I think you're bang on here. After all it's well established Kenwright sent City's current owners away when they came knocking. Moshiri and Usmanov probably came to them with this arrangement that would keep Kenwright as the face of the operation. All the dodgy sponsors and all that aside it does line up perfectly and make total sense.
I've grown to look at it this way, Marcel Brands wasn't a success here but it is clear that he's at least somewhat ok at his job as he's gone back after us and found another job. Despite that though he was a board member that was effectively sacked and is the only one to have that treatment, despite him argueably being one of the more competent people that occupied that area of the club at the time, he was the only outsider though, easy scapegoat. He's also sparsely talked about his time at Everton and will likely have been made sign NDAs and the like to prevent him from spilling any beans.
The rest won't be gotten rid of because they "know how the sausage is made" so to speak, Everton is the end point for each of them as they know they're not here on merit or anything like that, it's a hush up club, shows again why they're all paid so well even with such little experience and poor results. Getting rid of Brands made no logical sense when the rest of them still remained, aside from him who's the last "outsider" to have any sort of influence at Everton, Elstone maybe?
Perhaps it's time we as fans maybe move on from seeing this board as simply incompetent fools and move more towards to seeing how genuinely sinister and criminal it all is. In keeping with everything else he's shown us as fans Kenwright went with the deal that was best for him and his mates, not for Everton. He'll be here until Moshiri isn't, they're tied together because if one goes the other has to follow considering the implications of whatever dodgy dealings they've done.
