The Mail Bag

Vote of No Confidence

Having read through the realms posted on this site regarding the Kirkby project and digested the for and against arguments that have been so elequently presented, the one question that is nagging away at me is, if the fans democratically say 'no', then is this not a direct message to Kenwright to get out? For a Chairman and Chief Executive to put all their eggs in one basket, have no Plan B and remain steadfast in their resilience to consider any other alternatives then surely a no vote is also a vote of no confidence.

I doubt that Kenwright will do the honourable thing and fall on his sword should his mandate fail, however this will be a clear sign of little faith in his ability to lead the Club and without any alternatives other than another elaborate plot on the grand scale of the FSF fiasco then Kenwright must go.

It';s amazing to me what people are willing to read into this vote. I must give them credit to be honest for trying to keep it really simple: Do you want your club to relocaste to Kirkby?

Totally agree with Michael on this one. The question isn’t "Should BK remain chairman?". You’re making things up, and if in a few weeks the things you invented yourself don’t come true, you’re going to blame the club for it! Hmmm....

It wouldn’t be a vote against Kenwright or Wyness technically, BUT... I think in reality if we vote down the Kirkby proposal after Wyness stated it’s "win or bust" with it, then Wyness’ position at the club would be untenable and he would have to resign I feel. Kenwright would probably survive.

I totally disagree, Lee. Asking someone’s opinion should not mean you have to part if you don’t share the same opinion. My girlfriend and I share very different opinions on how to spent or holidays. And I really appreciate my holidays, it is a big thing for me. But thatdoesn’t mean we’re splitting up, it just means we have to work harder to find a solution that satisfies all parties. If anything, the club is showing balls for having the ballot. And Wyness is a businessman who gets paid well to do his job. He should carry on business as usual and try to work out another solution to our stadium-problem.

I feel it that you want Wyness out, no matter what. Fair enough, that’s your opinion, but this ballot is not about him (or BK for that matter), it’s about our club relocating to Kirkby.

Actually, Bill himself said exactly that when the exclusivity period began. There is something on Everton TV, from a press conference after the AGM: "What if the vote goes against you?" Bill said, "I would just have to go myself."

So if the voters want to make it a vote of confidence in Bill Kenwright then they can do, he has said it himself, but I think matters are complicated enough!
