Some of your new found mates are budding clairvoyants with the power to read Bill's mind. Without offering a skerrick of evidence, they have accused Bill of every kind of skullduggery. I have unsucessfully challenged those exaggeraters and in some cases, downright liars for proof of their statements and now I toss the same gauntlet for you to make and prove your case.

What really gets in the craw of the critics is that they or anyone who has supported Everton for more than six years would have to concede that Everton have come a long way since Kenwright took over. That man has overseen our transformation from a hopeless basket case that was a certainty for 2nd division oblivion into a very competitive outfit under a brilliant young manager.

I feel that Everton are being run like a good business. We don?t over-spend. We focus on good management. We have a Chairman and Manager who work well together and who have a clear vision of the future. I?d go so far as to say that Everton is a model that other clubs (including Chelsea and Liverpool) should follow.

Sure, things can always be better. I?m sure if BK can find a buyer for Everton with more resources, he will sell out. But he?s not irresponsible and I trust he will not just sell out to anyone. Also remember that he has invested in Everton as a business (his love for the Blues aside). So he will want to make sure that when he sells, the deal is right for him.

Let?s leave the business end of Everton to Bill and the Board. Unless we have all the details and know the full facts (which we never will as Everton are not a publicly listed company), let?s just focus on supporting the team and David Moyes !

But then the transfer window re-opens and we suddenly have the BK bashers back in all their soapbox glory. Lighten up Eddy and Gavin. Yes, there are thousands of us who agree with you that the ride has been rough and littered with debris for the last 9 years; however, we?re still on the ride ? Leeds, Forest and Derby can?t say that! And you could well have added Chelsea to that list until their knight in shining gold armour arrived late!

And yes, BK can be a tart at times, but he?s still a fellow Evertonian ? that is never going to change.

Who was to blame, if there is any blame, for not raising those funds will eventually come to light. I personally believe that working in the background were powerful forces that had a different agenda for the Kings Dock site. I admit that is mere conjecture on my part and not based on known facts. Unlike most anti-Bill K critics I would not dare cast aspersions or denigrate anyone without actual proof.

In Bill we have a leader who recognises that if Everton is to have any kind of future it must lie somewhere beyond crumbling outdated Goodison. Kings Dock failed, perhaps so too might Kirkby... yet it can no longer be denied that somehow, somewhere we have to build a future and with each passing year the need is more urgent.

Let's get on with supporting the club and looking for someone with a big back garden where we can play. If DK goes to the wall there is plenty of waste ground around some of it made in Adolf's time and still not cleared up.

Even when Gregg came forward, BK wasn?t intrested, because it would have meant him giving up some of his train set. Now, isn?t that being selfish? If he (as we?re always being told) always wants the best for the club, why didn?t he take Gregg up on his offer? Because of BK, we missed out on one of the biggest opportunities we will ever see in our lifetime.

From the depths of gloom and despite our awful financial situation Evertonian spirits were lifted if only temporarily. Kings Dock was a wonderous vision that tantalised us for a while.

Must we go through life perpetually downcast and without hope? That way of thinking would have seen us under the jackboot. Is it not a good thing that sometimes we set our spirits free and if only momentarily, soar with eagles. All great things have their beginnings in someone's dream.

If the alternative is what many on this site seem to prefer, I would rather hold tightly to Bill's coat-tails.

And then when Paul Gregg made a proposal to save the deal, BK vetoed it as it would have meant more kudos to Gregg and then actively sought to discredig Gregg and remove him from the board.

And then when Gregg mounts a challenge to BK to take control of the Club, BK invents the Fortress Sports Fund who?s ?cheque is in the post? ... So what happened to that money?

None of this is a ?matter of perception? but a well documented history of BK being ?economical with the truth?.
