Everton chairman Kenwright praises Moyes

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has expressed his delight at the form of the team under manager David Moyes.

Kenwright was especially pleased with the Toffees performance in recently making the FA Cup semi-final where they will meet Manchester United.

"It's great for us," Kenwright told the club's official website.

"There was a bit of tension in the boardroom just before the draw, but we knew we were going to have to beat them [United] either in the final or the semi-final.

"It was certainly beyond my wildest dreams at the start of the season, but there won't be a prouder chairman in the world that weekend.

"What he [Moyes] has done is just remarkable. I have to say it's been an odd season of upheaval at this football club.

"I'm always a very proud chairman. I was a very proud chairman at Macclesfield and I will be the proudest chairman in the world at Wembley - so proud."
