A Message from Bill Kenwright to Evertonians on the club website

[Ashtonian]

The problem with Bill is who he represents.

As a football chairman in the general sense he is great, pours his heart out, supports the club and manager and does things in our interest.

Away from the public and combined with the board it is an entirely different discussion sure but on the public side of it he is great.

at least he doesn't get involved in public knowledge like other people do, you don't get a sky sports article with him announcing or passing opinion on something like other chairmen.

I look at some of the muppets in charge of football clubs around the UK and it makes you realise just how lucky we are as Evertonians to have someone who really cares about the club at the head of it.
We may all moan about him from time to time and yes we all know he is looking for investment 24\7 even if its not fourth coming but it's better the devil you know !

 

[Phenom]

Like putty in his hands.

Ahem Dave Whelan

I'll care about this stuff when we're not bang in the middle of a transfer window.

 

[teameverton]

It's rousing speeches like this that totally make me overlook the fact that he has overseen the sale of every possible asset that we had.

Bravo I say.

Have not got a clue what you are on about, but thanks for that message Bill.

Greatest Living Evertonian.

The thing is, an asset is only something that is of value. So let's take bellefield for example. It's no longer an asset to us, but what use would it be to us now, apart from us possibly being able to sell it in the future?

Not a defence of BK by any stretch, but as far as I can see, we are the only team in the top 6 that has signed anyone this window so far. Granted we have sold someone too, so that evens it out.

It's not like anyone else in the top 6 is doing loads of business though, and Martinez himself has said numerous times he doesn't like buying in January unless it is absolutely right.

In an ideal world we'd strengthen the squad in January, but there are lots of things 'in an ideal world' that could be done to improve Everton that simply aren't possible.

The facts are, if we can tie Baines and Barkley down to new deals, that represents good business, because the alternative is selling them and trying to replace them with players of the same calibre, which would be extremely hard/nigh on impossible.

Davek, any chance of the alternative message for Evertonians. We won,t hold you to a 5 part video special.

Message From Chairman Bill

As most of you will know, I like to keep my statements as a Chairman to a minimum, especially after we've been tonked in a big game or have just closed a transfer window.

However, we're doing ok right now, so here I am.

I maybe find it difficult at times to adequately summon up the finances to back the manager in the transfer market, but my devotion to our Football Club - and the belief in that devotion of my flock of blue sheep - allows me to attempt today to get away with gegging in on an Everton in the Community project idea and take full credit for it.

Some people will call our young “stand in match-day appointees!” an attempt to cut wages on the day by getting kids to do a full days work without pay, but as I always say to Jenny, if you cant lend a hand in driving down youth unemployment these days what sort of feller are you?

The previous Saturday, just before Christmas, we kept the Goodison lights on after a game (cost us a few quid like, but it's Christmas, so what can you do?) and opened our doors to some of the community who are less privileged than others, so there we were: me, Early and Greeny, and Dr Baxters' glove puppet nephew enjoying the Everton People’s Picnic, where we ate, laughed, and sang our way to Christmas.

And that’s the reason I am writing today. We are a great Football Club. The best. But we are more than that - we are a family that looks out for people down to their last billion, because that's what we are: Evertonians.

And I still want to say thank you to our tireless CEO Robert the only way I can, with a renewal of his annual membership to County Road tanning palace.

Chairman Bill

That's true, but we once owned a training ground didn't we? Now, we own nothing, we rent one.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

I'd be a bit more satisfied if they'd give out some of these Progs to kids as they enter the ground tbh. like in the Family Enc (the modern day boys pen) a lot approach the ground from the opposite end to where they hold all these events and don't ever go down that end.
If the giveaways are for the kids then give some out as they enter the ground.

Robert will be gutted that he missed the mountain biking in Tenerife like, joker Leon had 'tuned' a bike just for him.
