I like the way people who despise Kenwright still read all the stuff written about him, listen to his interviews, just to get really angry. LOL

Liverpool Echo.co.uk - Everton FC - News - MIKE PARRY: Everton Bill Kenwright’s powers of forgiveness are so extraordinary
Oh FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"NOW I am not saying that Bill Kenwright is The Almighty. But he is definitely exhibiting the signs. I am not trying to be flippant here because I am a practising Christian myself and I do not want to offend anybody in any faith. But Mr Kenwright’s powers of forgiveness are quite extraordinary.When he visited talkSPORT Towers last week he was, as would be expected, bursting with pride and anticipation for the forthcoming Wembley final. And he expressed his love for EVERY Everton fan.
That included those who were pretty loud and vitriolic towards him in the early weeks of the season – particularly after the defeat to Liverpool in September – our third successive reverse at home.
Far from feeling antagonistic towards his detractors, the chairman actually empathises with them.
He told how he went to a pre-season game when he was already receiving stick from a section of the fans because of the supposed lack of transfer activity and the apparent shortage of funds.
One fan had a banner which said something like: “KENWRIGHT OUT”.
A few weeks ago Mr Kenwright received a parcel at his office. It contained the very same banner and a covering note from the fan who had owned it, apologising for being so horrible and judgemental.
”I was very grateful to them”, he said. ”It could not have been easy for them to do that and I really appreciated it”.
I asked: “But what about all those who gave you stick and who will probably not And he said: “They’re all wonderful people. They’re Evertonians. If they didn’t care for the club so much they wouldn’t have been so expressive. ”Of course I forgive them all because when you really, really love your club you often don’t know what you’re doing at times of stress. That’s the way it gets you”.
I shook my head in admiration. I get plenty of stick in my job (most of it quite justified) and don’t always feel like turning the other cheek.
But for Mr Kenwright, it’s an attitude of Biblical proportions.
After all, was it not Jesus who said of those who crucified him: “Forgive them father, for they know not what they do”?
