The chairman runs the club by definition, as shown multiple times. So any misspend or poor decision has occured under his stewardship. Stop trying to defend your hero by deflecting everything on to the absent owner who has barely attended a game since taking over and has left the same serial failure/liar in charge..... you're simply playing along with Kenwright's age old strategy of deflection and divide and conquer.
During his tenure, the club has been hollowed out to a shell of its former self on every metric. Moyes papered over the process for over a decade by managing a pitiful budget (zero budget), to put a decent team on the pitch despite Kenwright and certainly not because of him. We won nothing!
By the time Kenwright HAD to sell, because the wolves were still at the door and there was nothing left to sell off. We had been left behind by all our peers and taken over by several more besides.... stumbling down the income league. Our property assets were stripped to the bone, our debts were mounting and our stadium issues had still not been even remotely addressed. A process that mysteriously saw him acquire a controlling shareholding that his personal wealth could never have possibly afforded... by various dubious connections and scheming.... while the manager had to continually sell to buy in league awash with money! He delivered nothing and added no value!
Kenwright did better....? Kenwright sold our future to stay in charge, and should've been run out of town 20yrs ago after the Kings Dock debacle, then again after trying to please his loan masters with Kirkby, then again after multiple farcical AGM lies like Samuelson and FSF..... and ofcourse the cancellation of AGMs, because shareholders had long since gotten wise to the endless lies exposed over time. Moshiri is not without blame.... he kept feeding the lunatic his money and expected a different outcome. He's almost certainly only a frontman for USM and we are a sideshow in his/their world. Money is no object to them, easy come easy go..... it may yet be our undoing regards stadium or other debts. However, Kenwright has been running the show and has not uttered a word of dissent about the owner. So he is either complicit, a useless chairman or both... take your pick, but rest assured he's majorly responsible for this mess and all of the previous well documented ones of the last 20+yrs.
The continous defence based only on Moyes' relative achievements had no substance at the time..... it certainly has none now.
