Bill Kenwright

[bluejohn66]

Sheikh Mansour, who went on to buy Manchester City, his bid was allegedly declined, because Kenwright was not prepared to stand down as Chairman. Indeed it was the end of the relationship between Gregg and Kenwright with Gregg’s shares being sold to Robert Earl of Planet Hollywood.

You’re entitled to disagree, but the facts are that things started going pear shaped once your man Moshiri got the keys to the building.

You see, you're completely wrong here.

Things were going wrong from the early 2000s, not long after Kenwright 'saved' Everton.

He started selling everything he could to cling on, he got dodgy loans to pay back his original backers. Refused to answer valid questions at AGMs and promptly cancelled them.

The club has been in steady decline since about 2001. Moshiris money merely enabled Kenwright to stamp on the accelerator and increase the rate of decent.

Stop trying to make out everything was rosey before Moshiri arrived. We're were already on the long steady slide to the bottom.

Kenwright is behind it. Between the crap songs that get played in the stadium just before kickoff, to the constant celebration of mediocrity. I believe it will take at least 10 years to undo the rot that he allowed to set in.

I’m glad this is finally being spoken about.

You missed the greatest crime of all which was Bill trying to move the club outside of the city. No Evertonian in the world would do that to their fellow blues imo.

The fella who bought Fulham tried to buy Everton too.

Apart from the thousands who actually voted for it like.

Kenwright brainwashed a good portion of the fanbase into following him like the pied piper blindly towards anything. People actually fell for and believed his lies and spin that Goodison was gonna fall down in the next 2 years unless we moved.

Please don't give those people any airspace, also it was Bill that put the idea in their heads in the first place.

I hate them with a passion. Completely kills the atmosphere, especially before second half. Not sure why more fans don't kick off over them.

Kenwright's self indulgent "show-tunes" style signalong has no place at Everton.

Absolutely terrible selection.

I hate it lol

They’re so cartoonish and stupid, I bet they proper relax the opposition and make them feel like they’re playing against a joke of a club.

Not denying that lid, but thousands were happy to leave.

I remember the scare stories (about fire certificates was it?) but there were plenty of dissenters too tbf.

At least you lot don’t have to listen to Jamie Webster ripping off a terrace chant.
