The Everton Board Thread (Inc. Bill Kenwright / Blue Union)

[steken1]

The quotes i posted were from a Daily Mail interview, not the recorded conversation with the Blue Union.

That came about from the transcript.

Eh ??

 

[Toffeelover]

As well as that fiasco remember FSF.

 

[nsno-chris]

Erm, no. My entire point is that Kenwright is so clueless he only discovered the guy lived in a bedsit at the last minute. Please keep up.

Keep up?? haha. He never, end of discussion, your statement was bull.

 

[Steve Wigan]

Keep up?? haha. He never, end of discussion, your statement was bull.

Exactly right. This is why its difficult to have a serious debate about the Everton ownership with some people. I sometimes think that some Evertonians (not doubting that they are good Evertonians, at least in the passion department) are descended from the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson.

didn't some guy con some other big club a number of years ago. it went as far as him signing the dotted line until he in fact confessed he was actually broke etc... It was years ago i remember seeing it on one of them season reviews on SKY.

So its not impossible to make someone think you are rich and have the necessary fund to do a deal. Not sure what most of these loons hope to achieve when they do this though

Michael Knighton "bought" United with the 23p in his Savings Account.

I think Steve and Chris are just reminding us that Bill has form for "lying" and that we should remember that when judging whatever comes out of his front orifice. Good reminder lads.

He was the only feller that Bill almost sold the club to after 10 years, as far as we know.

Everyone else hasn't even got that far.

Must have ran out of millionaires.

He never what, lad ?

No, it's Kenwright who loves his fairy tales.

'Goodison is going to fail it's safety certificate soon, we must flee to the wondrous Kirkby megadome'

With the Batman lights, don't forget them.

The lads over at SOS posted these on twitter last night...

School of Science ‏@SOS1878 8h So it turns out Fulham's new owner came in for #EFC first before diverting his attention to West London. Strange that.

School of Science ‏@SOS1878 7h
The interest in #EFC was very much genuine from Khan, which is why paperwork arrived at the club's lawyers Hill Dickinson.

School of Science ‏@SOS1878 7h
Why it turned to **** and he is now owner of Fulham is anyone's guess. What is certain is that Everton was the club he approached

Ive known Joe and Stav for years, we were all originally banned from NSNO at the same time, they went on to start theyre own website, i couldnt be ar5ed. Anyway, they make no bones about hating BK and the board and seem to beleive that this guy genuinely wanted to buy us, when it couldnt happen he bought fulham.

The phrase ive heard BK use more often than not is 'Looking for investment' which to me means, im hoping to find someone to pump millions in to the club and let me stay as chairman and take all the credit - NEVER going to happen. I hate him and the board and the only way he leaves goodison is in a box

 

[nsno-chris]

He never what, lad ?

I'll draw you a picture, it may help seeing as you have trouble understanding the basics of what I've just explained.

Not at all; i know the failings, i'm well aware. What I don't like is people spouting utter drivel (like them Blue Union divs), with no knowledge of business. You have facts and fiction, a lot of people don't deal with facts when it comes to this thread. For instance, the amount of times BK has been vilified for a decision regarding the day-to-day operation (such as outsroucing) of the business, everyone jumpos on the bandwagon when the biggest thing that is always over looked is them decisions are down to the CEO.

I guarantee that if I started 2 twitter rumours; one stating that BK saved us form administration by doing something and the second that BK made a personal profit by the outsourcing of our assets, which one would make it onto this forum and be believed by the majority even though both are untrue.

This stuff about Khan wanting Everton first is a load of tosh and proves what people want to believe; there is no way he wanted Everton first. If people think he's going to turn Fulham into some powerhouse then you are thick, its a personal investment that is going to have some other benefits to him
