Hopefully you'll see generally i am critical but i do try to be fair and I'm not using it to hammer him but what I'm saying is that if he got as far as he did its obvious we weren't really looking into his suitability as owner or long term plans. we needed to know if he had the dough and when we thought he did we were happy and when we thought he didn't we killed the deal. It's also almost verbatim a story that Murray put out about rangers , he was in a hotel room but he just knew this bloke 'wasn't right' and pulled the deal. Given he sold to whyte we can assume that story was complete BS.

After years of it sitting there with no one willing to pay what you want though?
Surely you'd just take what you can get for it?
Unless you don't really want to sell it anyway.

The meeting began with a brief description of the campaign to date; that is wasn’t a mindless Kenwright out campaign, that it was a search for answers and a desire to find a solution to the perceived stagnation of the club.
Bill responded by explaining that nobody is a bigger Evertonian than he; that there was nothing he wouldn’t do to support the club and as an example explained that he’s the only blue to mortgage his house and has borrowed £10m. Having said all that he reinforced that he doesn’t want to be here, he wants to sell; but, he stated, “How can I get out and leave my Football Club?”

No I largely agree. I think the fact the no mark in the flat got anywhere at all is ridiculous. Its a failure of the screening process for sure but does not have any bearing on who Kenwright would or would not sell to.

When you say "the meeting" I take it you mean the Blue Union meeting?
It is completely wrong to take something that was said there - in a private meeting - as a stick to beat him with. I've used that expression myself but I wouldn't want it as a public signature.

It was arguably him at his most honest though.

People keep trotting out this line about it being private. It wasn't.
And kenwright knew that was the case.

Can you prove that?
Can you disprove it? Come on mate less of the 'prove it' nonsense. You must of read the transcript even though you think it is morally wrong, he was telling them to write it down etc, but then again I can't find the proof he said that but I trust the BU more than BK.
Bill, “I’m with you; I’ll be your president……sell the club…did you write it down for me?

I can barely read this thread. It's sould destroying to know some blues care more about the reputation of a proven liar than the welfare of the club that literally means the world to most of us.
Thats how I feel, and sad to say I stopped going the match this season. I think the clapping for Bill at the Villa game was enough for me.
I doubt I will be back until the current regime have gone.

Because without proof it's nothing more than sh!t stirring that helps nobody. I've re-read that transcript and at no point was Kenwright saying - go on tell everyone to call me "the world's biggest Evertonian". That's bollocks.
My point is that the Board's opponents would have so much more success if they stuck to clear facts and didn't try and paint Kenwright as the Devil himself. He's nothing of the sort. I absolutely believe he's a decent man but it's so easy to try and look hard and act all disgruntled that our club isn't up there an winning titles. Kenwright's the easy target when the truth is so much harder to digest. There was a period of decay following Heysel and the title winning teams that took Everton back into the pack.
