That will be two transfer windows blown though mate to "establish ourselves". How long would this "window of opportunity" last?

Last summer was very disappointing and January is thought to be a difficult window, but I think it'll still take a couple of years at least to compete for top 4, id love it to quicker though. we're starting from a pretty low base 11th 2 years on he bounce!

Lol. Paying for shares is not investing.

He's loaned cash to pay off debt...which is the new long term debt.

We sold a player to pay for incoming players last summer.

We have promises of jam tomorrow on the stadium front.


Sick of hearing how better off we are under this feller. We might be in time, but now is not that time and no amount of spin can make it seem so.

Ive asked before, but no reply. Why do you support Everton? You always put an obstacle before a hurdle. Try saying something positive, it will make you feel better- honest!
 
What would be a fair estimate for actually cost of the interest free loan to Mosh?

Assuming he wouldn't just leave the money under his mattress and would invest it in some sort of fund?

What would he get back on that over 10 years?

Paying for shares is investing. He is 'investing' HIS money into Everton Football Club, to own a significant shareholding in the club, which then gives him the position of being able to affect things within the club. Just because HIS money went into Kenwright and Woods pockets and not directly into the club's coffers is completely irrelevant. Moshiri made a significant contribution by paying the necessary £89m asking price to obtain 49.9% of Everton. This is completely inarguable.

Secondly, he paid off the debts, of which we were being charged crippling interest on every year. We have had these long term debts for over 20+ years. He paid another £80m - of HIS own money - to clear these debts, that were debts attributed to something he owns 49.9% of. So he effectively now owes himself £80m. The loan is interest free. There is no timetable for repayment. He could very easily convert the loan into equity and expand his shareholding into the club that way. So again, he's made a significant financial contribution.

Running financial total spent by Moshiri thus far, based just on the two things above: £89m + £80m = £169m.

Now on to more of his spending....

Roberto Martinez threatened to take Everton to court after his dismisal, demanding £12m compensation for payment on the rest of his contract. He settled out of court with Everton, for £10m.

Add that to the money Moshiri shelled out. Plus pay offs for Martinez backroom staff.

Ronald Koeman came to Everton because we agreed to pay him £6m a year. This is double what Martinez salary was.

Since July 1st, 2016, we have spent £76.1m on signings, and have recouped £47.5m due to one player sale. Total net spend on players thus far is £28.6m.

Just for comparisons sake, during that same time period, LFC have spent £61.9m and recouped £77.8m. Which puts Moshiri's spending commitment into perspective, compared with FSG.

So all in all, thus far, in the space of less than one year, Moshiri has spent well over £200m bankrolling Everton Football Club.

And that's also including money spent doing up Goodison and also a lot of money paying the likes of Dan Meis for stadium design and all the associated costs with investigating the feasibility of Bramley Moore Dock.

It's absolutely embarrassing and shows supreme ignorance, not just to basic facts but also to Everton's financial history over the past 17-18 years - to even question Moshiri's financial backing of Everton Football Club at this point. He is totally transforming the club.

Ludicrous.

All that's been done so far is a man has bought shares as an act of speculation. That speculation will pay off massively if the proposed stadium comes off...hence his loan to the club to knock down the biggest external financial obstacle to securing that objective.

The ignorance is all yours mate for believing we all bow and scrape because a businessman is shuffling resources around with the ultimate goal of making a huge profit in the future.

As said in my post, a by-product of his endeavours in that respect might be to our advantage. MIGHT be. It just as easily might turn to ashes and he leaves us no further forward than we are now....or worse.

Not gonna lie, I fear lukaku leaving. I fear that completely negates the progress were making this season. It also sends a bad message that we aren't ambitious enough for top players. It is imperative that Moshiri gets Riola and him to sign the deal and show we mean business.

I'm not going to disagree, but do you think other teams and supporters see Rom as a 'marquee' player? Is he someone who is coveted by the best teams? Does keeping him show we mean business?
I'm really not sure either way tbh.

Sorry mate, that's utter nonsense. Everything I wrote was fact. No point even discussing this with you anymore. You're not even 'negatively spinning this', you're outright choosing not to believe/agree with bonafide facts and seem content in writing mistruths, seemingly to just get a response. I'm all for 'banter' and exchanging views, but I honestly can't take your posts seriously. It's like somebody arguing that black is white. It isn't, it's black. No amount of arguing/posting will change that black is black. I'm going to leave you in your own little world and use the ignore function from now on. For my own sanity as much as everyone else's.

In my experience yes, with the exception of kopites.

And yes keeping him does show we mean business. Selling him gives the impression that we couldn't match his ambition
