Bill Kenwright

[siddharth]

He might be here for a bit longer sadly.

BK: Boy do I have a proposition for you! A 777 original...

pg 666
seems appropriate lol

If (and it's a big if) he had anything to do with R&M blocking MSP I wonder if this deal was done as a big two finger salute to Bill. Be interesting to see if we ever see Kenwright and Moshiri together again.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

He was far from just a figurehead, when Moshiri came Bill was his right hand man, don't forget Bill practically ran the club showing Moshiri the ropes and how to spend his money.

I always got the impression that Mosh was the one in charge and Bill was sort of a lackey figure kept on as a token, but maybe you are right.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Is that you Bill?

Jenny told me not to say.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

You’re very conveniently forgetting that Kenwright wanted Megson over Moyes and it was Walter Smith that changed his mind.

Please don’t try and give the fat slug any credit, as he deserves none.

Not trying to give him credit, just think he's kind of a powerless pawn at this stage.

 

[Tel001]

Kenwright ain't going nowhere. He'll have a stand named after him

I’d be happy to name one of the bogs after him in the new stadium … would serve as a timely reminder … everytime someone looks down before they flush… bill will be remembered

I’ve hit page 666 for kenwright on the day 777 took over.

 

[GoldenToffee]

He's going nowhere so best to just accept it. The only way he leaves the club is in a bodybag.

 

[BNJ1878]

He's been "very ill" for at least a decade.

Unfortunately, never ill enough to retire.

Strange that.

Won't retire because he's a 'workaholic' who only wants the best for his club. Trouble is, nobody knows what he does.

The club cannot attract a decent calibre of sponsor, had to go back on its pledge to not use gambling companies and is amongst the lowest earners the division ; the club goes through managers like nobodies business - at any one time they're likely still paying the previous 2/3 managers ; as chairman, he's overseeing an extended period (over half a decade) where the club has bought recklessly and ended up releasing over £250m of 'talent' ; he signed off on the most hated managerial candidate knowing the fans would be up in arms, ending predictably ; he was a crucial part of a vicious campaign against the fans in an attempt to gain sympathy amongst the press to save his skin ; is apparently too ill to perform his role (and has allegedly been so for a long time) yet won't step aside and allow somebody more capable to take the position on ; claims to be the most revered chairman in the league with loads of contacts, clubs jealous of how he conducts his business dealings yet hasn't been able to leverage these contacts to attract investment in the club.

It's impressive how badly he's failed the club.

 

[Yarrgh]

I wonder if he's included in the deal? basically like selling a haunted house, with a creature that has no present purpose wandering around the grounds spouting about past glories

If you can spend the night at Goodison Park in the presence of the undead Kenwright, the club is yours 777.

 

[Yarrgh]

Like that floating turd that won't go away no matter how many times you set the fn house on fire to get rid of it.

Did you try poking it with a stick or flushing again before burning down the house. That seems rather a drastic action.

 

[bluerobert]

I don't care but can't wait for him to just die.

He is a utter vampire who has sucked the utter life out of our club.

I hate him so much. I pray he never sets foot in our new stadium. He is a utter cancer and a fraud.

I will egg his hearse if it comes near Goodison

Jesus, 3 utters in the one post.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Doesn't he have any family? Surely they ought to be doing all they can to prolong his life and remove any stress from it - particularly if he's as ill as is claimed to be the case. They're as much to blame as he is for our plight if they're not piling on the pressure for him to retire.
