It's probably not an unfair thing to say.
Even Bill Kenwrights biggest detractors have to admit that he is a lifelong blue. It could even be argued that it is this deep association with the club that makes him want to stay involved.
It will almost certainly be true also the next Everton owner will be looking at the club as a commercial proposition. They are unlikely to concern themselves over the part players like David Lawson , Dai Davies or Jim Pearson played in our clubs history. That may not be a bad thing.
The one thing that I do feel certain about is that Bill Kenwright will try to sell the club to the person/group that will give the best chance of success going forward as he sees it.
There are an awful lot of bad owners out there and my biggest fear is to have to read posts from people like Davek longing for the days of Bill Kenwright...because then we will really be screwed.
God forbid we end up in the hands of an asset stripper like say Phillip Green because then we will be truly screwed but rest assured Saint Bill will never let that happen because he is an Evertonian

Yeah mate, because Bill's really stripped the club bare and is creaming a fortune off the top isn't he?
Oh wait.
He bought the club for £20 million and is selling it for £225 million in the words of Dell Trotter "Ive had worse days"

The club's assets have been mortgaged up to the hilt, we no longer own our own training ground and the club is saddled with significant long term loans.
As from creaming a fortune off the top, Bill will make a fair whack more than his original investment when he finally sells up.

The new TV deals make things look very different. Prior to the new TV deals, we were having to sell off 10 million pounds worth of assets each season in order to keep the club going, and that was on top of the increased debt and sale of the training ground under Kenwright.

You said asset stripping, there's been no assets liquidated that have resulted in cash leaving the business into the stakeholders pockets.
You've merely come back with a statement that as it stands is subjective tripe
So you think that the current majority shareholders at the club are not there to make money? We dont even know who really owns the club

That's not true though mate is it? The ownership of the club is clearly stated in the annual report and accounts, signed off by the auditors.
For the ownership to be different than publicly stated would involve a conspiracy (and criminal act) of huge proportions that has taken place over more than a decade.
