The Everton Board Thread

[catcherintherye]

With respect mate, all that is speculation and it's stacked up against the stated intention that Kenwright carries on in a transitional period with the board in state of flux.

Of course it is. I have no insider knowledge, but it's my opinion. This transition will last a long longer than people think. There will always be an excuse not to get rid of him, even after 2 horrendous relegation fights.

That would be a miscalculation.

We've heard it from Moshiri he's here in the short term. People like Myers are underlining that message.

I see no possibility of Kenwight staying on beyond incoming personnel to the board form MSP.

For all of our sanity’s let’s hope so.

 

[BNJ1878]

When do you see him going, and what is going to be the catalyst for this mate?

I used the 'unsure' emoji because that my answer.

Moshiri is clearly a fool. If he hasn't seen through Bill for all this time he's hardly likely to now.

You mention Kenwrights great mate, Downing. Is he even 100% involved with MSP? All I've seen is speculation and people joining the dots. Bell has thrown in money.

The document submitted to the SEC mentioned (I think) 16 partners. How much say would Downing have if indeed he has thrown in? MSP manages the fund on the investors behalf, each individual party has no guarantee of a voice in the business.

MSP are serious operators. It's possible they don't give a stuff about Everton, but they definitely see it as a way to make money. They can't asset strip as we're not a superclub. The only way to make money is make us 'better.'

Once the MSP money arrives, if they say "we want xxxx as Chairman" they'll get him/her. Moshiri seemingly can't finish the stadium without them, they're his exit strategy once it's built. Either they take over or Moshiri/MSP find a third party and everyone is happy.

Even if he stays on (undesirable, obviously) he'll be completely cuck.

After 20+ years yesterday showed me his time is up.

It's literally impossible for him to be seriously described in such glowing terms.

All depends on how much influence a £130m contribution buys, when it's down for the stadium.

I hope Kenwright's influence is on the wane, but it's premature to suggest he will be removed as Chairman in a few weeks. This is an interim board, but we cannot be sure of the composition of the next board.

I don't doubt MSP will have a say, and they may attempt to exert influence beyond what their investment merits, but does that extend to handpicking both the Chairman and/or CEO? Moshiri remains in control and we know his stance on BK beyond any doubt.

But really the business is about transfers now. MSP weren't going to change the dial positively on that, so I hope they can all get down to doing some actual, productive work.

That's a complete misreading of events IMO.

We know that a new CEO will be hired and that job alone when competently filled will transform the club. The chairmanship will be an irrelevancy and Kenwright will shuffle off. That'd be my guess.

The fixation with Kenwright has to stop. He's going and anyone mithering themselves with him should know better.

Is it a complete misreading? Let's hope it is. But after decades of lies, dissembling, gaslighting, expectation management, and venal self-aggrandisement at the expense of this club and its fans, I'll believe it only when he is gone. Moshiri gets no benefit of the doubt from anybody applying even a modicum of critical thinking. He hasn't earned it.

A summer of Kenwright overseeing transfers awaits...

He's not going to the exit door mate. His brexit loving mate Downing is coming in as well.

What's your opinion on Bell & Downing mate ?

I got pelters for calling it as it appears to be - more jobs for the boys.

The more time passes the more it feels MSP are more of the same.

If what you say is true it's hardly surprising.

People like to do business with those of a similar ilk.

 

[Davideeyore]

Until last week, Moshiri still had the reluctant and tacit support of the majority of the fanbase.

Until last week?

He's been a complete loon the only thing that has given him any grace with the fans is the money input. He's done a lot of damage says a lot rubbish meddles with the transfers etc is completely out of touch and still can't read the room over Kenwright

Yes, that's what I am referring to: the money input. Reasonable people deduce that he always put his hand in his - or somebody else's - pocket but that his decision-making is imbecilic. Reasonable people also deduced that we were in all likelihood stuck with him until the stadium was built. We did not have to be stuck with Kenwright, who is simply a parasite embedded into the fabric of the club. But by failing to act to extract the parasite, any "benefit of the doubt" Moshiri got has disappeared. We know we are stuck with him, but he has no goodwill whatsoever now. He is no longer a generous bumbling incompetent. He is - at the very least - a compromised bumbling incompetent. Simply put, he has frittered away the last vestige of sympathy he had. There will be no improvement in this club's fortunes until he and the tick are excised.

I dont understand the fixation on Kenwright.

I've always mistrusted him and wanted him gone. However, I dont get the level of anger still about for someone who clearly is leaving the club in the near future. We can put up with that for a few more weeks.

The heart wants what the heart wants

Kenwright out and expunged from the records. Then I can focus on whether we can finally land Kenwyne Jones and which dodgy businessmen are moving in

I can't take anyone seriously who keep him around.

They are the wrong owners and need to go. I thought that would be quite obvious by now re Bill.

Jobs for the boys.

People want it to be better, and I get that. I'm not trying to have a go at people. But there is an onus on people to tell the truth, however unpalatable. It's continuation. We are going nowhere as a club.

Well, there was a possible distinction between the words 'interim' used for a few director's positions and 'transition period' used to describe Kenwright's status. That could possibly mean different time lines.

But I think we have to take this at face value: the old guard have gone / are going and the situation is in flux.
