Yes.

 

[paultheblue]

Yes.

How does that work as surely it is done by committee?

I totally agree mate , he doesnt deserve to be in it but he is and I just wondered how the voting works.

I notice that Mike Treblicock isnt in it which seems astonishing to me as his contribution to the 66 final was massive

 

[paultheblue]

oh god no

Calm down Matty its not just happened today I am just trying to establish how he got there

 

[everton1953]

Is Mick Lyons in it or Dave Hickson?
Maybe our Bill was added to help offset the pain of parting.

On Kenwright’s induction, France added: “I was criticised by some for including him on the shortlist, but I was always confident that the voters would show fairness. It’s a part of our royal blue pedigree.
“To his credit, Bill has steered us through some extremely turbulent times during which the club and the business of football have changed. Thankfully, he provided stability and an enthusiastic voice for the club. But more than anything, we did not forfeit our Premier League status.

“He invested everything he had into the club when no-one else was prepared to do so. Others kept their hands firmly in their deep pockets as the club faced the abyss.”

A reward for failure then

Yeah, I’m unsure mate. It seemed to go under the radar at the time as well, almost like it was kept out the press to avoid the backlash.

during which the club and the business of football have changed.

Yes, more money than ever coming into the Premier League and he kept us away from it as well as success, Bravo

This is chastening bad news for those on here who describe him in the worst possible terms.
