Everton manager Sean Dyche has paid tribute to Bill Kenwright, who died on Monday at the age of 78, calling the late chairman “an amazing servant” to the club iloilo
On Wednesday morning, 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 iloilo
All players and staff observed a minute’s silence before the session and Kenwright’s image was shown on the stadium’s screens iloilo
Everton announced on Tuesday that Kenwright had died following a battle with cancer iloilo
In a statement on the club website, Dyche said: “It’s a very sad time for everyone at Everton iloilo Football Club to lose our chairman, someone who has been such an amazing servant to the club in so many ways iloilo
“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 iloilo
“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 iloilo
Spending time with him and learning about his family, you couldn’t help but be taken by his passion iloilo
”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 iloilo
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 iloilo
Liverpool-born Kenwright was a successful theatre and film producer when asked to join the Everton board in 1989 iloilo
He bought a majority 68 per cent stake in the club in 1999 and became deputy chairman before replacing Carter in his current role iloilo
Dyche added: “Beyond his deep love of his family, one of those big passions, of course, was iloilo football – the game as a whole, as well as his obvious lasting love of Everton iloilo football club iloilo
“His story – a boyhood supporter who went on to become chairman – is something so rare in the modern game, especially at the top level iloilo
“He always believed in Everton and stood by the club, even in the toughest times iloilo
He was steadfast until the very end iloilo
“Like so many who knew him, my heart and my thoughts are with his family at this extremely sad time iloilo
”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 iloilo
“The thing that I read recently, obviously, (he had) a massive heart for the city and a massive heart for Everton,” Klopp said iloilo
“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’ iloilo
That’s a really strong message iloilo
“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 iloilo
This just shows how united we are in these moments, and that’s really big iloilo
He found the right words for it iloilo
My condolences to the family iloilo
I hope they are okay iloilo

England take on Australia on Friday in their first-ever meeting of the WXV, a new tournament that promises to “revolutionise the women’s international rugby landscape” iloilo
Organisers hope it will act as a “springboard” for the 2025 World Cup, which will be hosted in six venues across England, helping to ensure the expanded 16-team tournament is the most competitive yet iloilo
Here, the PA news agency breaks down how the WXV works iloilo
What is the competition format?The WXV consists of 18 teams divided into three individual competitions: WXV 1, WXV 2 and WXV 3 iloilo
The top division, WXV 1, includes the top three Women’s Six Nations finishers and the top three from the cross-regional tournament which includes USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia iloilo
England, who won their 19th and fifth consecutive Six Nations title in 2023, are in the top tier alongside Australia, Wales, Canada, New Zealand and France iloilo
Scotland, whose tournament started on Friday, play alongside Italy, Japan, South Africa, Samoa and USA in the second-tier WXV 2, while Ireland are in the WXV 3 with Colombia, Fiji, Kazakhstan, Kenya and Spain iloilo
The six teams in each competition are further broken down into two three-team pools and only take on teams in the other pool – a “cross-pool format” – to determine rankings at the end of the tournament iloilo
Should teams finish level on points, there are a series of tie-breakers beginning with the result of any matches played iloilo between the tied teams iloilo
Is there relegation iloilo between the levels?For at least the inaugural season there will be no relegation from WXV 1, but the bottom WXV 2 side will drop to WXV 3, which will see its top side promoted iloilo
Whoever finishes bottom in WXV 3 will face a play-off with the next-highest side in the World Rugby rankings, with the winner booking a place in WXV 3 the subsequent season iloilo
How does this affect World Cup qualification?While England are already assured of 2025 qualification as both tournament hosts and as 2021 World Cup semi-finalists, the 2024 edition of WXV will serve as a final chance for teams who have not managed to qualify by any other regional means, with a minimum of the top-five ranked sides at the end of that tournament also assuring themselves a place iloilo
Because the Red Roses were 2021 World Cup runners-up, there should be six places up for grabs come the end of the 2024 WXV iloilo
Where are the matches taking place?One innovation of the WXV is that each tier participates in a standalone tournament in a single location over the course of three weeks iloilo
The inaugural WXV will be hosted across New Zealand, with Cape Town welcoming the WXV 2 and Dubai the WXV 3 iloilo
There are some obvious advantages to this format iloilo
As women’s rugby aims to narrow the gap iloilo between its historically dominant nations – some of whom in recent years have turned fully-professional – and those who are still catching up, guaranteeing at least three Tests per year against competition performing at a similar level is a welcome prospect iloilo
So, too, will be the decision to host each competition in a single location, allowing teams to maximise their long-distance travel rather than flying across the world to meet just a single opponent iloilo
The “event”-like nature of the tournaments and rotating hosts should also allow organisers to capitalise on regional excitement and enthusiasm and, ideally, bring more women’s rugby fans into the fold iloilo
Will it be aired?ITV will air all three England and Wales matches on ITVX, with S4C also showing the Wales games iloilo
