Got a horrible feeling we've been blagged why are kenwright and elstone still at the club.

{Ed025's Note - because they own a chunk of it?..

Give it a rest Bill has been an absolute Saviour for our club, I hope he stays on when Mr Moshiri buys the rest of his shares, GuernseyBlue.

I think his passion and loyalty definitely saved us in the past, but that doesn't mean he actually knows how to run a club, he's just a massive fan with money. I'm not a 'Kenwright out' fan, but if we want to actually move forward it is definitely time for him to hand over the reigns.

I'm with Ander here, and don't patronise his opinion, certainly not based on what his age may or may not be. I'm not part of the "Kenwright Out" crowd either. Kenwright did save the club, but that was the best part of 17/ 18 years ago now. It's come to the point now where we can't keep letting him stay purely because of sentiment based on something he did a long time ago.

Right now, we have a billionaire who owns 49.9% of the club and wants to take us forward, I personally can't see this happening if the likes of Kenwright and Elstone keep adopting the "plucky little Everton" tag from the days where we worked on a shoestring.

I'm with you on that one big d, some posters on here have short memories, I go back to the 60s blimey that's a long time ago, Ander should have seen what we had to put up, with some of them in charge yuk, GuernseyBlue.

I'm only 21 BigDunc, so I get that I might not have seen the 'dark days' before he came along, and I fully appreciate what he's done for us, but I stand by the fact that that doesn't mean he knows how to run a club and take us forward.

My Nan's a lifelong, die hard fan and if she somehow came into millions 20 years ago I have no doubt she'd invest in the club, but it doesn't for a second means she'd be the right person to run it!

I'm all for there being a bit more loyalty in football, but I'm not about allowing sentimentality stand in the way of progress. Arsenal (and in a far more short term manner, Leicester) are both examples of how allowing the club to stagnate under someone's control because of something they did in the past is not the way to run a successful team.
