Too much commonsense being said in this thread.
I don't mind the sentimentality but there should be a line between the footballing activity and the 'story' of the club.
Sentimentality should come in the form of Kenwright getting the boot and becoming life aficionado of Everton and he can spend an hour before the game telling some mega rich people from Asia in a box about the boys pen or other tripe.
All this Mr Chairman lovey dovey crap aswell. Dunc, Snods, Sharpie etc all say it, even Tony Bellew called him out after his fight, needs to be binned. The board should have no interaction with players other than a handshake after winning a cup. Or maybe hooking you up with a decent lawyer after you plow into some cyclists and a petrol pump, and then give you a contract extension for not seriously hurting someone.
We had the best goalkeeper in the world for a time, who'd probably be the best goalkeeper in the world right now if you brought him forward in time. The worlds best, number 1, no one can come close, and he offers his services in any capacity and get knocked back because he speaks his mind. Because some soft head can't handle some truth, it's pathetic.
I don't doubt that in his professional business Kenwright is probably a heartless get and in that world he's probably up their with the best. Heck look at the stories and background of Woods and his dealing. But this footballing world is completely different beast, yet they treat Everton as their little cuddly toy bear to reminisce and tell new friends how they own a football club.
I thought and hoped Moshiri would change that. Get some cold heartless corporate in to turn Everton into a well tuned business machine off the field and leave the footballing side alone, bar giving it the capital £££ required to get it right.
Maybe he'll do that one he's takes full control, if he takes full control? If Usmanov comes? If we ever get a stadium design? A spade into the ground?
