Kenwright and Fergies Book

[roydo]

He was a shareholder with Proactive and influenced the Rooney's to shift agents to accomodate the move to united...using gangsters to back his moves up: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/oct/17/newsstory.sport7

Jesus wept. Roy Evans on the fringes kind of as well!

At a dinner party I was introduced to the retired Everton scout who brought Rooney through he said Rooney simply could not stand Sgt Major Moyes.

Not saying Rooney would have stayed given the set up at GP but Moyes being a one dimensional cretin didn't help.

hahaahahahah

He may still support Everton but theres no chance in hell he'll ever return lol what delusion.

Hello mate, when was the last time you went to Old Trafford? Ace ground isn't it?

He made Bill cry Dammit.

Well it's lucky she died before Moyes left us.. Having strung us along for months.. Taking Fellaini with him and giving Ossie a new deal as he waved goodbye.. Homer Simpson " So long suckers.. " style..

 

[Jamo Martinez]

To be honest if that line were true then we had sold him just after he broke into our team and therefore no matter how good he could have been for us he was on his way out. The quote in the book says they done the deal at 17, not rejected. Could all be a missprint for all i know!

Apparently there are a few errors in the book. Says Keane was at Utd for less than he was and that they sold Staam to Someone other than Lazio (can't remember if it was Milan mentioned).

Wouldn't pay too much attention to the old tramp.

Apologies if this was posted already but I couldn't find it....but this is Fergie talking about the negotiations to sign Rooney....

IT was August 2004 and we had just played Everton. Bill Kenwright was crying. Sitting in my office,
crying. Present were David Moyes, David Gill, Bill and me. As we studied the Everton chairman in his
sorrow, he announced that he would like to make a call. Through his tears, Bill said: ‘I’ll need to
phone my mother.’
‘They’re stealing our boy, they’re stealing our boy,’ he said down the line. Then he passed the
phone to me. ‘Don’t you dare think you’re getting that boy for nothing. That boy’s worth fifty million
pounds,’ said a female voice. Wonderful. ‘This is a trick, this,’ I laughed. ‘Is this a game?’ But it was
real. You had only to mention Everton to Bill to turn his taps on. He was a very likeable guy and
unapologetically emotional.
David Moyes was giving me the eyes. For a minute I thought it was a get-up, a performance. Bill’s
background was in theatre, after all. It occurred to me while all this was going on that I ought to check
Wayne’s medical records. Was there something physically wrong we had missed? Was this a ruse to
push the price up? My God, it was funny. Did the boy have one leg? Was I being lured into a gigantic
sting?



Reading this i was thinking 2 things....
1. What a clown!!
2. he really is a fanatic Evertonian. I don't doubt that this guys only consideration when making decisions is the good of the club, unlike most other Chairmen. Only problem is that he has no money and can't seem to attract investment.

BK sounding like a right nonse there.

Phoning ye ma Bill, get a grip ffs

Shows why Bill can't sell the club. Too attached, too blue, too broke.

Bang on.
And he loves being the Chaiman of his club..

Who wouldn't ?

Turning his back on Kings Dock funding from Gregg, then attempting to maroon the club in Kirkby suggests the opposite

 

[lmurkder]

I wonder if Bill Kenwright is penning his hopes on Agent Martinez going to OT and taking a gun to a gun fight this time round ?


Commentator:

"what's this? The Everton chairman's run onto the pitch with a big Everton flag run up to the Stretford End and mooned the lot of them.

Everton won three nil."

:blink:

Maroon? Hardly. It's a 10 minute bus ride. I see how the club has improved greatly as a result tho.

Financially maroon the club, estrange it from it's fanbase, sign it's medium term descent into lower league oblivion. Not the actions of a Blue.

I can't agree at all.. But I genuinely respect your opinion..

Blues, just think, this is the man (supposedly) attempting to attract and persuade new owners to buy our club.
