A Message from Bill Kenwright to Evertonians on the club website

[Bruce Wayne]

Lets face it, if Bill had a few billion then we'd think he was the best chairman going.

 

[Furey1878]

I reckon we'd miss this sort of thing if we got bought by an oligarch that couldn't care less about the club.

Perhaps so, but only ever coming out with stuff like this when the team is doing well does come off as disingenuous.

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.

Perhaps, but what quotes can you pull up from the Chairmen of City, Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal.........

Ermm... they don't need to, as money talks?

Just kidding, fair play

Anyone have a photo of Bill as a boy? I'm sure I took his bus fare off him in the boys pen in 65.

Its not really the fact he doesn't have a few quid mate. Its the lies........ Hasn't been rightly named Billy Liar by his fellow Evertonians for not having a few quid

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak says they're ready to spend big this summer.

When asked if City would make any signings, he replied: “Absolutely. This is going to be a very important year for us.

“We’ve made some very important management decisions.

“The new manager, from day one, has a responsibility to prepare a team for us next season — a team that will be able to compete and to win every competition we’re involved in.”

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Perhaps so, but only ever coming out with stuff like this when the team is doing well does come off as disingenuous.

If he did say anything when the team are losing then he'd only be accused of trying to gloss over the failings on the pitch, or more likely, the failure of him to be loaded so the manager can spend money on new players.

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

If you bank at any of our High Street banks, you may be surprised to learn that the branch you go into to use the ATM isn't owned by the bank, its been sold by the bank and leased back. The same with a number of High Street stores. Sell and lease back is a perfectly acceptable way to operarte in business, as it releases the bulk of the value of the property in cash for other purposes. Like buying players.

What an odd fellow.

Reckon the Yewtree stress is getting to him.

Thanks for putting that in. Saved me doing it.

Dots are being joined...
