Bill Kenwright

[Daytripper]

If only this joker hadn't turned away Sheik Mansour back in 2008 eh?

Is that actually true mate or is it some hearsay?

 

[Blue 1]

The only way he leaves Everton is in a coffin. Soz, but that's the truth of it.

Until then, we're stuck with the bugger.

The millions pocketed by Blue Bill was the game changer, at least for bill.

And this fraud is making nothing? Least under Kenwright we got into Europe, into semi finals, to Wembley, and had enjoyable football, every season under Moshiri has been terrible.

To add to that I do a moderate amount of work with the ruling families of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

I had a meeting with Mansours management team about a year after they had completed the City deal, and during lunch small talk I asked them "Why city?“

They reply as exactly this:

"We approached Everton first, but received no encouragement to proceed"

They had no idea I was an Everton fan.

Moyes achieved that despite BK, not because of him. As shown by the zero net spend for a 10yr period.

Kenwright trousered £27 million when he sold up. He brought no new money to the club when he owned it. An odious, toad of a man.

Agreed, plus we've no idea how he paid off the Greggs/Green/Earl and whoever else along the way.

He didnt have any to bring, but what he did have was a terrible platform to build on and a club nobody else wanted, but people turn a blind eye to Peter Johnson and his era because social media didnt exist then so its not as well documented. How much has Moshing brought? loads and for what, to go backwards, its not about throwing money at it, but understanding what is needed and having an actual plan. Bill's did at least take us forward, Moshiri is kiling us at an alarming rate at a time when football is getting harder and the gap is only getting bigger

I agree that it isn't just about throwing money at it.... but that doesn't equate to Kenwright moving us forward. How could his role in wrecking Kings Dock ever be construed as taking us forward. How could the destinatio Kirkby debacle ever be as a forward step? The loss of AGMs? His role was to provide funding for new infrastructure and for his manager. That manager had to buy and sell to create his teams. Everton Forums existed while Johnson was in control too, so that's hardly a valud point.

Remind me. Who decided after years and years of (supposedly) looking for buyers to sell the club to Moshiri? Who decided he was the best bet for EFC? Nobody forced Bill Kenwright to buy Everton FC all those years ago and if he didn't have the wherewithal to take the club forward (be it with his or someone else's money) then he should have left well alone. I don't blame him for not being a billionaire, I do blame him for overseeing a period of massive decline for Everton FC.

That obviously means it never really happened.
