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

[cymrublue]

A.. none of the is relevant..
B.. if it were relevant, you are saying he sacked Smith when he underperformed and bought in Moyes instead... but somehow make it sound like a negative.
C. Forgot to mention that as well as Smith and Martinez... he bought in Moyes.

Our increase in quality under Kenwright/Moyes was huge and amazingly overlooked by many of our fans.

And in all those years kenwright was in charge the only thing our trophy cabinet collected was dust.

Familiarity and breeding and all that.

I like what happened to Everton after Kenwright took control.. From what we were....

* We grew as a team
* We grew in the community
* We won all sorts of club based awards from catering to customer care
* We gained respect as a quality side nationally
* We stopped fearing relegation
* We became a team to be feared
* We started getting runs in Europe
* Then we sold to a billionaire.

There are far worse owners out there than BK

Mate i could counter that with twice as much bad hes done to this club.


Under him, we've sold the lot and won nothing.....

Defending Bill is very much over 30s behaviour @chicoazul

People wanna give Bill credit for record TV deals, without which, we would currently be sitting in League Two ground sharing with Tranmere Rovers.

Hell if Wayne Rooney wasnt born we would probably be an ex-club and I could finally go and support my true love of Chelsea.

I walked past Bill just before, he was boarding the train to Liverpool at Euston.

Apparently no progress under Bill

Before Bill took over in 99

1991-92 12th
1992-93 13th
1993-94 17th
1994-95 15th
1995-96 6th
1996-97 15th
1997-98 17th
1998-99 14th

More likely, people have forgotten how bad we actually were before Bill bought us Moyes (who was apparently a c**p manager according to many here)

Kenwright appointed Moyes and struck the deal with Moshiri, in my opinion the two most important men in Everton's premier league history. He deserves credit for that at least. Most of our peers without serious money in the same period have been relegated.

Newcastle, Leeds, Villa, Boro, Forest, Coventry, Wimbledon, Southampton, Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth, Leicester, Derby County, QPR, West Ham. All at one point were established premier league sides with some decent money to throw around. All have been relegated in the same period (some with devestating effect). Aside from the sky six we are the only ever presents in the league and in the same period have had cup runs, European football, and sold out to a billionaire who looks to be s perfect fit.

Bill Kenwright is far from perfect but as the list above shows there are far worse owners spending stupid money appointing stupid managers and genuinely ruining great clubs.

For a lot of those years the memo was just to stay in the Premier League, you forgot Wimbledon and Coventry? Before he took over the club was in a much worse state then it ever was under him.
The barren years have been shocking but if there is one thing we can't blame on Kenwright its winning nowt

[Ihaters]

you're easily pleased. no one feared us and how many runs in europe have we had under kenwright? dont think we've even gone as far as a q/f

Haha do I need to define a run in Europe now before we can credit the owner/manager with that particular achievement? How many games must we play before its considered a run and therefore allowable as evidence of progress?

Seeing forums where fans like Man City fans are saying oh s**t there's 3 points gone a week before we play them isn't fearing us? Did you believe some of the more outspoken members of this forum that kept telling us we were s**t during all those years.. We really were not.

You are right about something though... I am easily pleased, not as easily as one pot and then I don't care if we are constantly bottom half for a decade like your good self that doesn't see progress in all this, but yeah I spent the last decade or so happy to see us improving, be the first to break top 4, get to a cup final and maintain a near constant European place challenge.

He struck lucky with Moyes, as it was walter smith who recommended him. And I'm thankful Billy boy had the courage to appoint him (or maybe just the cheap option) If it wasnt for Moyes we would still probably be doing a Leeds in the lower leagues. It the only credit Bill deserves....

As for Moshiri, he had no choice.....nearly eveyone had, had enough f him. Remember he turned down the City an PSG owners......with his fake illness he had no choice but to accept. But after the summer transfer window the jury is very much till out on Moshiri

The only scourge I can see is Bill Kenwright
