I want him gone as much as anyone, but it is a fact he took the club on when no one else would touch us. It doesn't matter whether it was his money or not, he managed to get the backing we needed at the time. I think that early success emboldened him into believing he is indispensable. The turning point for me was Kings Dock. That was the first time I thought he acted in his own interests to the detriment of the club. He seems to have done that many more times since then, and eventually sold up to the wrong people just to stay involved. Last season's antics were unforgiveable, and fully turned me against him
 
Can’t we just close all threads relating to him
The thought of him or his spies reading on here as they have done in the past makes my skin crawl.
He is the type who salivates at any press be it good or negative so him being rendered irrelevant will kill him more

The ultimate self publicist and fantasist

No way. I hope he’s reading every single word.

Sorry what early success is this you speak of? There was no success for the club at all having missed out on a couple of golden opportunities? Was the success you speak of his success in being ‘brave’ by investing in us with someone else’s money? I admit that is success….I wish I could invest with someone else’s money, pay off debt by asset stripping someone else, enjoy none of the downside and a healthy dose of financial upside. The guy is a vampire - he has ducked the life out of us over a long period of time.
 
I think what people said in here is right. Once/if the MSP deal goes through, if he is not dispensed with then, the only way to get rid of him, is by getting rid of Moshiti

Yes, I do mean that he took action when no one else would. The Moores family heirs turned their back on the club, and I don't recall any of our other wealthy directors stepping up, or any interest from outside investors. So in that regard he kept the club afloat after Johnson bailed out. I didn't suggest it was brave in any way, but it was decisive action.

Disagree….there was another consortium interested at the time (can’t recall who they were now) and actually this ’rescue’ act was not a rescue act, as he also wanted Everton at the same time that Johnson did. The Moores family preferred Johnson as they felt he had the funds whereas Kenwright had less financial backing. This whole ‘he rescued us’ myth is just that….a myth.

Well I can't recall any other consortium either, so perhaps other longstanding fans could enlighten us. They couldn't have been that serious if they were outbid by a man with limited resources. I am not lionising Kenwright in any way, it has been our misfortune to have him as chairman in the long run, but we can't change history.
