The Everton Board Thread 2015/16 [ Not takeover related ]

[blulouie]

No one knows his condition, should leave all gossip out.

This is a place to discuss the pros and cons of the board not speculate on peoples health

Ok fella.

 

[joey_macmo]

In what world is going from relegation contenders for how many years to competing towards the top end of the table for europe, and in europe itself a decline? Please enlighten me.

He joined the board in 89 then became chairman in the summer of 04. We were not relegation candidates every year before either stage.

 

[Blue Truth]

Bill is probably one of the nicest guys you can meet as well as being a top Blue, fact is though he doesnt have the money or the know how to successfully run a Football Club.

I've read the exact opposite of the nice guys part.

 

[Blue Cheese]

I find it very distasteful when people put up these kind of rumours. He is still a human being with family and friends and I'm sure that they wouldn't like to read such things.

 

[Number_25]

I really hope these are just rumors.

I might believe that Kenwright is holding us back as a club, but I don't wish that kind of death upon anyone.

Kenwright is a true blue, nobody can argue against that.

 

[royvernon39]

No need for that bs especially in times like this.

What is your problem? having an opinion that you do not share on a thread dealing with the Everton Board?

If the Controllers thought the thread inappropiate l suppose they would have discontinued it. Meanwhile get your head out of your backside and debate the issues.

If the current board are culpable now then he's culpable for the decline from the great late 80's side to relegation contenders.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Nothing wrong with what hes said

Tone is disrespectful

I am assuming - like many of us - that BK is in serious condition so your first sentence in that comment sets the tone and it's bit childish and tasteless even.

 

[Ihaters]

Think I made my point badly.. He turned us around from where we were when he was just a board member.
The chairman plays a key role, and before Kenwright stepped up to the big job we were in actual decline as opposed to this 'not really in decline' decline that people rant about.. Since he became the boss, we have very clearly been in the ascendency.

The board however have done nothing at all to help that I am aware of.

While he was a board member we declined massively, to which we still haven't (and probably never ever will) get back to.

 

[Toffeelover]

Perhaps his business acumen was not what it should have been to push the club forward more but his heart has always been in Everton FC and has largely held the club together supporting as much as possible the two managers under his stewardship. Their are reports of illness and I wish him a speedy recovery.

 

[Chang Elephant]

Kenwright is a true blue, nobody can argue against that

Many Evertonians can and do argue against that however

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Many Evertonians can and do argue against that however

Only a complete flute would argue that he wasn't a genuine blue

 

[Muggins]

According to Evertons official site..

http://www.evertonfc.com/content/club/shareholders-association/list-of-shareholders


Kenwright owns 9,044 shares.

John Woods owns 6,622 shares.

Robert Earl owns 8,146 shares.

The remaining 11,188 out of the total 35,000 shares of the club are owned by "other shareholders".

I don't know, but am curious why the "other shareholders" don't club together and find a buyer who would then become a majority shareholder??

I have little to no knowledge of this sector and legalities etc but would love to know if it is actually possible.

Of course it's much easier to point at one man because he is the chairman I suppose.
