The JJK three year contract extension rumour has Kenright DNA all over it.

Was thinking that he'll eventually make an event of something like this.

Each year, a juicy contract extension is handed out with no merit.

They could make a night of it and invite the media, all Prentices' buddies.

The annual "Luke Garbutt, Who??" Everton Football Club Contract extension night.
 

The club will never win anything as long as Kenwright remains at the club.

There is a massive “jobs for the boys” culture with him and loads of hangers on. It’s just not a successful environment, failure is massively tolerated.

And the thing is, that isn’t Everton. Failure wasn’t tolerated when John Moores sacked Jonny Carey in a taxi or when Howard Kendall replaced Andy Gray with gary lineker. Everton used to be ruthless, and funny enough being absolutely ruthless is what you need in order to be successful.

I saw the Fergie documentary and he was all about winning, no sentimentality. Same with Michael Jordan and the Last Dance. Everton is the complete opposite of that, but it didn’t use to be that way.

Kenwright has been on the board since 1989, so when people talk about the gradual decline from 87 league winners to the current mediocrity he has been at the heart of it. He’s presided over the decline of one of Britain’s finest and most successful sporting establishments, the most unsuccessful board member in the clubs history, by quite some distance.

And despite telling fans for 17 years that no one wanted to buy the club when he finally put it up for sale there were numerous interested buyers, John J Moores and Charles Noell, an Asian based consortium and Moshiri. So the notion that no one wanted to buy Everton was rubbish, he just didn’t want to sell. In the end he went for Moshiri because he would keep him and his cronies on the board.

The guy has done so much damage to our club. People talk of Peter Johnson being a kopite agent. He has nothing compared to this fraud.

As things currently stand, we are entirely dependent on the manager of the day asserting himself and it seems none of the recent lot particularly cared enough and/or had shown themselves to be competent enough in the role to do that.

I like Lampard's honesty but he isn't Alex Ferguson, but its a figure exactly like Ferguson we need. There was simply just no tolerance of anything which he saw impeding United becoming the club he wanted them to be.

Lampard can still do a lot, and it's important that at least he does seem to actually care about improving the clubs fortunes. The thing is he will have to work past meddling on the one hand and sheer incompetence on the other.

What we need is for him to get to a stage where we are upwardly mobile, and then use that leverage in a calculated way to demand improvement at all levels at the club. If we had a stable and functioning manager then you'd hope Moshiri/Kenwright and others would know enough of a good thing to butt out, but it's really hard to get to that situation in the first place.

We need professional people in at board level with a proven track record to be able to move the club forward
