Once in a while you post pure gold Matthew

Can someone please summarise that into one or two paragraphs and ideally less that 100 words.

Stadium is boss, rest was a shitshow. Now koff.


*this is purely a guess as I really haven't read it.

 

[goldfinchmule]

He looks realy weird.

 

[Neiler]

A Pox.

As others have said: credit for the stadium and absolutely nothing else.

He might have found a decent buyer to sell to, but that’s because they offered him more than anyone else. It’s nothing to do with business acumen.

He’d have preferred to have left us burning with 777 because they offered him more.

Having said all that, I think we may look back on the new stadium as being the turning point in the recent history of Everton FC - and as such, he might be viewed more favourably on the whole in hindsight.

But that’s it. I don’t think it’s a complex issue worthy of great debate.

With the news that criminal scum Farhad Moshiri has agreed, in principle, to sell Everton Football Club to Dan Friedkin, it is only fitting to reflect on Moshiri’s cursed tenure as majority shareholder. His time at the helm has seen considerable lows, yet a balanced evaluation of his contribution is warranted, particularly now as the club faces a fresh chapter. One of Moshiri’s most visible legacies will be his inability to do or say anything right ever.

The value of a modern, world-class stadium can be overstated, and people do so frequently, ignoring real world examples of new stadiums which did little to nothing to change a club's fortunes (may have made the owner more profit though). Here's a bloke pointing ...

In a footballing climate where many clubs have struggled under the weight of mounting debt, Moshiri’s efforts to clear Everton’s liabilities through the sale highlight his strategic foresight to focus exclusively on struggling on the pitch. This move shows a businessman life form who, despite exclusively missteps in sporting decisions, has demonstrated the kind of financial prudence that can only be learned while being an accountant for the mafia, leading you to ignore all rules until finally cleaning things up (too little too late) to avoid punishment.

Another point often overlooked in discussions about Moshiri’s tenure is the very recent control of Everton’s wage bill. In a footballing world where spiraling wages frequently outstrip revenues, the fact that Everton had one of the highest wage bills (relative to income) in the entirety of world football is something this article aims to ignore entirely, instead focusing only on what happened very recently after Everton had to get things under control to avoid more points deductions. This failure of Moshiri is then spun as a positive, in what is a bunch of absolute bollocks at best, and literal propaganda at worst. Thumbs up!

When Farhad Moshiri arrived at Everton in 2016, he did so with the promise of ushering in a new era of dirty money and unforced errors. One of his early moves was to be so brain dead as to not realize that long-time chairman Bill Kenwright didn't know what he was talking about. Moshiri’s arrival was, in this sense, a double-edged sword – a departure from being run by a local and emotional moron who didn't know anything about football like Bill Kenwright; toward a more Russian mafia focused gang of morons who don't know anything about fooball.

In some other ways however, Moshiri's arrival was like a single-edged sword, cutting through our necks and spilling our blue blood on the ground as we desperately clutch at our throats with a confused, shocked expression on our faces.

As Dan Friedkin prepares to take the reins, he inherits a club that is intelligence-free, with a stadium and players on wages. Moshiri's time at Everton was without a single moment in which anyone thought he was competent in literally any way.

Ultimately, Farhad Moshiri leaves our club a very different club than the one he took over. While silverware may have eluded him, he has recently stacked up a lot of seventeenth place trophies to fill his cabinet. The next chapter in Everton’s storied history will now be written by Dan Friedkin, who will undoubtably need to bring in the kinds of cleaning companies that come in after a bunch of murders, to remove any trace of Moshiri's fingerprints from our great club.

Apart from the stadium everything has been an absolute disaster. Every decision he's had to make has been wrong.

 

[DanB90]

He looks realy weird.

With the news that Farhad Moshiri has agreed, in principle, to sell Everton Football Club to Dan Friedkin, it is only fitting to reflect on Moshiri’s tenure as majority shareholder. His time at the helm has seen considerable highs and lows, yet a balanced evaluation of his contribution is warranted, particularly now as the club faces a fresh chapter. One of Moshiri’s most visible legacies will be the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. The project has been a longstanding ambition for Everton, and under Moshiri’s leadership, it has gone from being a dream to a reality in progress. The new stadium is not just a structure of bricks and mortar but a symbol of the club’s intent to return to the top table of English football.

The value of a modern, world-class stadium cannot be overstated. Not only does it provide a state-of-the-art facility for fans and players alike, but it also offers significant revenue-generating potential. For a club that has often been accused of lagging behind the commercial powerhouses of the Premier League, the new stadium positions Everton for future success on and off the pitch. In many ways, Moshiri's commitment to seeing this through speaks to a broader vision for the club, even if results on the pitch have not always followed suit.

One of the key outcomes of Everton’s pending sale to Dan Friedkin is that the club will reportedly become debt-free, a significant achievement in the world of football, where clubs frequently carry heavy financial burdens. This development is a testament to Farhad Moshiri’s acumen as a businessman, demonstrating his ability to navigate complex financial landscapes and ultimately leave Everton in a more secure position than when he first took charge. While Moshiri’s tenure is often critiqued for its on-pitch turbulence and managerial changes, his ability to ensure that the club’s financial health would be stabilised upon his departure should not be overlooked.

In a footballing climate where many clubs have struggled under the weight of mounting debt, Moshiri’s efforts to clear Everton’s liabilities through the sale highlight his strategic foresight. By ensuring the club is sold debt-free, Moshiri not only strengthens Everton’s financial foundations but also enhances its appeal to prospective buyers. This move shows a businessman who, despite some missteps in sporting decisions, has demonstrated financial prudence and responsibility. It is a departure from the common narrative of football owners burdening clubs with unsustainable debt and instead reflects Moshiri’s desire to leave the club in a stable position for the long term. Ultimately, this financial outcome underlines Moshiri’s capability to manage significant investments while maintaining a clear exit strategy that benefits the club and secures its future under new ownership. It’s important to remember that, throughout his ownership, Moshiri invested heavily in the club. Whether through player signings, managerial changes, or infrastructure development, he poured substantial resources into Everton. However, like many ambitious owners, some of these investments didn’t bear fruit. The sale, and the club’s debt-free status, offers a crucial reset.

Another point often overlooked in discussions about Moshiri’s tenure is the relative control of Everton’s wage bill. In a footballing world where spiralling wages frequently outstrip revenues, this is an achievement worth noting. The current squad’s wage bill, while not insignificant, is managed carefully in comparison to many of Everton’s Premier League rivals. While the club has spent substantial sums on transfers, Moshiri and the board ensured that the wage structure remained sustainable. This discipline will serve the club well in the coming years, particularly under new ownership. Friedkin’s group will have more flexibility to invest in players and rebuild the squad without the burden of a bloated payroll hanging over them.

When Farhad Moshiri arrived at Everton in 2016, he did so with the promise of ushering in a new era of modernisation and ambition. One of his early moves was to wrestle control from long-time chairman Bill Kenwright, a man revered by some but seen as a relic of the past by others. This transition was not without its challenges or controversies. For many fans, Kenwright was synonymous with the club’s identity. His deep ties to Merseyside and his genuine love for Everton made him a revered figure, especially in a football world increasingly dominated by foreign owners with no local or emotional connection to the clubs they purchased. Yet for others, Kenwright represented a past that was holding Everton back. His reluctance to take on significant debt and his cautious approach to investment were increasingly viewed as impediments to the club's progress. Moshiri’s arrival was, in this sense, a double-edged sword – a departure from the local and emotional roots that Kenwright embodied, but a necessary step toward competing at the top of the Premier League. Moshiri’s influence undoubtedly signalled a shift away from the more sentimental, locally-focused stewardship of Kenwright towards a more pragmatic, global outlook.

As Dan Friedkin prepares to take the reins, he inherits a club that is debt-free, with a world-class stadium on the horizon and a wage structure that leaves room for future investment. Moshiri's time at Everton was not without its challenges, but his contributions, especially in the areas of infrastructure and financial stability, will be crucial building blocks for the future.

Ultimately, Farhad Moshiri leaves our club a very different club than the one he took over. While silverware may have eluded him, his tenure has laid the groundwork for what could be a more prosperous future. The next chapter in Everton’s storied history will now be written by Dan Friedkin, but Moshiri's fingerprints will remain.

Dan Freidkin isn't inheriting "a club that is debt-free"

Dan Friedkin is paying off some of those debts from his own pocket!

One of the key outcomes of Everton’s pending sale to Dan Friedkin is that the club will reportedly become debt-free, a significant achievement in the world of football, where clubs frequently carry heavy financial burdens.

Utter tosh!

The “he built the stadium so he did well” crowd are utterly thick. I’m sorry but you are. If the worst owner in English football could get the stadium built than LITERALLY ANY OTHER owner of comparative wealth could.

If you can’t see that a guy who in 10 years has made a club that was looking to push for Champions League spots/ getting into Europe into perennial relegation candidates, made the entire sport think they’re bent, got the club into some proper dodgy debt, hired Benitez, Lampard and Dyche and has alienated a fanbase and pushed most of the youth of Liverpool to support the RS has been an utterly terrible owner then you are a salesman’s dream, and I worry for you the next time someone on the street comes up to you asking if you’ve ever considered the church of scientology.
