Farhad Moshiri

I'm hearing this a lot, but it confounds the info we have that this has been in place provisionally for 12 months. So, no, I dont feel the need to give this feller a lot of slack on making key announcements.

Once the PL ratify this deal then we should have an exhaustive account from him and the club concerning the plan he's got for us.

We're not Accrington Stanley, we are Everton and we deserve to be treated like the 4th most successful club in English history. Our fans have to be consulted about all this. Silence and just moving on to the summer with vague wish lists wont cut it, I'm afraid.

you burn my head out the rants you go on mate lol give the fella a chance .

People understand that being worth £1.3 billion doesn't mean you have it in the bank yeah?

granchester has no interest in everton i don't think mate.

He has no interest, yet he still attends home games and still retains a 7.95% share in the club, worth £3.6m.

He's a peripheral figure granted (the rumour has always been him and Kenwright don't get on) but his shareholding could still be important going forward.

No interest in spending any of his fortune on everton........yes correct

Get Southall in NOW

Of course they know that, but we are in a much better situation money wise.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

This is a great point. We know that Kenwright & Woods together now own less than 19%, and the breakdown of what they now individually own will be interesting when it is revealed. It's possible that Granchester will own bigger percentage share than Woods, yet Woods will be on the board and Granchester won't be.

Which makes Granchester a potentially interesting ally for Moshiri in the future.

Isn't Grantchester's Ma still the owner of the estate?

That applies to pretty much every billionaire. John W Henry is worth £200m less than Moshiri, and Henry doesn't have £1.1 billion in the bank either.

What it does mean, if you're that rich, is that you probably do know other massively rich people that might be able to help.

I wonder how much of Grantchester's fortune is in land and therefore not accessible given it'll all be passed down to his son. Not that he couldn't raise money on the back of that of course.

...we could build a new ground on a patch of his land.

More importantly it means you can leverage borrowings at sensible rates

I thought Grantchester was believed to be unwilling to fund everton as long as Kenwright was involved. Sure i read that somewhere....

 

[Onwards Evertonians]

Reports yesterday say he is worth £1.5 billion in cash terms and the same again tied up in investements.

Been a very long saga that. Thankfully, we seem to moving ahead now.

Doesn't really matter if he's worth £1bn, £1.5bn or £2bn, it doesn't make any difference in the scheme of things. It's his business acumen and contacts that will really make the difference.

 

[Onwards Evertonians]

Get in.

And estimates can be wide of the mark. Share prices, sales and transfers and the such which are complex and not reported or known means that Moshiri could be reported as worth a lot more come the next forbes billionaires list (which I think comes in March).

The Wikipedia entry for British billionaires list has Moshiri at number 17 with $2.8 billion in 2014. Personally I think he is worth a lot more than £1.3 billion. The £200m for 15% of Arsenal imo is also wide of the mark, but who knows.
