The burden of proof doesn't lie with me mate.

I was just messing about. No one can prove much of anything and everything's open to interpretation. Which IMO is the exact situation the board have created to suit them.

Can I ask why not? He employed him, why is he not accountable?

Chucking around nonsense conspiracy theories from years ago does nothing to further the cause for change now though imo.
The focus should be on the here and now. So Lerner has appointed Merrill Lynch to help find a buyer, should that prove fruitful and lead to a buyer being found quickly, then the question needs to be put to Kenwright and Co. as to why they don't engage them, instead of whatever method they're supposedly currently using. When nothing comes back, then another media campaign via social media, blogs, e-mailing TS, the press etc etc asking them to pose the same question, should be drive. Let's get the focus back on this weird (or not so weird) 'conundrum' as to why no one has come in for us, after all this time.......
I am confused.
If Lerner did approach Kenwright and got knocked back,is that a good or a bad thing?
Football clubs are huge companies with enormous turnovers. Football is a business.
The manager obviously is vital , but the running of the football club is as important.
It is where both sides of the club are being well run that a club prospers.
At Everton ,that is largely the case and consequently our club is performing well.
It's not perfect,as with many others I feel there are opportunities not being taken to market the Everton brand
to it's full potential.
But there is a lot right about the way the club is run.
I regard myself as a middle of the road supporter. I do not blindly support the board ,but equally I do not blindly call for change as some do with no idea of what the change will bring just so long as it isn't called Kenwright.

Love how someone can tell you something is tosh because they don't believe it...
That is the only 100% privvy piece of info I have ever been given from a 100% reliable source. We were first choice, Villa second and West Ham third... he was sent packing.
Lerner approached to have a meeting around discussing the potential sale, he didn't even get his foot in the door... "not interested". But Kenwright expects us to believe that he spoke to a person who turned out that lived in a one bedroom flat???
He has no interests in selling at a reasonable price until he has had enough.
The manager is responsible for player recruitment and is given that "freedom" - unless you think that the Flavio Briatore method of dictating who his manager should buy, select etc etc is the right way to be a chairman/owner?
Ultimately MON behaved like a spoilt kid, was reigned in by Lerner and spat his dummy out. MON didnt desrve such a supportive chairman. £200m he spent...

I love how someone posts hearsay from a source that's deemed as 100% reliable, despite never having given them any other similar 'privvy' info......and it's expected to be taken as bona fide fact....
Believe what you like mate, it ultimately makes no odds anyway, but you can't post it as fact, as you can't corroborate it.

Its a strange one mate as he hired a manager who had a very good rep and a decebt rep for spending wisely, however no one coukd know that oneill qoul be so bad with it, a bit like moyes seemed to lose the plot with a big budget, think managing on a big finacial backing takes skills some otherwise sound managers lack, hopefully we will one day get a chance to see how bobby is with a large budget like.
Lerner cant be blamed though, he hired a very respected manager, game him 200m+, and gave him the time to suceed, he pulled the plug to save villa from imploding on wages, that was his mistake, he allowed oneill to run riot on players wages without enough oversight and control, but credit him for realising before too late and ordering it to be brought under control

Then is it not the chairmans responsibility to chose the right manager?
Kenwright did twice and we are now 5th best club in the land. Kenwright could of chosen MON and we would be in a somewhat worse position than we are now would we not?

Wow, fifth best club in the land!!
Where, was man city ten years ago?
Hafnia.
I am no doubting that Lerner asked about buying Everton. I am sure that he hasn't been the only one.
But, seeing the mess that Villa are in should we not be thanking Bill Kenwright that he rebuffed him.
My memory of Martin O Neill at Villa is slightly different to yours.
I remember Villa being talked about as a team on the periphery of CL under MON and yes the club spent a lot of money on players.
I remember Barry,Milner,Young being sold and the heart being ripped out of the team.
My memory was that Lerner had pumped money into the club and wanted some of his investment back.
This meant the funds from sales was not reinvested in new players. O Neill could not see a successful future for the club and walked.

There are probably half a dozen clubs in world football that have been taken over successfully by billionaires.
Everton is within a stones throw of a much bigger,much more successful neighbour, we have a ground which requires replacing and you want to know why the same hasn't happened to us as has happened to City.
Are you serious ?
