In comparison to which clubs?

What we get matches our media image & profile.

You know when people moan about the lies in the Mirror, about how the media seems to think of us as a stepping stone to a Sky darling? Well these stories have a direct effect on how we are perceived and on what companies offer us for sponsorships.

I doubt Elstone is turning down better deals & offers.

I'm as clear headed as I am every day.

Kenwright: poison from the day he walked in on Christmas Eve 1999.

15 years of utter failure.

No trophies
No stadium
No investment

An utter charlatan surrounded by flunkies and controlled from outside the club by spivs he allowed to pollute it.

As said: the most shameful character in Everton's 136 year history.

Its a fair point, can you give him praise for decent managerial appointments?

I always think that's a nonsensical point. Hiring a manager is a pig in a poke process. You either land one that is up to the job (and you only find that out by their taking it up) or you dont.

More revealing on managerial appointments, therefore, was Kenwright's decision to give an obviously out of his depth Walter Smith a contract extension.

Yeah, i always find it such an odd rebuttal to all his failings as a chairman.

He's not gonna deliberatly hire a bad manager is he?

It's like giving credit to a footballer for passing the ball 5 yards to a team mate and then that team mate scoring a 35 yarder after beating 4 players.

The Kings Dock

Kings Dock is a mute point. The club needed to stump up the cash to get the project under way, but didn't have any. Everyone knows the club was skint. A bit has been squirreled away for just this purpose, as has been mentioned many a time.

With the use of naming rights etc, there will be money to put into a new stadium. They do not need to have the full amount to hand to start building. It all gets market down as Capital investment, and can be paid off over a period of years, so it wont damage the cash flow of the club too much. What they need is to show there is a demand of tickets to come see the blues. The difference between now and then is that we are a top 6 team year in year out. It is that stability that will get us the money for the stadium. Also the increase in season ticket holders in the past 2 years, plus the number of sell out games recently, shows there is a demand. So, new stadium, more seats. We have the fans who will show up and will fill a larger stadium.

The increased revenue from the PL added to the increased seating and the increase corporate boxes etc, will pay off the stadium.

Walton Park can happen.
 

Dave you seriously need to look around around you at all the football clubs in England. Most clubs that have been the subject of takeovers are far worse for the experience with the exception of Chelsea and Man City.

Everton are a top five club , that is no mean achievement and yes it is difficult to win trophies when you are competing with the multimillion spending budgets of City,Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal. Even our lovable neighbours from across the park have turned into also rans because financially they can't compete.The majority of clubs are in a far worse position than we are.

Bill Kenwright is guilty of not being a mega rich man, but then how many of us are that wealthy ? During his tenure how much worse off are we than at any stage in the last fifty years.
I remember Everton winning the title in season 1969/70 and in that season we were definitely NSNO. Then after that we were modest for another thirteen/fourteen year. We had a purple patch during the eighties when we were the best around, we won the F.A cup in 1995 when we definitely were notthe best around and from then on we fell into a football and financial morass.
In the last five or six years we are now being talked about as genuine top four contenders.

Yes, I would love us to have unlimited transfer budgets and a shiny new ground and off field earning capabilities similar to Man Utd, but we haven't and that goes back long before Bill Kenwright.
I have been supporting Everton since before 1970 , in that time we have been NSNO for probably no more than six or seven years cumulatively.

If you seriously believe that Bill Kenwright has been a poison to Everton, then I can only disagree.

He's poison for this precise reason: for the first time in 124 years the future of this club belongs in the hands of people who are outside of it. He took the decision when the Gregg challenge came to do a deal with the devil to remain in the hot seat. That's been at the back of every major decision since it occurred in 2004. That's the major difference between his reign of power and all others preceding it. We dont control our own destiny on matters of a sale or stadium schemes pursued. Everton fought against that back in the 1890s and won. Kenwright's greatest impact on Everton history has been to shackle us again to outside control.

I've said it hundreds of times on here: Bill Kenwright is the greatest villain in Everton's history since John Houlding.

I think the jury is still out on roberto,at the moment he's still using a massive percentage of moyes players and some of his own signings have been lets just say 'questionable'

So when this percentage leave or just become too old and they are replaced by Roberto's own signings and if it goes belly up I think blue bill will receive all the credit for the appointment of our current manager
