Farhad - An Objective Appraisal

Appreciate the objective and well put together words @Number_25.

I don’t like over simplification as it is the enemy of nuance but I’m gonna be that thing I dislike by assessing he, like his predecessor, overseen winless Everton decline in their period in charge of the club. The stadium he built nearly put us over the edge into a catastrophic relegation and his leveraging of the debt has left us in debt to carpet baggers. That he nearly wantonly sold us to buyers potentially worse than him shows how much concern he has for Everton’s future.

Exactly, close thread.
 
Moshiri fell at the first hurdle.

Removing Bill and all his cronies and appointing football minded directors, CEO's and what not might have resulted in something completely different.

But without that, would Bill have even sold to him? Did we have to face the worst to get through the storm?

When the dust settles, it'll be a bittersweet experience. He could have gotten it so right, he got it so wrong, it could have cost us the club.

But his legacy will always be the state of the art, waterfront stadium, something the former owner couldn't deliver even when it was granted for free in early 2000s.

In 20-30 years people won't remember us begging around 777 Partners, but they can't forget the new stadium.
 
He wasn’t the first or the last person to be taken in by his evil predecessor’s manipulations but history will look back favourably on him for the stadium and for that we should all thank him

Hi mate. You missed the part where he tried for 9 months to sell us to a Ponzi scheme and saddled us with £200m of illegally obtained debt that is subject to an ongoing court case and nearly scuppered the sale. Among many other forgotten parts.

Let’s not let facts get in the way of a good story!

Bill had too sell though as Green needed his money back. What always gets me is how Kenwright was able to insert all these caveats into the sale that enabled him to stay on. Moshiri could have easily I want to put my own people in otherwise no sale, Kenwright was desperate and was in no position to refuse tbh. This is were I think RMF are probably mixed up a lot more than we think imo.
