Faced by a guy who at an ESCLA meeting replied to a question about finances, replied with the answer, ‘these aren’t questions for your chairman’ and we get told we’d had ‘good times’ and as Pablo states, been in a manager decline to keep the master at the helm, then he deserves every single bit of vitriol going. I don’t agree with the threats he got and how the ‘minority dickheads’ targeted him, but he deserves scepticism, questioning, and no place at all as to where we are today, and the seemingly upward trajectory we are hopeful of. Kenwright, the saviour of Everton? Do me a favour.

Fair enough thanks for the considered reply.
I respect your views and can see your reservations about Bill.
I think if the Kirkby move would have gone ahead I don’t think I could ever forgive him but it didn’t so I’ll cut him some slack there.
It just saddens me the vitriol he sometimes receives. Previous Message
...about this summer and the start of the season is that there has been absolutely ZERO mention of him whatsoever - and that's the biggest sign for me that the club and the fanbase have indeed finally turned a corner and we're looking forwards with positivity and optimism.
I don't disagree with the statement that he was a Blue (although some would apparently even dispute that in his earlier life) but so am I, so are you, so are most of us on here - that doesn't make us in any way eligible or suitable to own/run the club - and certainly not to run it into the ground.
If he truly did love the club then he would have sold up and walked away a long, long time before he did (well actually he didn't, but that kind of proves the point too!) He begged, borrowed and stole from some incredibly risky and dodgy sources, just to keep hold of his trainset and it was the textbook definition of a vanity project - the primary reason for the hand-to-mouth, head-above-water, bare minimum existence that the club operated under throughout his tenure.
The lies he told to keep himself in place are endless, from Samuelson right through to Headlockgate, and his refusal to sell to anyone who wouldn't keep him on as Chairman nearly killed us.
So yeah, with the greatest of respect Dan, I think we'll agree to disagree on that, but for anyone like yourself who wants some recognition for him at the new stadium then I've got some good news for you - it's already there, on the fan plaza, in the most appropriate place possible...
The only mistake is that they've spelt his name wrong - there should be a H between the S and the I...
