Your the kind of person who makes excuses for liars and shysters based on this comment.
Big fan of Boris Johnson I expect.
His main action for “saving us” was selling our best player.

Wouldn't make any of them Chairman, but I was responding on a thread specific to Bill Kenwright.

haha ask anyone who was around at the time about how the bank were knocking on our door demanding money because of damage done before Bill, if we sold players we had too, what do you think we are going to be doing this summer?

Yeah but thats the problem, if we are stupid enough to oust Bill he has to be replaced, have you seen the track record of Moshiri when it comes to recruitment?
Yes I’m aware the club were in trouble.
Was investment sought? Were new buyers pursued with a vision of taking Everton forward with a vision based around improvement and keeping hold of the hottest talent in English football since Gascoigne?
Nah thought not.
His legacy is nearly moving the club to Kirkby and presiding over the longest barren run in the clubs history.
I’m not self entitled. I don’t think we have a divine right to be challenging for anything, but it’s hard to deny my comments on his legacy.
I often think with Bill, he did what any fan who stepped up would do with the club, did some great things, dropped a few clangers, he never claimed to be all the bells and whistles, he was always honest about his intentions and limits. In that context he will always have my respect and gratitude.
The perilous position we are now in, we were in year in year out, we were a model to fall down the leagues like Forrest or Leeds. He safeguarded the welfare club, within the available means, he grew and built the club, we were banging our head of the glass ceiling of 5th and 6th for much of his years, without a bean, we even broke it one year. We thought money was the clear answer - turns out it wasn't.
Its not an easy gig as our new owner has found.

His legcay will be Bramley Moore, which is his main job now, and keeping us as an ever present in the Premier League which is some achievement considering the mess he bought and how many other clubs such as Newcastle, Villa, West Ham, Sunderland...etc have been yo yoing, even Manchester City have a relegation to thier name since the time True Blue Holdings thankfully took over.

I'm not arguing with you? I want them all replaced.
He always said he would find an investor ready to put money into Everton - he did - the fact that Moshiri is a loon is a different story- if all is to believed the development of BMD - was part of the takeover deal - on a phased basis there were milestones on the stadium development to be met contractually, before Moshiri could increase his shareholding - this has happened twice already as the site was acquired and ground broken on the stadium. When you look at it, Moshiri was an investor, then majority shareholder, then owner - all linked to increasing incremental shareholding on the basis of development of BMD. That s all Bill.
I never it see it mentioned, acknowledged or credited and that's unfair.

What we need first is Moshiri to sell, that has to be priority but i cant see it until the ground is done, but then fingers crossed

See that is a very good point, he did do what he promissed us, he did deliver, what happens next is on his replacement.
If Moshiri couldnt run the club as well as Bill ran it thats on Moshiri, we currently have one of the worst owners in the league and throwing money around wont hide that, neither should pics of a new ground thatwill only increase the value of his shares.
Thats it for me, he was always honest about his limits and what he hoped to do, while safe guarding Everton, he did that. He said he would find a buyer who would invest and build a ground - many said that was unrealistic - "let your trainset go Bill" - he did what he promised and constructed the takeover deal in a way that those key objectives had to be met before Moshiri could increase his shareholding, thats unbelievable - many would have took the money and run - that needs to be acknowledged and respected - we should be grateful as we watch a stadium emerge from the docks in the heart of the City.. Ill respect anyone who is up front and follows through, without any other agenda.
I look at Walsh and Brands and them stumbling through windows, when Brands got the Bullet, Bill stepped into the breach in Jan, he did five deals in and one deal out and recruited a new manager - we haven't seen that level of activity in a window in beards. The dude knows his way around football.
