Bill Kenwright

….just perhaps, this is the first window that Kenwright hasn’t interfered.

if that is the case, we’re being asked to thank him for doing nothing.

You know as well as everyone else that's pure nonsense.

Not sure City ownership were ever really interested to be honest mate.

People look at Kings dock with misty eyes as well and forget the detail of the deal, I remember it well, if we moved there it was a mixed ownership arrangement, the club would only have owned 49% of the development and been a minority shareholder in the development and revenue on the stadium would have been shared with other key stakeholders of the development who controlled 51%. Ultimately it would have been a cracking stadium but probably a bad deal for the club, it would have been owned by a management company of which we would have had just a minority 49% stake.

The whole narrative around king dock has got so narrow over the years and much detail of the deal omitted or younger fans just don’t remember it and think we just didn’t get this brilliant stadium we would own outright for next to nothing, that would have made us really wealthy, when really that wasn’t the case at all. The deal was completely different.

Thats before you look at the reverse mortgage thing, which we rightly swerved, that ultimately scuppered the whole thing.

It was far more complex then is often portrayed.

Another issue a lot of younger fans dont get is how back then the money in the game was a fraction of what it is now, as an example a few months later United bought Ronaldo, the fee was 12m, ok we couldn't find the money, but that was understandable, besides Kings Dock might not have benefited us that much anyway, just look at how many clubs back then did move and went backwards.
As for the City owners thing, if they really wanted us they would of made a real move on the club, they didnt

Koff. One half decent transfer window doesn't suddenly wipe out 33 years of ineptitude from this bloke. Just goes to show how some are far too easily pleased and why we won't be a big club again anytime soon.

If you want to talk about ineptitude head over to the Moshiri thread

WE HAVNT EVEN SEEN OUR NEW PLAYERS PLAY YET FFS

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Bill needs to go away and let the dust settle

I think people may soften on him in time, but how can we miss him if he won't go away?

 

[matty1878]

he should be apologetic to us. he’s an inept joke of a chairman who’s nearly wrecked us

27 years of f all

Ineptitude was happening at this club long before he came on the scene.

I know man, 40 years of ineptitude its a joke...

Was handed a mess, and did his best to make it better whilst making it worse.
Spin and lies dont do him any favours and his soundbites are just cringworthy.
We're a fickle bunch though and had we won a few cups don't think that he would shoulder the same amount of blame.
The fact he is a Blue has bought him ample more goodwill than he deserves.
Unfortunately, once the stadium is built, that and any success that can be deemed to stem from that, will always be attributed partly towards him by his advocates, despite the fact without Moshiri, or someone like him, it would never have happened.

I'm looking forwards to the days when he is no longer involved and can no longer be a distraction or an interference to what really matters which is getting this club back to the very top.

It's time for a certain sect of GOT to swallow humble pie and admit Ken got it Wright by picking mosh and being our chairman.

This window has smeared egg upon the faces of the ingreats.

The floor is yours.. buckos.

The phrase - "In a pigs 'kin ear" springs to mind

You're a Bill Kenwright bot.

 

[anton66]

Next time I clap him is when he’s left. BTW I’ve never clapped him.

Won’t back down will he I have to give him that

I don't really see why anyone would clap him one way or the other really. He is not a player or anything. It would be like clapping someone from the box office.
