base.
Unbelievable !.
 
This copy was obviously written by Kenwright/Prentice and faithfully reproduced by the lapdog Joyce
They rewrite scrimping and saving, sell to buy under moyes as 'transfer acumen.'

Well done Prenno.
Would Shiekh Mansour have bought Man City had they not been gifted the Etihad ground or the Saudi's buying Newcastle if they were in a run down 35k ground and not SJP ?
Yes, to both. They would have.

A new stadium is petty cash, sofa change.

The UAE pumps out what is essentially flammable sludge at 230 million dollars a day at current prices. Obviously it's not all profit, but it's a sizeable sum.

Saudi Arabia dwarfs that, even after recent production cuts it's approx 750 million USD a day.

Using the stadium as an excuse for Abu Dhabi not going ahead is playing right into the hands of Kenwright.

Imagine his best acting sad face:

“if only we had a new stadium we'd have been winning trebles by now!"

Don't for a second think that was the stumbling block.

Everton were the first choice. It didn't happen. Why? No idea. But I have it from people I was dealing with on behalf Mansour around that time Everton was the first club approached.

"We looked at Everton first but received no encouragement to proceed"

I will swear on my families life until the day I die that's what I was told by one of the ruling families most trusted advisors.

Another person I trust implicitly (city based) tells me the Everton deal got to due diligence stage before the deal was shut down from Evertons side. Dunno. That's what he said and I have no reason to doubt.

Shinawatra, exiled in Dubai at the time (still is) made contact and the deal was done in days. Abu Dhabi had their team.

Whichever scenario (no encouragement or due diligence) the stadium wasn't a factor. Please, stop using it as an excuse.

Same goes for Newcastle. I'd expect they were attractive because they were relatively cheap and had a big marketing value. (famous name - rightly or wrongly)

No doubt Kenwright turned down numerous buyers during that "24/7 search" nonsense but if you think Everton in Goodison Park is equally as attractive to buyers than Everton in Bramley Moore Dock then I dont know what to tell you mate.

No one is jumping to buy us over say WHU in a 60k ground, Villa in a revamped ground etc if we were stuck at GP for the foreseeable.

But that's not what you said, was it?

No, but the fact is approaches were made in a decrepit Goodison Park and we're turned away.

It genuinely wasn't a factor back then.

Is Everton more attractive in BM? Sure. But to a wider buying pool.

Would they rather buy Everton at Goodison in the Mid 2000s or Southampton in a relatively new stadium at the same time?
A SWF, particularly a Gulf one couldn't care less. It's about getting a recognised brand. Manchester City literally fell onto their lap, lucky them. Genuine case of right place, right time.

As we're getting a new stadium anyway, it's a moot point.

He's seriously starting to look like a knobhead!
 
Someone just tweeted a link to the 2011 leaked emails from inside the club. It’s been a good 12 years since I read these and obviously they’re a little bit old news now. But the emails at the end of the thread from Elstone and Mark Rowan give a good insight into their playbook and you’ll see a lot of tactics that the Board has been using this year. Like getting certain journalists and other characters who “owe” them to come to bat for them in the media against protesters. There was talk even back then that BK had lost the plot. Imagine what he’s like now

 
So Kenwright who supposedly “has nothing to do with transfers” is being kept on due to his transfer window acumen.

He’s been running the whole thing, with Moshiri blindly believing everything he says. No wonder Chairman Bill was so over the moon when he found Moshiri.

Exactly. He's been playing football manager for years, and making anyone who's the actual manager sign confidentiality agreements no doubt so they won't complain.
