Took the words right out of my mouth.

In the modern game, fans are customers. They pay money for a "service" (entertainment). If you're not happy with the "service" provided then, like any other line of business, you're welcome to take your money to a "competitor". Football isn't a sport any more, it hasn't been a sport since Sky "invented" football in 1992. Sad, but that's the way it is.

Don't agree with this.

Fan power exists just as much now as it did pre-Sky. In fact, I think at Everton the supporters have more of a say now than ever. We are consulted on a wide range of things.

WHAT IS EVERTON’S NET SPEND UNDER FARHAD MOSHIRI?
Everton ended the transfer window with two big signings and a loan for the u23s.

But with several outgoings and a lack of cover at full back and up front, are Everton fans right to worry about how deep the pockets of Farhad Moshiri actually are?

The answer, as expected, is ‘not really’.

A look at Everton’s transfer spending since summer 2016 shows the club has spent around £15 million more than it has brought in.

Big fees for Morgan Schneiderlin (£22m) and Yannick Bolasie (£25m), as well as double figures for Ashley Williams (£12m) and Ademola Lookman (£11m) take Everton’s spending to above £50m.

Smaller fees were paid for Idrissa Gana Gueye (£7m) and Maarten Stekelenburg (£1m) and youngsters such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£1.5m).
The total spending on permanent transfers is £79.5m.

In comparison outgoings are topped by John Stones’ £47.5m move to Manchester City, followed by Bryan Oviedo and Darren Gibson departing for £7.5m.

Ryan Ledson also departed for a nominal fee, but given Bassala Sambou joined for a similar deal, we can take those out of the equation.
That leaves a spend of £24.5m since the summer transfer window.

Loans

Everton have secured the loan of Enner Valencia, with a fee of £1m minimum. A smaller fee has been paid for Anton Donkor, with a £1.5m clause at the end of the season if Everton decide to make it permanent.

In outgoings, a host of Everton players have departed on loan. AC Milan eventually paid a sub-£1m fee for Gerard Deulofeu, while it is unlikely Hull City paid anything to take Oumar Niasse’s wages off our hands.

Tom Cleverely commanded a fee – and will almost definitely go for £8m in the summer.

But even counting up the various loans deals and eventual fees (assuming Hull go down and don’t buy Niasse), Everton have still paid around £15m on players since the summer.

Is that enough?

For many fans that represents a sell-to-buy policy but with big money signings in the club’s sights in the summer – Michael Keane for £25m among them – the club is spending.

Martinez and his merry band of backroom staff cost the club upwards of £10m in the summer while compensation of around £6m for Ronald Koeman and his team has further drained the coffers.

That takes the spend up to £30m in Everton’s quest to rebuild the club.

Even more importantly, getting Niasse (£55K), Cleverley (£55K), Deulofeu (£45K), Gibson (£30K) and Oviedo (£25K), as well as McAleny, Rodriguez (£10K) off the wage bill will free up over £250,000 per week in wages (before incomings).

That means Everton are in a position to pay high wages for top players without endangering the Financial Fair Play position of the club if they reach Europe.

So far the signs are good. The squad is leaner but better placed to secure a good finish, the manager’s vision is coming to fruition and the stadium move is being planned.

Farhad Moshiri has also paid off much of the club’s debt with an £80m interest-free loan that many expect will be converted to equity at some point in the future.

That takes his spending to over £110m in just 12 months – an unprecedented level considering the club’s last two decades of frugality.

New commercial deals with Alisher Usmanov’s USM for Finch Farm sponsorship and a deal with Sure are the beginning of a commercial revolution at the club too.

Which all adds up to a bright future for Everton.

I'm judging him on the summer window and the stadium progress.

I might offer that the 'lack' of totally blowing the fictitious 100M warchest might mean that the Stadium is really, really, ON.

and both the windows were of the softly, softly / it's a marathon not a sprint variety with the added bonus of most of the usual suspects moved on

It's all part of the overall Moshiri Plan - I hope
 

For me question marks still remain about FM, everyone was excited by his well publicised lines at the Shareholders General Meeting which has left everyone excited but feeling deflated after the end to the transfer window in which FM claimed this transfer window "To establish ourselves and we`ll do everything we can."

Bill also exclaimed "He (FM) wants to sign more players than you want to sign." Yet we sit here today with a dangerously thin squad and having to rely on unproven youngsters below that and a transfer net spend of just £15m when TV deals are higher than they have ever been.

When he talks about being "established" in this window, have we already done it? Happy to establish ourselves 7th whilst living within our means like we have done before under BK. Where is the ambition to break the top 6 or even top 4. I just fear we have got close to it but because of the size of the squad we lack the strength in depth to break them.

People will point towards the loan he has put up of £80m but as the piece above observes this will more than likely be turned in to equity which no doubt means he will own the club in time. This hasn't been put in `for nothing`. I`m not a supporter of BK and I think if BK had said these things we would be looking for some sort of noticeable difference.

I`d like to have shown our ambition to break the top 4 during the transfer window but if we are taking it slow I`m sure we will all hope to see the difference on the pitch next season.

And with FM it would be interesting to know what his plans are, because it all still feels a bit samey same with nothing new happening, obviously Everton have paid for a new `skin` for the stadium but with no news emerging about any potential new stadium I worry the longer it goes on the more chance that this will not happen, but we will see. I just hope it will be something iconic, but that would come with a massive pricetag and can we compete with what is being built elsewhere?

Its not a bashing, just pointing out the jury on him is still out and it is very much a case of wait and see. But how long does he get?

After all we have had many false dawns, Everton aren't we?
 

This legit?



Forbes website has that as the figure as of today. That would be ~£1.9b, and most were reporting his wealth around the time of the takeover as around £1.4b.

So he seems to have found around half a billion quid since then.

Down the side of the sofa in pound coins and fifty p's no doubt.
