Bill Kenwright

Regardless of what you think of his capabilities as a Chairman you cant help but be proud as an Evertonian listening to and reading some of the tributes paid to Bill.

Remember him however you wish but never forget he was a good man with a very big heart. A big blue heart.

I defended him once. I was wrong. Arrogant and egotistical. Selfish and possessive. Thoughts with his family. The rest of us can move on happily.

This is a bit distasteful to voice at this time and let's you and "the rest of us" down by association.

RIP Bill.

I don't know the ins and outs of what he did at your club but he always seemed a genuine and nice bloke.

RIP Bill and condolences to his family.

Anyone who can't be respectful at this time is completely lacking in the most basic social skills.

Daughter had a photo taken with him after the friendly at Blackpool . She was not far from giving birth to grandchild number one . “ I hope that’s a blue in there “ he said . “Of course it is “ she replied . “ Good girl “

The Internet tends to bring out a side in people that they almost certainly wouldn't show in person. It's a shame but some very decent people get swept away by the opportunity to goad others and forget/ignore that a family and a massive group of friends are grieving.

RIP Mr Chairman

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.

Jenny Seagrove is going to be on Jim White show shortly if anyone wants to listen.

RIP Bill, Whatever you think of how things have panned out, he loved Everton as much as you and I

A discussion/ debate into his legacy and impact at Everton is certainly reasonable in time ( and I have strong views ) but surely you must appreciate that it is totally inappropriate and insensitive to make adverse comment at this time.

Bill Kenwright gave his all to Everton - the club he loved as a child and fought until the bitter end to fix

Bill Kenwright first joined the board at Everton in 1989 and became deputy chairman a decade later after buying a majority share in the club; His legacy wont be bricks and mortar at Bramley Moore Dock, it will be that he gave his all to the club he loved as a child
