Joorabchian rejects notion he has outsized influence at Everton

To almost quote Will Smith "Get the name of my club out of your mouth".

What a tosser.

I bet Christine is feeling safer now.

It doesn't matter who Everton appoint, unless the back of the house can manage what's in the front of the house (or words to that effect) is what he said. So, if Moshiri was listening to him, then Kenwright would have been dismissed, unless he really is unsackable.

Now we know who really pulls the strings at Goodison!

But if this Kia is telling the truth, then why was Denise Barrett-Baxendale involved in anything regarding anything when she had allegedly been looking for alternative employment around this time and for quite a while?

Kenwright and Barrett-Baxendale = nepotistic poison – people who have always been more concerned about themselves rather than the good of Everton, imo.

Now, Kia is saying Bill & Denise call the shots on signings etc.

That is the question that keeps coming up all the time. Why is Kenwright getting a bye for all Everton's failings?

When Pereira shot himself in the foot, Barrett-Baxendale made a public pronouncement in support of Lampard. IMO, Kenwright was being this, because he did not like Moshiri and Joorabchian appointing a manager he had no say in.

Actually, for a guy who says he was no real influence, he is giving evidence to the contrary. Maybe he even wants to distance himself from hapless Everton.

Apart from Sharpy's interview with the Mirror, defending Barrett-Baxendale, we haven't heard much from the two day-to-day leaders. Obviously Bill got door-stepped at West Ham, but he didn't say much in reality.

Perhaps, more things are happening behind the scenes than we think, because in Moshiri's interview, it didn't sound like a guy who only wanted to spend 5% of his time on the club. Trouble is trying to identify the truths from the untruths... it ain't easy.

Forget about Everton because Bill has been very successful, and he's also going nowhere, simply because none of our current problems are down to him.

Maybe his life is one big act, but this nepotistic lunatic, has got skin like a Rhinoceros, and something tells me that he's not a bit bothered that he's now hated by a lot of people, simply because his life has been a complete success.

His shoes no longer have holes in their soles, and if the soul has been ripped out of Everton, it's definitely been done by a fanbase with very short memories of what Bill has done for our once-great club over many years.

It was truly sickening that he couldn't attend last week's game, and if fans had any decency, they would stop going after this fantastic board and turn their attentions to a man who he should never have let anywhere near Everton. This is the only mistake Bill has made.

The fact he says he records every fan comment in his diary surely means he is on Everton business 24/7? That diary will be quite a strange keepsake for his offspring.

"Today had lunch at the office then read that 400 people think I am involved with gangsters, 600 hundred said Bill Kenwright is a fraud, one man called me a busted flush."

Apparently???

Surely Thelwell is heavily behind the signing of Maupay and McNeil for huge sums. Why is he retained?

"You cannot blame the Board entirely. Surely Thelwell is heavily behind the signing of Maupay and McNeil for huge sums. Why is he retained?"

There's a point in the interview with Moshiri where he is implicitly critical of the signings and Thelwell.

She may be an effective CEO in some capacity, but what expertise does she have that qualified her to pick a manager as poor as him?

I've always said this about Kenwright, Moshiri is doing the same and now Denise is in on the act. Self-perpetuating stupidity.

It makes you wonder, who made that decision!?

Slagging off Moshiri for having a good link to one of the planet's super agents is stupid. We need these people on our side, even if there are a few quid pro quos that don't appear to have an immediate benefit on the surface. This is how the business works.

I just don't see it. He had a good budget at Derby. And didn't he get a transfer window at Chelsea without an embargo(?) and didn't do enough. He knows how to milk a crowd, but I've seen nothing from him that would make me want him as a manager.

How about this for a what-could-have-been, giving Marco Silva the January window to correct our midfield after the Gbamin injury would have been a good move.

I'm scouse. Born and bred in Kirkby. I'm calling the feral idiots who chase young players down the street while screaming abuse "feral idiots". That's not controversial. They were out of order. I don't know why you're trying to pretend that my criticism of them somehow besmirches every Scouser. It doesn't.

The Xenophobic comment comes from thinking that an Englishman has an advantage because he's English. That stands as that was exactly the view put forward, and it has been proven to be complete bollocks.

And don't worry about me, I've held my own wherever I've been.
