Season › 2011-12 › News Blue Union hits back at Kenwright accusation Lyndon Lloyd , 9 January, 119comments | Jump to most recent The Blue Union have issued a statement in response to Bill Kenwright's comment in the Directors car park on Saturday where he accused the protest group of betraying Everton FC. Part of their response is as follows: As fans who have put a lot of money, time and devotion into following our club through good times and bad, we find Mr Kenwright's comments to be incredibly disrespectful, deliberately divisive and without any substance whatsoever. Not only are his words offensive to the officers of the group, but to the many thousands of Evertonians who have shown their direct support for our campaign. The fans who questioned Mr Kenwright did so of their own volition, and independently of the members of The Blue Union that were present. With regard to the specific allegation of betrayal, was it The Blue Union who informed the fans, the shareholders and the Council that the money was ringfenced for the then proposed iconic stadium on the Kings Dock? Was it The Blue Union who attempted to pass off a Walter Mitty character, Chris Samuelson, as an Evertonian investor at a shareholders meeting? Was it The Blue Union who attempted to move this great club to a former council refuse dump and in the process mislead the fans into believing that a supermarket chain were contributing £52m towards the construction cost of the stadium which turned out to be a bare faced lie? Was it the Blue Union who handed over a legacy from Sir John Moores to the bank? Was it The Blue Union who attempted to mislead the fanbase by informing them that the abortive Everton Place development was delayed due to an insurance problem? Nothing but the best is good enough? The sheer effrontery to attempt the deflection of responsibility for the many acts of betrayal against our famous motto by the chairman of the board is disgraceful.
