Bill Kenwright - Everton Need a New Owner
Filed under: Everton FCBill Kenwright, aka the Chairman of Everton Football Club has publicly stated that they need to find themselves a billionaire owner. Lots of big time money has been flowing into the Premier League, capped off with ADUG taking over Manchester City. Kenwright believes stated that “the club has always punched above its weight”, but that they can’t go on with the financial constraints they have. He goes on to say “I want Everton to have a billionaire, but it is not me. My shares have been for sale from the day I bought in.” When I first read this article I was going to call Kenwright out for wanting to sell his shares and bring in someone else. It seemed to me that he was looking for an easy way out and an easy way to make a lot of scratch off the sale. Then I started reading that Kenwright is a lifelong Everton fan and that he is only one of two Premier League chairmen to not take a salary. Sounds like the dude really loves the club and that he has the best interests of Everton Football Club at heart. So does this mean the only option for club owners is to sell to a bajillionaire?
Kind of looking that way….what do you guys think of all this?





as a Manchester United fan, i resisted the Glazer Family acquisition. i still don’t think it was the best move for the club to become inundated with debt. i am not a fan of the hyperinflation seen in the BPL. sure, the product on the field is exciting. but, people are kidding themselves if they think this is sustainable. in order to compete, a club needs a billionaire. even then success is not guaranteed. i don’t think billionaires are good for the long term health of a club if they sign enormous loans in order to secure their purchase. rant over.
[…] Premier League. Word around the campfire is that Ambani has his eyes set on taking over Everton. It’s no secret that Kenwright is looking for a new, deep pocketed suitor to come in and help Everton challenege […]
