POLL: Can we progress as a club while Kenwright remains in a prominent role?

I actually find this whole train of thought that we have been held back by Bill Kenwright is nonsensical.
Certainly, he has made mistakes during his tenure as owner and he certainly does not have the kind of money needed to make a Premiership club successful at the highest level.
But, he took over a club that was a basket case. He appointed exactly the right manager at the time and supported him strongly for a number of years, when things were going badly for David Moyes and with money when it was available.
At the end of his tenure, the club was stable but not rich although by keeping us in the Premiership it has allowed us to keep sharing the ever increasing wealth from the tv deals.
His final contribution is probably his greatest...or so it seems at the moment.
Finding Moshiri seems to have been a masterstroke, but, only time will really tell us if that is so.

Great post, problem is its easy to forget what a mess Everton was when he came in, and we didn't have the social media platforms to spread the truth around about Johnson like we do now.
The main thing we all have to be greatful for was him holding out for the right man, he could easily of sold us to some no marks who took us over and took us under but he didn't, and for that future generations should be enternaly great full to him.

Still amazes me that he gets the blame for the whole 'Man in a Salford bedsit' thing. People were going on about how the club wasn't for sale and how he wasn't good enough to sell it..... He brought in a person who had involvement in a number of football club sales, to actively sell the club, and leaves it to him over a number of years. It's only when Kenwright gets involved again that the discovery is made. He put a halt to the whole thing going too far, yet people talk as though it was all of his own doing.
Kenwright hasn't exactly been our best owner/chairman EVER, but I think that he has become somewhat of a pariah to people who, quite frankly, have nothing better to do. He's also seemingly become a totem pole which some can publicly flog to try create their own following, therefore feeding their own ego.

We still here which is due to kenwright so he not the issue why we haven't progress into a super club.
Astonishing the blame still being dished out towards Kenwright.
The good is always Moshiri.
The bad is always Kenwright/Elstone.
Teflon Moshiri has done well to keep scapegoats on board

This is my main worry. Is Moshiri the new messiah with a truly grand vision, or is he just Kenwright Mk2 with a bit more dosh?

Don't know about that mate. Moshiri is starting to get heat from many in here, my good self included.
Has much to prove, and some of the things we have been witness to the last 12 months have been embarrassingly cringeworthy.
As for BK? Like that lingering fart in the elevator that doesn't go away.
I'm sceptical about moshiri too but willing to give him time. I don't accept however BK selling up for huge profit but refusing to go and then cocking up our summer transfer plans. He's an embarrassment to the club.
I'm just not convinced on the proportioning of blame towards Kenwright.
Mate, Moshiri wants him in that role, talked up his value in that role...
How much longer are we going to pin blame on Kenwright?

How much longer do you give Moshiri a free ride? This summer?
