Apparently, Kenwright was preparing a big bid for Rooney until Utd caught wind and put him just out of reach. It's believed he was going to offer 2 tickets for a west end show. On top of this, the deal came with lots of add ons, 2 nights in a hotel, a program and wait for it, an ice cream during the interval. So you can't fault him for effort.
Rumours that Man City turned down a similar offer (no ice cream included) for Jo have yet to be confirmed.
Were Everton and were skint. That should never be allowed to happen.
I don't want a Venkys or a Hicks & Gillett but surely with a club of our size and relative decent books it shouldn't be hard to find someone who has a long term vision and moderate investment?
In a time were most people can't afford to pay their heating, we shouldn't be counting on some rich [Poor language removed] giving us loadsa dollar.
I hope it's the beginning of a trend of articles that place pressure on numbnuts Kenwright and the people whose arses he covers. We're going to hear any time now from the 'Chairman' when he emerges from his bunker to deliver his Christmas message. I hope realises that the place we're in at the moment needs addressing this January and there's no more flanneling about speaking to ten investors who all buggered off at the last minute. Either he or the barking dog he's hired, Elstone, need to set out some recovery plan for the club. We need leadership, not some Forrest Gump story about his Grandad Albert or Dave Hickson.
Unpopular as it may be, I'd rather Kenwright than the vast majority of scumbag people who own premiership clubs.
We may not have a pot to piss in, but compare us now to the Johnson era.......or look at Newcastle.
Yes we need funds and investment and its unlikely that it will come from Bill, but at the very least he loves the club and will not behave like those american clowns or their ilk.
I know that is not enough for most of you.
