There is no doubting the size of Bill Kenwright’s heart, but it is the size of his wallet that concerns me. The summer promises to be a make or break situation for Everton, can Kenwright deliver the goods?

However much he loves the club, regardless of how much he wells with pride to the tune of Z-Cars, despite the love he visibly has for his “Blue Palace”, it does not make him the chairman we desperately require.

There are simply thousands of Evertonians who I could say that about, would that make them worthy chairmen?

We seek and crave a transfer war chest, shoestring budgets can only take you so far, and that’s not to the Promised Land.

He must, deep down, realise he is not the man to steer Everton into a fruitful future, surely? I will always be indebted to Kenwright, if anything for ridding us of former chairman, “Agent Johnson”. He is a likeable chap; his passion is there for all to see.

If Kirkby reaches fruition, many will brand him as “the man who murdered the soul of Everton”, does he really want such an unattractive tag, if not “genuinely” looking for investment twenty-four seven should be an imperative.

With regards to the stadium, in my opinion, despite his heart being in the “right place”, he was been seriously misguided.

We can ponder back to the Kings Dock fiasco, it pains me too say that the failure of that unbelievable project will follow me to the grave. I recall a certain Mr Dean of Arsenal saying something along the lines of “I would have given a limb for a deal like that”

Unfortunately, far too many people refuse to criticise the theatre impresario due to his Toffee allegiance, but should we question his motives?

Before staunch Kenwright supporters label me idiotic for not acknowledging money spent in recent times, please look at the bigger picture. Transfer money has arrived from a variety of sources, ranging from Sky, loans, and the sale of assets both on and off the field. Our debt continues to rise, and now we’re faced with the Kirkby debacle, great!

We have improved due to the astuteness of David Moyes in the transfer market, which by Premier standards, involved minimal assistance from Kenwright. Would Moyes work better with genuine funds at his disposal?

Evertonian or not, Everton Football Club will not regain it’s rightful place at the forefront of the English game with Kenwright in charge, of that I have no doubt.
