Bill Kenwright

[Billy Dean]

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

It's also quite misleading.

"He invested everything he had into the club." This is technically correct but he actually didn't have anything.

Wow mate! Do you actually know that?

I do mate yes

I never fail to be impressed with those who possess such knowledge of people's personal finances. I have a grip of my own but that is about it. It must have been a public announcement, maybe in the Red Echo that he contributed nothing?

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.”

Steered us through turbulent times that he put us in. Thanks Chairman Bill.

I think most of us know this as a factually correct statement, basically potless, asset stripped us to barebones and borrowed to keep himself in the club.

Theres no big secret or revelation here.

Most of his finances were public due to his Theatre Business etc, again was never any great secret.

His personal worth is also probably of Forbes or Idolnetworth etc so again, you jut shave to look.

He wasnt a rich man, he is definitely richer now and from what was a very low investment backed by others, of, I believe circa 20 million to get Johnson out.

Was 20 million the whole of what True Blue Holdings offered, or just BK himself? Anita Gregg lent him 7 million

So that earlier quotation by mackavennie from a statement by someone named "France"was a completely false statement by the said Mr France? Disgraceful that he should get away with it.

Genuinely miss his steadfast defence of Chairman Bill.

As far as David "France" is concerned he has to be given credit for his involvement, one of the largest if not the largest collection of Everton Artefacts etc and his position, his work here http://efcheritagesociety.com/membership-2/david-france/ is unquestionable but as far as his statement in relation to Bill being admitted to the Hall of Fame, it is seriously misguided in my opinion, so for me David France is seeing Bill through Blue Tinted Spectacles.

Bill induction into the Hall of Fame did go to a vote, more info here https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spo.../duncan-ferguson-bill-kenwright-storm-3461307 but as previously mention when the likes of Trebilcock and Pat Van Den Hauwe dont even make it, his inclusion is baffling to say the least!
