Whenever this thread gets bumped I get a tingle of excitement.

One day it will be justified.

The RS echo article is probably half of it written by him ..until the day he passes..he will be the millstone around Evertons Fc's neck..
Left the ground after the Arsenal game and walking away still heard about 3 conversations saying hes one of us yada yada..jeez ...beat Luton and it will be put on the back burner FFS...koff you kin phoney

777 buy the club. He gets launched. Club goes to crap due to the past decades of mismanagement. He gets a bunch of news stories written about how the club was great when he was in charge and it's everyone else's fault, mostly the ungrateful fans.

That's his style.

Onana or Branthwaite will clear the repayments due next summer

Onana please then - total bluff merchant

You could be right Jeff that Kenwright is not a Kopite but he says how he used to go in the Boys Pen at Goodison but never explains who he went with or mentions which games he saw but goes into detail how he went to Anfield on the crossbar of his Uncle Cyril’s bike and was handled up the Kop by supporters until he reached his uncle, another far fetched story, it’s hard to believe a word that comes out of his mouth, I wouldn’t be surprised if he never went to either ground when he was younger but spent those days at matinees in picture houses dreaming of when he would become a big time film star. - - - - - he would have been perfect for the lead role in Billy Liar.

If people were able to trace my early days following football in Liverpool based on occasional activity, I could easily have been believed to be a red.
I went to Anfield a lot when Everton were away and usually in their boys pen but often in the Kemlyn Rd stand when I went with my dad. I actually wagged school one day to watch them play an FA Cup replay against Man City.

If Kenwright supported Liverpool at any time at all - and I say if - he must have been a very lukewarm fan to later take up such a prominent position at Everton. I mean, why would he? He was, and is very successful in business.

My dad, who signed himself out of hospital one Saturday morning to go to the match, used to go to Anfiled when we were olay

Haha I read that as Saint Cyril Turpin. Was he related to Betty ? Hope when they have the investigation Bill is brought up before the Grand Jury.

Not well, apparently.

He’s made more money out of football than his business enterprises though Jeff.

I used to go to Anfield a lot when I was younger and, as you say, Everton were playing away, I ran from school and got in at three quarter time to see that game v Man. City, thought I was going to see another thirty minutes of extra time when Billy Liddell thought he had scored the equaliser but the referee had blew the full time whistle as the ball was in flight on it’s way to the net, Not all referees are bad ones and Merfyn Griffiths who I think was the ref. that day was better than most.

He's had no luck...he's been unwell for the past 20 years.

My dad said he blew the whistle then because he thought he would've missed his train home if it went any longer. I mean, as if.

I heard he had a serious blockage requiring surgery last night. Apparently it was touch and go but the obstruction was a large bag labelled Arteta money.
