The Mail Bag

Kenwright must go!

The plain truth is that Kenwright is a staller. He is similar to a Labour spin-doctor who says what the 'IMWT' faithful want to hear and then does nothing. When Moyes has managed to get us a good league placing, out pops Blair (oops - Kenwright) and he takes credit. When things go wrong...

I actually do not lay blame at Moyes's door because he is hamstrung by lovvie Kenwright. This man is no true blue. He was supposed to be looking for an investor. Investors seem to be falling over themselves to invest in clubs like West Ham, Birmingham et al. Why can't he find an heir? The reason is that Kenwright is selfishly manipulating the club into a move where he can offload his shares for multiples of its current face value. Please don't tell me we have not had opportunities to get some decent investment in because the evidence from other clubs speaks volumes.

Regarding transfers:- Moyes can only spend what he has been given and to be fair, this is less than one would expect for a top ten club. His support of Kenwright is only what one would expect form a manager but underneath I bet he is seething.

Please go, Bill, because I don't want to be part of a false dawn yet again. To use a couple of clichés: We need to speculate (sensibly) to accumulate. Fortune favours the brave.

Time to go eh Bill... Joseph is calling!

Wot's this? True Blue Bill not the man after all?? Shock horror! What are we to do now?

The full irony of your two clichés may take some time yet to see fruition in Bill's case!

"When things go wrong...."

Like that shocking run of defeats at the start of the season before last when many were calling for Moyes head ?

My recollection is that Kenwright came out and publicly backed Moyes. But let’s not let the truth get in way of another opportunity to have a bit of a moan, eh ?

You sound like a Kopite who rings in to 606 every week moaning. There are serious questions about the Stadium and about backing for Moyes, but as Arsenal and Liverpool are finding out, things don’t always turn out the way you expect when new Investors come along.

Whatever Kenwright’s faults, whether it be lying or a trainset mentality, he does at least want success on the pitch for the same reasons as you and I. Can you say that about American businessmen, Icelandic eggheads or corrupt Thai politicians? They’re only interested in the money and when the penny drops that all that new TV money is ending up in the players’pockets they’ll be selling up leaving who knows what behind. BK is interested in money too, no doubt, but Everton being successful is still the priority.

Freddy Shepherd and the Halls weren’t looking for an Investor, but one turned up and steamrollered them out of control of Newcastle with a load of cash they couldn’t refuse. If BK is only in it for the money and these people are queueing up to buy us and every English club out, why hasn’t he accepted an offer? Maybe there hasn’t been one? Maybe he didn’t trust them to understand the majority of our supporters’ views and wishes? We don’t know, so any comment is purely guesswork and calling for someone’s head based on guesswork is unwise to say the least.

I have my doubts over the Kirkby thing due to the total lack of information, but who knows what could be going on behind closed doors? In multi-million pound deals, confidentiality is the first requisite.

We don’t know so we can only wait and see Iam afraid - and in the meantime, enjoy the great British Summer!!!
