And then there was one…
A boardroom exodus some 15 days after the final whistle blew on the 1-0 win over Bournemouth that secured Everton’s Premier League survival but just a couple of hours after reports were published revealing that Carlo Ancelotti was preparing to sue his former employers saw chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Chief Finance and Strategy Officer Grant Ingles and Non-Executive Director Graeme Sharp all depart. Only chairman Bill Kenwright, for now, remains.
The same club release that announced the departures of the other three board members, added that a statement will be made about interim appointments and the future of the 77-year-old who has taken to referring to himself in dialogue with supporters as “Chairman Bill” in the next 48 hours. The news was swift and decisive and within minutes of the announcement the top of the “Our People” section of Everton’s website were the board of directors are placed was duly culled with the previous quartet reduced to a solitary snap of Kenwright.
