How is it interesting?
How much of that is down to him and how much is down to the CEO? Would wager a lot of that was far more down to the CEO than Bill.

A lot of this thread's made up of kopites arguing a pro Kenwright point of view. They love him and I can't blame them for that.
He bought the club in the late 90s where an owners finances were far less of a factor now, so whilst that is true it wasn't relevant to the time he bought the club
Place is rammed full of them.
Name me an owner of a top club as skint as Bill then

If you closely scrutinized most premiership clubs financial position, I'm sure you could pick holes with quite a few clubs at the moment, life isn't perfect and it will only improve with a bigger stadium with the potential to create more revenue.
But the criticism aimed towards Bill Kenwright is painful at times, where it's obvious that people have an general dislike and no matter what he does or says he simply can't win.
I go back to Walter Smith's time and the squad he had at his disposal, it was woeful at best, Bill takes a gamble with Moyes and it worked out pretty well, far stronger squad, hard too beat and youth system generating fresh talent.
Bill should be given credit for bringing Moyes & Martinez, he should also be given credit for the way he conducted himself during the last transfer window, 27 million for Fellaini was unbelievable, standing firm over Baines, years ago that wouldn't have happened, Baines would have been sold and signing James McCarthy for 13 million which has turned out to be a shrewd signing. .
Again Bill got criticized during the Martinez press conference regarding Champs League, why shouldn't he say that, regularly finishing in the top 6/7 year in year out, we should be aiming for 4th/3rd place and it's looking pretty good at the moment.
I'm happy with Bill and the direction the club has taken working with the community & supporters, our club is rich in history and we should all be proud of that, unless someone can provide me with a list of active multi millionaires that are currently searching to buy an premier league, because I can't think of any and apart from Man City the other foreign ownerships have been farcical at times during the creation of the EPL.
I've mentioned this before when we've enjoyed decent runs/results, why does the Blue Union go quiet, no planned demonstrations etc, surely if you have strong convictions about the way your club is run then current good runs/performances should not hinder your cause. Facts are majority of supporters are happy how the club is run, that's not to say we'd like more money to improve our squad, but wouldn't we all like to have more money in our own pockets, simple fact is we all make do with what we have got and most work hard for it and same goes for Everton FC.

In England, would have said Lerner a few years ago but he seems to be spending a bit recently
So no one then
Outside of England there are many, Milan clubs, Roma, Valencia, atletico - pretty much everyone bar bayern, Dortmund, real and barca
Delia Smith is not filthy rich, and Norwich are a much better run club than us.
Even on the last set of accounts they published their turnover is 5 million pounds below us. Amazing really considering they are a yoyo club really. No debt as well, club actually makes a profit. More modern stadium than ours, own its training facilities as well. Its the prize money that keeps our turnover above theirs.
So a club like Norwich is out performing us off the pitch, rather embarrassing really.

Firstly, Happy Boxing Day! Season of Goodwill still, so try not to get too riled up by whatever follows:
He means that the criticisms back then have proven to be unfounded.
Bluddy 'ell...£4.50? And have wages also increased sixfold in that time?
sarcy/ Must be Bill's fault that tickets are so expensive now. Definitely not to his credit that he's kept ticket prices lower than our competitors in order to ensure locals can still (just about) afford to go. /endsarcy
Thank you. Me too.
This is the idiotic logic of the anti-Bill crowd, foaming at the mouth shouting "kopite!" at real blues who support a blue running Everton.
You just can't have a coherent debate with people like that.
Good words, mate...this thread needs a post like that from time to time.
I suggest we all offer Bill Kenwright the amnesty of two more transfer windows, as a show of appreciation for the consistent stability he's brought and for the fine football under Martinez.
If, after the summer window, we've not improved our squad, then let's resume the criticism.
But badgering Bill now? It stinks of anti-Evertonian behaviour.
