Remembering Bill Kenwright

I know a lot of people did not like him, but let me tell the truth about him. When he lived in Liverpool I lived near to him. I can tell you there is no bigger blue than him, his mum and dad advised him not to buy Everton because of the hassle he would get, but he went ahead anyway. About 3 or maybe 4 years ago I had a long conversation on the phone with him and believe me he put a huge amount of time and money in the club, on occasions at that time money he did not always have. He hardly ever missed a match, driving up from London for nearly every game, he really was a true blue. Yes when he sold the club he did make some money but he only bought the club to get it away from Johnson because he was unhappy with the way it was going. I know for a fact he very often gave tickets away for free and he did a lot of work for charity. Rest in peace Bill and I for one will always remember you.
 

His heart was in the right place (undisclosed charitable donations, helping a lot of people in need) but his ego using Everton as a train set he didn't want to leave tarnished his legacy as a chairman.

Could have been in Man City's position and at kings dock.

RIP Bill

Well done, mate. You might well get a lot of flak for this, but you did what you thought was right and you've told the truth as you see it. You should be proud of yourself.
 
Condolences to his family and friends and a lifelong blue life lost is always sad,as for his reign,if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all
