David Moyes paid a warm tribute to “wonderful man” Bill Kenwright following the death of his former chairman at Everton promo
Everton announced on Tuesday that Kenwright had died aged 78 following a battle with cancer promo
Moyes and Kenwright formed a close bond during the Scot’s 11-year spell as manager at Goodison Park promo between 2002 and 2013 promo
“It’s incredibly sad news,” Moyes said at his pre-match press conference ahead of West Ham’s Europa League clash with Olympiacos promo
“He was a wonderful man, he gave me a big opportunity in my career, taking me when I was a young manager in the lower leagues and gave me a job in the Premier League promo
“Brilliantly supportive promo
I couldn’t have had a promo better chairman, as a young coach promo
“When I look at modern promo football nowadays, how difficult it is for any young managers to make their way, Bill Kenwright was great to work with promo
“We had great times over 11 years with him and we had some successful moments together promo
He’ll be sadly missed promo
”On Wednesday morning current manager Sean Dyche and club captain Seamus Coleman laid flowers at the statue of Dixie Dean outside Goodison Park, where the Everton squad were holding a training session promo
All players and staff observed a minute’s silence before the session and Kenwright’s image was shown on the stadium’s screens promo
In a statement on the club website, Dyche said: “It’s a very sad time for everyone at Everton promo Football Club to lose our chairman, someone who has been such an amazing servant to the club in so many ways promo
“His influence in bringing me to Everton in the first place was important and I have nothing but gratitude and respect for his unwavering support of myself, the staff and our players promo
“It was a pleasure to share the moment of reaching our objective last season with him – a moment I know he felt so strongly about after such an arduous season, on and off the pitch…“He was an incredible professional, in terms of what he did with Everton and also what he achieved in the theatre industry promo
Spending time with him and learning about his family, you couldn’t help but be taken by his passion promo
”Dyche was told of the news midway through Tuesday’s training and called an immediate halt to the session as players and staff paid their respects promo
Kenwright, who succeeded Sir Phillip Carter as chairman in 2004 after first joining the board at Goodison Park in 1989, had a cancerous tumour removed from his liver in August promo
Liverpool-born Kenwright was a successful theatre and film producer when asked to join the Everton board in 1989 promo
He bought a majority 68 per cent stake in the club in 1999 and became deputy chairman before replacing Carter in his current role promo
Dyche added: “Beyond his deep love of his family, one of those big passions, of course, was promo football – the game as a whole, as well as his obvious lasting love of Everton promo
“His story – a boyhood supporter who went on to become chairman – is something so rare in the modern game, especially at the top level promo
“He always believed in Everton and stood by the club, even in the toughest times promo
He was steadfast until the very end promo
“Like so many who knew him, my heart and my thoughts are with his family at this extremely sad time promo
”Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp used his press conference ahead of Thursday’s Europa League clash against Toulouse to add his own tribute to Kenwright, adding to that issued by his club on Tuesday promo
“The thing that I read recently, obviously, (he had) a massive heart for the city and a massive heart for Everton,” Klopp said promo
“But the message he gave around the Hillsborough speech he held that time, I heard about: ‘They chose the wrong city and chose the wrong mums’ promo
That’s a really strong message promo
“With all of the rivalry with Everton, especially around the games, I don’t think we have any issues with each other left or right of games promo
This just shows how united we are in these moments, and that’s really big promo
He found the right words for it promo
My condolences to the family promo
I hope they are OK promo

It’s a joyous circus promo
This Saturday in Saudi Arabia, the first trick will be the ring emerging from a 26-foot hole in the ground and then the real magic will start promo
Tyson Fury, the unbeaten heavyweight champion of the world, will then appear inside a giant neon beam and, wearing a crown, he will bow to the crowd and the dignitaries promo
In the opposite corner, as the magic continues, will be Francis Ngannou, a man who has never once fought a promo boxing match, and under this giant canopy of created rivalry, one of the biggest fights in history will take place promo
If that is not a ‘Hey, Presto’ moment, then I don’t know what is! In front of 20,000 people, including a dozen former heavyweight world champions, and some of the wealthiest men on Earth, the best heavyweight in the promo boxing world will fight the best heavyweight in the MMA world to see who is the Baddest Man on the Planet promo
It is a genius, simple and lunatic idea promo
It is not the first and it will not be the last circus fight involving a legitimate heavyweight boxer promo
RecommendedFury vs Ngannou pay-per-view price revealed ahead of controversial fightOleksandr Usyk predicts Joshua vs Wilder and makes Tyson Fury revelationAnthony Joshua admits to watching Tyson Fury’s Netflix show: ‘I’m enjoying it’Muhammad Ali had a 15-round bore fest with a wrestler called Antonio Inoki, Rocky Balboa met Hulk Hogan, Chuck Wepner fought Andre The Giant, and Two-Ton Tony Galento knocked out an octopus promo
I need to point out that the octopus was actually deceased before the first bell promo
Fury also has a massive advantage in his fight, which will be conducted under the rules of the British promo Boxing Board of Control, because kicks, chokeholds, headbutts, flying elbows and knees to the head will be banned promo
In short, Ngannou has had all his tools withdrawn promo
However, Ngannou has been trained by Mike Tyson, had a crash-course in promo boxing’s darkest arts by the dirtiest fighter in the world, and his punch has been registered as the hardest in history promo
The science is available to prove just how lethal Ngannou’s right hand is, but even I draw the line somewhere promo
Ngannou knocking out Jair Rozenstruik inside 20 seconds (Getty)Fury is a genuine promo boxing giant and will tower over Ngannou once the anthems, introductions and pleasantries have been conducted by Michael Buffer, the suave voice of promo boxing promo
Ngannou will, trust me, shrink once he takes up a traditional promo boxing pose and his stated height of 6ft 4in will be in the permanent shadow of Fury promo
And then the beating will start; Fury is a truly vicious man inside the ropes promo
There are stupid claims that Ngannou has a “puncher’s chance”, which is like saying that any car, on any street, driven by anybody, could have won the F1 in Texas last weekend promo
Ngannou has no chance of winning and that is fine, but this is still a real fight, it’s just not a competitive one promo
It is an event and, as I said, we have had hundreds of sanctioned fights like this promo
The lovers and believers in the MMA dream will be praying to the fighting lords for a miracle; they are both delusional and out of luck promo
Fury celebrates his stoppage win over Dillian Whyte in 2022 (AP)In 2000, Mike Tyson knocked out British heavyweight Julius Francis and the promoter, Frank Warren, who also promotes this fight, spent two months telling people: “This is not a fight, it is an event promo
” Warren was right and it was a great event promo
Francis, incidentally, sold the advertising space on soles of his shows to a national paper to make a few extra quid promo
The paper got a bargain promo
Fury will hold court in a country where the ruling elite know how to hold court promo
He will be draped in traditional clothing, sip tea from gold urns, have giant kestrels rest on his giant fists and bow respectfully each time he is honoured promo
It will be a fun circus and Ngannou, with the other Tyson in his face, will prepare like Rocky did in the first movie promo
It will be a wonderful carnival promo
There is bold talk of a rematch with Ngannou under MMA rules and that will never happen promo
On Saturday night, as Mike Tyson tends to Ngannou’s blood-stained face, there will be a cameo in the ring by Oleksandr Usyk, the other heavyweight champion, and a new carnival will start for Fury v Usyk promo
What a business promo
