That’s just the tip of the iceberg Tel.
Kenwright would have a best selling book if he were ever to publish his true and unsensored Everton memoirs!
Got one of these myself, wasn't taken aback by the comments but more by the use of multiple fonts within the same letter, that's just not on.

Our club was in a financial mess long before P. Johnston assumed control let alone Kenwright.
Always think it’s strange how Carter is virtually deified amidst the vilification of Kenwright.
As Moore’s placeman he was present throughout our long decline and was a prime mover in the formation of the Premier League, which didn’t favour us one iota.

Dear Bill, Where's the money? Makes a welcome change from Where's the money Bill?
Was it £40m per year? I keep seeing these fees but it would have to have been higher than that for a stadium, no?

Think we had to find something like 35m to show we had the funds to go forward.
The rest would have been in the form of loans, but cos we couldnt show ANY funding, nobody would lend us the dough or something, it was a long time ago now.
I forgot how "cheap" everything was back then.. jebus..
Think that’s all we had to chip in . Has to secure 40m cash ourselves for it to happen

People have to remember that Everton had massive pull back then. We had won something not that long ago and had won the league just over a decade ago. Bit like say Arsenal - I know slightly different as they got three FA cups recently, plus the pull of CL football. We were also in the top 10 clubs in Europe when it came to spending on players in the mid nineties. This was not an impoverished club on it's hands and knees that some people think. If he got someone in half decent early on that he was willing to share with, things could have been very different.
Problem is we continued to trade on just the name alone and Bill wanted to have a firm hand on the tiller. It's hard not to like Bill for being a fan that he is, but in equal measure he was able to find a buyer (actually a few) pretty sharpish when he was ill. Could he have done that sooner, only he knows.

Except, it was right there the whole time. Paul and Anita Gregg offered to put that cash up, in exchange for more control, and Kenwright refused. Whether it was a good thing long term or not, we will never know, and with the congestion in and around the arena when there's an event, I dread to think what it would be like with 5 times the amount of people there on a weekly basis.
But we will never know.
I like Bill
Could he have done a better job? Absolutely, but I think his heart was in the right place most of the time
You can critique his ability as chairman without attacking him personally

The thing with him is that I believe stuff like that is genuine as well
He's proper cringe as you say, but he does it with such sincerity that I can't help but like it

“ Bill can do what Woods does”. That would be perfect, Woods never says a word, can you imagine Kenwright sitting there like Woods and not uttering a single sound. Heaven.
