Firstly, he is not 'skint'. He is worth £1.6 BILLION, which is more than 48 times what Bill Kenwright is worth (£33m).

Secondly, you completely miss the point. There's a LOT of difference between an owner worth £33m and an owner worth £1.6 BILLION, but there is not much difference (as mad as it sounds) between an owner worth £1.6 BILLION and an owner worth £2.4 BILLION. There is only so much you can spend on a club during any one period due to FFP rules. And also some owners don't want to spend to improve their club (Southampton, Sunderland). And some owners simply can't attract people to their club, no matter how 'rich' the owner is (Southampton, Sunderland). What having a billionaire owner does is give you access to another market, and also it becomes more about who you know at that point, in terms who can help you progress. 'Money knows Money' is the old saying. The type of circles Moshiri moves in will be different than the type of circles Kenwright moves in.

Has Ellis Short's richer personal wealth helped Sunderland progress better than Everton? He's owned them for the last 8 years. They look odds-on at this point to finally get relegated this season.

Moshiri has already done great things for this club and will do even more in the next 3-5 years.

Anyone claiming 'he's a fraud' at this point is simply trolling for a reaction. What Moshiri has already done is pretty damn clear to see, between the new management structure, the first major upgrade of Goodison Park for 23 years, the tangible progress on the new stadium front. Clubs don't have their full board (who live all around the country) and the mayor of the city all meet at a derelict site just for a laugh. Clearly, something major is happening behind the scenes.

even that is just an estimate, no one knows exactly how much hes worth
 

He honestly hasn't done anything. Sacking an utter clown isn't something worthy of praise, it's what anyone with half a brain would have done. You could even argue that he left it well too late. There's no way we should have gone to Wembley with Martinez in charge.
