Everton "special" Talksport 9:00pm Monday 10th Aug 2015

Steve, it drove a coach and horses through the regional plan. It would never have been ok'd at the time. They (Tesco/Knowsley/Everton) thought they could put a game changer for the area in front of the secretary of state and it'd be enthusiastically taken up and waved through. The reality was that it'd have wrecked a number of neighbouring communities and revive only the one it was seeking to develop.

It was an enormous waste of time and money from start to finish. The decision to get involved in it has left most Evertonians with a sense that they're run by idiots. It's basically Everton's Iraq War moment. In the same way Labour sickened a generation backing that, the Everton hierarchy will never recover from the Kirkby legacy.

Hell, nevermind that...KD did it for me.

KD at least stood a great chance. I suppose on that level it showed some gumption. Kirkby was like taking a running jump off the white cliffs of Dover and expecting to reach France.

Don't get me started...I CAN'T HEEEEEAARRR YOOOUUUU

Fortress Sports Fund...FFS.

The more I learn about Earl, the more it sounds as though he's exactly the sort of bad man that Bill claims to protect us from.

...at least we're not controlled by unaccountable businessmen in foreign lands....err...

Nah mate - That was Paul Gregg....Remember?

The one who bill said never even went the match (Earl's never missed a single game, home or away, since buying in)........And the one who got us the original Chang sponsorship deal in 2004. (The same one that the lazy gets at marketing/finance have renewed FOUR TIMES, rather than look for a better deal elsewhere)

Earl gave us sylvester stallone, and mentioned us on US Tv once. He's great

Bill has no children as far as I know.

I wonder what will happen to his shares when he dies.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

There has just been another piece and fan on about us. They're trying to get a member of the senior team on in the next couple of weeks.

Got a daughter hasn't he?

Oh has he?

I never knew that.

I was fine with Gregg until the Echo expose on how poorly he had treated his abandoned first family. Bad enough for me, can you imagine how surprised and sickened Bill would have been to see this printed about his good friend, and in our local paper that the club control on matters Everton.

What has a population of 50k got to do with it? The idea of retail park is that people drive there...thats why they have car parks ! People come from further afield !

Tesco, imho, used this as a test case, a lot of their future planning went around it, that it failed seen them fall.

it was as big a risk for the club, and, as highlighted many times, the country's leading retailer plus a premier league football club plus a metropolitan borough council with all their combined resources and media allies were made into a laughing stock by 'a bunch of drunken knobhead Evertonians'. They took a gamble with a community and lost, as predicted.

The legacy of an almost completely divided fanbase/customer base is Bill's actual living gift to us all.

I know a girl who works in theatre and used to work with Kenwright. She said he's utterly ruthless and has seen him publicly tear people apart before. She said he's a nasty man.

I don't think he's quite the cuddly romantic that he's made out to be.

Yes indeedy.

Hope the operation to surgically remove your tongue from your cheek goes well! lol

I remember a scathing article from Trevor Nunn about dear old bill a few years back. Can't remember exactly what it was now, but I got the impression Trev does NOT approve..........I'll try and find a link to it if I can.
