The article is neither highly critical or particularly revelation army. Most of what he says has been said by others on here, just without the enticing headline that hints at 'mystery'. Nothing mysterious is revealed.
The most shocking revelation in their for Everton fans is the fact that Kenwright is "still negotiating the deals for player signings"!

The moves we're making off the field will allow us to bridge that gap on the field.
We've brought in a very highly rated manager and DOF, who are both proving their worth in exactly the way Moshiri had planned. Moshiri has also been incredibly smart by getting on the right side of the two most powerful people in football: Mendes and Raiola.
Every season there's a high spending team which slips up. If we're consistent and play like we have been since December, we can finish above a couple of them.
Not necessarily this season of course, but we're doing everything the right way.
What you have to remember is that we can't just force players to join. I think the funds are available (especially as Moshiri himself confirmed we were bidding huge sums for Koulibaly), but it's being able to use the funds for players who can justify those fees. We have the funds but not the bottomless pit of Man City etc, and so we need to be smart with every transfer.
Our issue is attracting those players and considering how poor we've been in the past two seasons, it's not something that happens overnight.
If we finish top 7 this season and get into Europe, we'll be a completely different proposition for players.
We'll be great again mate, I'm sure.

While we keep hearing about the highlighted bit, in reality who are we biding for? Delfodils of this world will not win us boo. I'm no seeing the actions matching the words.
Hope things are different in the background with negotiations, but I'm not seeing it at the minute.

It's definitely frustrating and I'm sure the likes of Moshiri are just as frustrated that we haven't been able to secure the Matas/Witsel/Koulibalys' of the football world.
Every day I'm hoping we sign up those players and that there's concrete proof that the money is there, but I can't see it happening until the summer personally.
Grand plans need grand foundations, and I think the top 7 finish will be enough to show to players that it's not just dreams.
A strong finish on the pitch is key for me. If Koeman can prove he can get close (to me, "close" is around 6 points off top 4) with the current squad, it might just spark players into thinking they can be the ones to bridge that gap.

I said it day one with Moshiri and I say it again. For me he needs a big name marquee signing. Players and agents aren't as gullible as supporters. All the talk in the world doesn't mean anything without action.

Mate, not asking for the elite in world football. Any indication we have the funds to bid for a top player. Moshiri's words are not matching the actions to date is what I am saying.

“We want to be competitive, we want to win” - Moshiri sets out Everton vision
Read this - and prepared to get excited

Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri says he is determined to establish the club among English football’s elite as quickly as possible.
Moshiri also revealed how his early meetings with Bill Kenwright convinced him to join the club and his optimism for the future.
Moshiri was speaking at the Everton’s AGM, the first since he purchased a majority shareholding in the club last March.
During an eventful meeting Everton confirmed progress was being made on a new stadium, fresh investment had been secured and a season ticket price freeze.
It was Moshiri’s comments that got Evertonians most excited though, with the Iranian-born businessman showing the kind of ambition and vision the club have lacked since Sir John Moores in the 1960s and 1970s.

Practicality or preference? The big question facing Everton’s new stadium
No confirmation at AGM for new stadium location
Speaking to the gathered shareholders at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, Moshiri said:
“The day I went to Bill’s office was a very special day. I had a look at a number of clubs. I wanted to be involved in a club. The reason I got into Arsenal is my business partner is a crazy Arsenal fan. Bill’s office had a real impression on me, This is a man totally obsessed with what he is doing. His enthusiasm for Everton is infectious. ‘Bill look at the debts!’ Bill responds ‘No, these are assets’ His heart was Everton.
“We became friends and he met my family, and after a while there was no other option for me - it was Everton. I really enjoyed Everton.
“It has far exceeded my expectations and everything about it - the train journeys and meeting the fans. They are really special fans. They keep on buying beer for me! I don't drink beer. But they are very, very special."
“It is not enough to say 'we are special'. We don’t want to be a museum. We need to be competitive and we need to win. The gold standard is the Premier League. The league is where our competitive edge will be measured.
“We have a window to establish ourselves and we will do everything we can. Bill over the last 20 years, through his sheer dedication, has kept the Club close to the elite.
“Now we need to look at sustainability to be amongst the elite. It takes time, but we are committed. That is why we are here.”
Bill Kenwright was typically gushing in his praise for Moshiri and the working relationship they have struck up over the past 18 months.
Kenwright also had a message for manager Ronald Koeman and director of football Steve Walsh - to end Everton’s 21-year wait for a trophy:
“It was a long, long search in which many, many people came forward. 18 months ago, maybe longer, Farhad came to see me. I felt, instantly. This was a man who could get us out of the problem times where we had to plead at the bank every week. His love of football, not just Everton, was astonishing. He knew more about football than anyone I’ve ever met.
“Last year, for me, hasn’t been easy but if I hadn’t had Farhad it would have been much more difficult. He wants to sign more players than you or I do. ‘We’ll get him, we’ll get him, we’ll get him”
“We’ve got to bring some silverware. I’m sure Farhad, Ronald and Steve...that’s what we’re going for. This is a very special moment, I believe. We want that FA Cup, Ronald. We really do.”
