I've sat and read this stuff for years and have never vented on the subject of Kenwright, since I'm a long way away and haven't lived through the glory years, so I know I miss them far less that you who have. Nevertheless, let me briefly unburden myself on BK.
Basically, it's a case of no good deed goes unpunished.
I question Bill Kenwright's judgement alright. He must have a deep streak of narcissism to put his head above the parapet for the past twenty long years and take the shots that come with nursing something along that many tens of thousands take ownership in as much as he does. His job is the political face of what we see from Everton F.C., and yes, maybe he has a quid or two at stake as well. God help he should get out of this with one sou more than he got into it with, or he's a robber baron.
He'd have helped much more by sitting home and venting here after matches rather than showing a bit of leg to a passing bunch of billionaires year after year until one got bit enough by the Everton bug, leaving us in our present circumstances. Yet, we should turn a battleship like a unicycle and turn into some scouse version of Real Madrid overnight to soothe our tortured souls. Right. What attracted me to Everton from afar was the value for honest graft and the lack of self-inflated entitlement. One of these is not like the other. There's a long way to go and much to be done.
Like you'd do better. Yeah, the noise goes with the territory, but really... It has been a twenty year high-wire act with a fiver and a stack of Tesco coupons against the sheiks and oligarchs, and don't forget who finally brought the money in when it got here. Did Bill overpromise? Of course he did. It's a political job. Everybody overpromises in that position. You got a ham actor with a couple of nickels to rub together who came to the sound of the bell back in the day. In retrospect, it doesn't seem as though he's done that badly.
I'm done.
