Bill Kenwright

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Sporting equivalent of the common situation in which people who win the lottery end up broke.

 

[MikeH72]

His refusal to sell to anybody unwilling to keep him front and centre eventually allowed Moshiri in the door.

It all comes back to this.

It all comes back to this.

It boils my piss.

"there's no better Salesman for Everton football club than me!" and the press lapped it up.

"I'm searching 24/7 for investment!"

Just stick a massive for sale sign up in the Park End car park, knobhead.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

A banal, tasteless and totally ignorant comment.
Please start acting like an Evertonian.

Kind Sir...He's right unfortunately. Bills legacy is diabolical.


Case in point is Kings Dock.

Clearly, you don't.

Irrelevant.

The board is tasked to run the business. Do you think Moshiri (or Usmanov if you like) was filing in and submitting paperwork for all our deals with the Premier League?

Moshiri wasn't a board member until everyone else jumped ship. He had zero legal control of what went on. Did he put deals forward? Of course he did.

The point is, the board could have pushed back. They would have seen where this is heading. They didn't, they just stayed on the gravy train and bowed their heads and did what the big man asked them to. They failed in their legal responsibility to protect the business.

They could have resigned their positions, they didn't. It's on them. All of it.

The reason Everton are where we are today is 100% on that useless, disgusting, vain old queen. His weak board appointments have led us to where we are today. Board appointments of allies he knew would never challenge him. He tried one early on with Trevor Birch and didn't like the advice he gave so that was short lived.

His refusal to sell to anybody unwilling to keep him front and centre eventually allowed Moshiri in the door.

I've said it many times, he's the worst thing that's ever happened to this club and I include Houlding in that conversation.

I hope they drop his coffin.

How many boards have you served on?

 

[Exeter_Gently]

We're the classic case of sliding doors...


Just imagine if he'd have put his ego to the side for a minute and worked with Paul Gregg we'd have had Kings Dock boxed off and then agreed to let Sheikh Mansoor buy the club?...both these situations weren't pie in the sky,unfortunately the reality is somewhat different.


He'd have a statue outside and end named after him.

Some people just don't want to see, it boils down to that, they believed all the true blue, school boy stuff and no matter what you say, they stay in their nice, safe fantasy World.

 

[BNJ1878]

How many boards have you served on?

Total? 4

Currently. 2

Whats your point?

Actually..... I'll edit that.

Currently 1 'commercial' board, and one board that's advising a government. So not a board of an operating business.

Without doubt. But like I said, it’s disproportionate. Bill’s dead and there’s been horrible, horrible posts about him since that happened. Everton were a top 8 side until Moshiri arrived.

Alright Carlin. Long time no see

 

[Duncan Donuts]

Alright Carlin. Long time no see

I’m not Carlin. You are.

 

[Walken]

Hello, break out your swimmy badges

 

[mahermi1]

How many boards have you served on?

As many as you perhaps ? What that poster is staying is common sense you're answer is simply sarcastic and serves no purpose as it answers nothing, try harder..

That’s just one point there’s about another 20 including things he’s said and done.

Charlatan of a man.

I see people are still playing the “Bill vs Moshiri PICK A SIDE” game. They’re both on the same side. Both different cheeks of the same arse. Both as culpable as one another in different ways for where we find ourselves. Both should’ve been chased out of the club years and years ago.

Exactly, they have both been poison for the club, but Kenwright was poison for far longer and was the only director/owner, over the past 30 years, who came out of it all having made a lot of money.

Don't get me wrong, I despise what Moshiri has done here, but, it was for by far a shorter period, he wasn't as cute as Kenwright and lost a pile of money here, so, in my book, Kenwright was by far the greater evil. Having said that, all Moshiri has done here is get us into enormous levels of debt, he has also started the build on a stadium, which he neglected to get proper funding for, now his fat Uzbeki mate has been sanctioned, this stadium may well be the millstone around our neck which puts us into administration, or, even bankrupts us.

Yes Kenwright has been, by far, the bigger problem for us, but Sir Farhad, building us a shiny new stadium, do me a favor.

20 years too late unfortunately.

No need for that pal.
Despise him for his period of chairmanship, but to wish someone dead is crass and beneath this forum.
