All I’m seeing is you digging a massive hole for yourself tbh.
The trick with digging, is knowing when to stop.

Probably because there's a massive helmet in this one

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’m not Carlin, you are.
I don’t think even that idiot Delph would’ve proclaimed him best salesman
You’re absolutely right though, he was the reason Moyes had to work ‘miracles’ not a contributing factor towards the positive

Considering that so many people have apparently made it clear that they where happy about Kenwrights death you'd think that it would be easy to find all these abhorrent posts but no, Its really rather difficult, basically impossible. Its almost like these posts don't even exist......

I said it before in this thread and I'll say it again. Dying does not evevate someone to sainthood. I have the same contempt for Bill Kenwright as I did when he was alive, his death doesn't change his actions. I have nothing but negative things to say about him.
Now, for any of the morons who seem to think that means that I take any kind of joy from his death, you're idiots who are utterly incapable of nuance so don't see that one can hold strong feelings towards an individual and still not want them to come to any harm.

Good post.
I disagree with the D:Ream reference though.
In my experience with EFC no matter how bad things are, they can always take a turn for the worse
