So you think Kenwrights influence at the club is at an end? Honest question.
How do I know? How do any of us know?
But if someone (Moshiri at 49.9%) owns more of the club than Kenwright (14%) then I know who has the final say these days.
The quality of our squad, our ability to score goals and the fact that results have not been reflective of performances.
Like I said, this is a subjective assessment. Any statement about the future is.
It's the same with predicting whether a young player will make it as a pro footballer. 1% are so brilliant they definitely will, 80% are so terrible they definitely won't, leaving a sizeable chunk in the middle of "you never know". For me, as a manager, RM is currently in the "you never know but definitely has potential" bracket, the man won the FA Cup with Wigan vs. Man City in the final for God's sake! He also got us 5th in his first season. It's just about consistency now, same is true of our players.

I agree Moshiri has to have the final say but that's not quite what I asked you.
Are you not concerned that "the quality of our squad" is dependant on Lukaku's goals?
His influence is clearly present, but, and it's a big but*, his isn't the final say any more, which kind of makes it a dead point.
If Moshiri doesn't want Roberto, then it's bye bye Martinez.
*not as big as my butt, that's huge
I am, to a degree.
However, unless something massively unexpected happens, I think the Lukaku situation is a win-win for us. Either we keep him and he continues scoring or we sell him for £50+ million. The one area where no-one can really criticise RM is transfers so I trust him to replace Lukaku either with an equally good player or with several players.
I think our Lukaku situation is the same as Liverpool's Suarez situation - who do you replace a goal machine with?
The only logical answer is "another goal
machine". But who?

And even if you can find one how much will they cost now that we apparently have money along with increased financial competition in the league.
And how much in wages and what clauses in contract to join a bottom half club if they even will

Hopefully we will get 72 points.

How many did we get last season? Does that and this season so far total 72?
Quite. We had a top striker and we wasted him.
He'll be the best in the world one day.

I think you're right on both points. The landscape has clearly changed. And hopefully the boards expectations will start to match those of the supporters. The targets set for any future managers of Everton will be higher than the previous two.

Not sure? My math is bad, but 72 is the magic number.
