Bill Kenwright RIP
Sad news from Everton this afternoon with the death of chairman Bill Kenwright. He passed away peacefully last night at the age of 78.
I know he became unpopular with the Everton fans during this Moshiri period but he was a good Everton chairman for many years.

Re: Bill Kenwright RIP
Proper football man. RIP
Re: Bill Kenwright RIP
You're right, Tony.
He always seemed to me to be a good man.
As you know, he spoke at Anfield ten years ago during a ceremony dedicated to Hillsborough. He spoke from the heart as only a true Liverpudlian could have done. And, if for nothing else, he should be remembered for this speech.

Re: Bill Kenwright RIP
He was a chairman who cared about his club as much as any other Evertonian. He walked past us on Boxing Day 2019 taking some food to the Fans Foodbank Collection and I know from talking to people I know at Everton just what a good bloke they thought he was.
He's been battling cancer recently but it's not that long since he was at Goodison.

Re: Bill Kenwright RIP
He seemed like a genuine passionate Evertonian. Hope some of those fellow scousers who insulted and vilified him have some common decency now and leave his family to grieve,or don't become two faced wailers putting scarves and flowers outside Goodison.
RIP.
RIP.

Re: Bill Kenwright RIP
Always came over to me as others have said a BK type chairman who was Everton through and through. I imagine the two BK's would stll be holding the reins had it not been for the ridiculous money needed these days to maintain top flight football (and I am ignoring our Bk's ill health that led to him stepping down)
RIP Mr Kenwright. You served your club as well as you could

Indeed, mdd2. An excellent comparison if I may say so.

Re: Bill Kenwright RIP
Just looked on the Everton Grand Old Lady site and there are still some of the fans coming out with horrible comments,I can remember despising Bob Lord ,but a death isn’t just about the deceased it’s the relatives that people should respect and show a bit of reverence.Longsidelenny1882 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 6:08 pmHope all the Everton supporters who have given him and all his family so much stick recently are so happy with there selves rip

Just left my condolences and expressed the hope Everton fans can now concentrate on the many good years of dedicated service he gave building the club. Another sad loss.

Re: Bill Kenwright RIP
Rest in peace Bill.
Just been reading about two of his charitable donations and how great he was with Bradley Lowery's family. He gave 200k to try to get him treatment abroad but sadly he didn't make it, so it went to his foundation.
The other was to the twitter user Shitscaredmum's daughter Laura, who needed a brain scan. He donated 50k without any fuss or publicity.
Seemed a top man.

Re: Bill Kenwright RIP
Everton are away again this week so they will be paying their respects next Wednesday ahead of the League Cup tie
Re: Bill Kenwright RIP
Pay there respects? They was sending him death threats not so long ago, wasn't they spitting at him also? Or was that a different board member

Re: Bill Kenwright RIP
Paying their respects to a life long fan, chairman and director who was unable to attend matches at the club he loved due to threats from those same fans? They do not deserve such a decent man. Two faced hypocrits.

Re: Bill Kenwright RIP
Let's hope that all Claret's fans show respect and behave in a proper manner. Sean Dyche wrote a good tribute, it's on the BBC site, and mentioned the respect Bill Kenwright showed to him and Burnley FC when SD was our manager.
