There's over 12'000 posts in the Kenwright thread, unless you have an extremely low bar for what qualifies as genuinely horrible I'd say there's maybe 20 posts in total that would have been immediately flagged to mods.

I said on numerous occasions that when he leaves Everton I'll have a fine bottle of wine.

Guess what? I did.

Not because he was dead, but because the position he'd clung into for years was finally vacant. A chance to start the long healing process. He'd been a divisive figure at the club for far too long and it was often to the detriment of other, bigger issues that needed the sole focus of the support.

He'd told countless lies to maintain his grip, the only thing that mattered to him was that it was known as 'his' football club. It didn't matter who owned it, so long as he was the face everyone outside of Everton thought of when 'Everton Owner' came to mind.

Some of the stories that came out since his passing have been really lovely, they showed a side of the man that some wouldn't believe. Fair play to him. Your anecdote yesterday about how he knows everyone's name was also nice. Sadly, in modern football it's completely irrelevant how in touch with the tea lady and cleaners the chairman is.

Whilst he knows everyone's name, he wouldn't tolerate even a hint of critisim, just ask the poster who's father was a Goodison steward for over 2 decades until he's questioned Bill on something club related.

He was a vain old man, he loved the spotlight, so long as it was flowers and applause, any hint of critisim and he pulled down the shutters. AGM? Cancelled twice on his watch as chair. Made up stories about headlocks to play the victim rather than face things on matchdays.

Am I glad he's dead? No. Not at all.

Am I glad he's no longer involved at Everton? I'm absolutely delighted. It's as good as a day out at Wembley.

Stop confusing the two.

As the song goes, things can only get better.

I completely agree with this .

I can never be glad that anyone is dead .

However I am glad that he no longer has any influence at Everton.

And that is what DD is trying to do, apparently if you're pleased Bill has nothing to do with how Everton is run, which i am too, you must also be made up that Bill is dead. Sickening. Dunc you need a bath.

Jesus, struck a nerve or something, have I? I’ve said my piece, you’ve gone off on one middle fingering all of my posts and dragging this into other threads.

Chill out, man.

Well chilled sonny and to be honest if so many people are fingering you're "posts" do you think you could even be wrong, you're dragging the forum down with you're insinuations.

It’s mainly you doing the fingering, pal. Perhaps you could be wrong and it is in fact you dragging the forum down by chasing me around.

Now, wash your hands.
