Remembering Bill Kenwright

[The binman chronicles]

He was very badly wrong with thinking that.

I think he thought he was the best person for the job and that through his network he would eventually find the funds to take us on.

In some way Moyes' success (comparative success obviously) had him believe we weren't too far from the top and that kept him in position longer. Had Gary Megson came in then likely we would have lost our top flight status early on and Kenwright would have been run out of town then. He wanted to be front and centre when we lifted a trophy, without thinking that was slipping further and further away.

He should have left before 2010 (should have walked over hot coals to woo the Arabs) and definitely when Moshiri bought in. History would have been much kinder to him had he done either.

When you see how ignorant many posters are about the cancer that was Bill Kenwright's corrosive effect on the club, you can see why so many aspire to no more than "stability" and mid-table "safety", prizing what becomes a pointless "Premier League status" when it never amounts to anything but making up the numbers.

Or one can see how much of a dire effect he had on the club over 2 decades before selling to someone equally dire and us now having to start essentially from scratch as a Premier League entity.

That goes without saying. It's the only reason Moyes is in the job. For now.

Best thing he did was not selling our soul to the UAE

I thought about my reply to this.

I read so many comments which re-write history on this cancer.

So i used search and found my answer... from me. 4 years ago.




Can't stand the fella.

Overseen as Chairman

1. The Longest barren spell for trophies in our entire history
Set a precedent of "little old Everton"

2. Let his own ego get in the way of multiple dealings such as Kings Dock, Sheikh Mansour

3. Lied about the state of Goodison in order to try to scaremonger fans into "Project Kirkby"

4. Sold off every asset of the club including the training ground, catering facilities and merchandise rights

5. Sold the club to the only person who'd keep him on the board
Built up a boys club, where we're run by "nice" people instead of driven people, where figures from the barren spell such as Unsworth, Ferguson, Jeffers (ffs!) are given jobs. That mentality breeds.

6. Fortress Money, Planet Hollywood scandals

7.Nearly getting us in administration, and crying in the press about "his boy" Rooney

22 years, and we've regressed, been lied to and basically turned into a laughing stock. The reality is that David Moyes, and not Blue Bill, kept the club afloat, and if it weren't for Moyes, we'd have probably been languishing in the lower leagues now.

He's a parasite on the club, and whilst I'm sure he's a nice enough fella behind the scenes, needs to realise that Everton Football Club is more than a train set to fans like ourselves, it's our passion. He needs to go so Moshiri can actually get his affairs in order and appoint business who can actual run a football club.


Since then, Bill has paaaed away, and i wish sincere rrgards to his family. But a man responsonle for our languish gets F all from me.

Its why Moyes in 2025 is good enough? Its why 99% of us turn down a CL Run, for Europa Conference?

I Am 33 years of age and for the first time, i feel relaxed and upbeat. I trust TFG, bill? Well... i cant use curse words, so thabk lord hes no lobger associated.

Ironically, the "Good Times" are coming, but not by a fluke.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

That goes without saying. It's the only reason Moyes is in the job. For now.

It needs to be said for balance.

 

[riddick]

Can we at least admit the man who "wouldnt stop until he found a better owner" suspending AGMs was a poor look?

Everything that can be said about him has been said.

 

[Drico]

It needs to be said for balance.

Only if by "balance" you mean we should have a life sentence of Moyes managing the club.

His job will be done by the summer. Stability will have been achieved.

Only when he departs - with our good wishes and thanks - will Bill Kenwright truly be gone.

Good job we’ve moved ground because Goodison will soon fail its safety certificate…

Spot on back then
And spot on now
Still and will always be the biggest cancer the clubs ever known

what a very poor choice of words.

Up to you but I'd rather be celebrating all those trophies and having a world class football team to watch. We would still be us and probably troll the owners harder than most.
