I suspect that Moshiri first went to Peel and the Council and put it to them that BMD and that whole Northern quarter was simply sitting idling away and that he would offer his services as a conduit to access other global investors to come into the city and put in redevelopment money on the proviso that we could build a stadium on the river front. This would have been too great an opportunity to turn down for both parties and, indeed, wholly suicidal if rejected as it would put back any regeneration for years to come. As it is there is now a catalyst for growth and a momentum which will be difficult to stop. I am sue Peel secretly must love Moshiri.

Everton are still waiting to see just how ambitious Farhad Moshiri really is
Games at Liverpool and Manchester United showed that a crucial summer awaits the Blues in the transfer market
BYBARRY HORNE
Everton had two huge fixtures in the space of four days this week but ultimately they showed how far the Blues still have to go when it comes to matching the real top sides and just how crucial a summer it will be for us in the transfer market.
The matches themselves proved quite contrasting yet they both served as a reality check because Everton fell short.
There are great strides being made off the field under Farhad Moshiri’s stewardship but it mostly remains promise for now with little tangible as yet when it comes to showing just how ambitious the club’s majority shareholder really is.
A string of big names were linked to the club last summer for huge fees but for now Romelu Lukaku – brought in before Moshiri’s tenure – remains the club’s record signing.

I’m not being pessimistic just realistic because unless you’re already in the Champions League you’re not going to attract the top players and most of the teams who are in that elite group in this country have more more going for them in that respect than Everton because they’re either in London or have more money like the two Manchester clubs.
Everton will be counting on director of football Steve Walsh working his magic this summer as he is credited as being the man whose shrewd signings inspired Leicester City to their shock Premier League title success.
The combination of his acumen along with Ronald Koeman who has a fabulous knowledge of continental football should ensure a suitable list of targets has been drawn up when it comes to strengthening the squad.

It could well be the case that we bring in some players who people are not really familiar with but who go on to have a good couple of years or so at Goodison.
While Evertonians will always see their club as being where they were for decades as part of the elite, we are now often viewed as a platform to move on from for players like Lukaku and that’s why it’s so difficult to try and break into that group.
Players will want to move on to established Champions League clubs, you just hope that you can try and bridge the gap and qualify yourself in the meantime.
Everton has got a fantastic history and fantastic fans but that’s just where we are.
Everton's total fees to agents revealed
Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud of our team and it is great to see the likes of Tom Davies, Matthew Pennington, Mason Holgate and Dominic Calvert-Lewin out there but even combined with their more expensive team-mates, our side still cost a fraction of either Liverpool’s or Manchester United’s.
At Anfield we were poor from goalkeeper to centre-forward and everything in between.
Maybe we’ve got carried away at times in thinking the team just might be able to make a late push for the top four but the truly great players make their mark in these games.
Three's a crowd - I hope we don't see that system against a Leicester side with their mojo back
With Ashley Williams suspended against Leicester City I hope that Koeman isn’t tempted to go with safety in numbers and play three centre-backs.
Unless you’re really well drilled in playing a three-man defence I fear that nobody truly knows their role in the system.
Look at where Everton’s defenders were situated for Liverpool’s first goal in the derby, they all seemed to drift and think that the next man was going to pick Sadio Mane up.

Ultimately none of them did and while there were about three players within a couple of yards of him when he shot, none of them were able to get close.
Saying that, the shot should not have been enough to go in and having seen it replayed several times now I still can’t understand how it’s ended up in the net - it was really poor from our point of view.
Don’t be mistaken, Leicester are going to prove as great a threat as either Liverpool or Manchester United.
Their confidence is sky high again and they’ve got their mojo back since Claudio Ranieri’s sacking, drawing upon that feeling of a year ago.

A little bit unfair, without Horne we would have been relegated and he was an integral part of our last trophy winning team. So a middling player at worst.
As for every man knows there is no quick fix, I can think of one or two who frequent this forum who disagree...

God that Blueroom just pumps out sycophantic crap , the same old stuff recycled IanFrand
Big shout to @Adam-GOTTV I was really sceptical at first but there is variety to your content. Blueroom stuff is just "oh hail mighty moshiri God bless blue bill for finding him".

Nice one Gandhi, love your work too.
On the first part he was part of the team that got us in that perilous position in the first place. We've had far too many players like him over the years ....not good enough.A little bit unfair, without Horne we would have been relegated and he was an integral part of our last trophy winning team. So a middling player at worst.

Secondly there's one or two on here that would still find fault if they won the lottery , picked the National winner and we signed Messi

Him, and his mates, see massive potential in the Liverpool Waters development, not a doubt in my mind on that.
Having him/them owning the Liver Building, and sorting out a fantastic stadium at the other end of the whole thing makes massive sense.

It shows he is committed to the area not just Everton, unlike some foreign owners who never go near the city the team they own plays in, no wonder Anderson and the council are happy to work with us.

Saudi, only got home on Wednesday. Don't get much time there to catch up.
Given the doom mongers on some of the other threads I ask the question 'Is he related to 'Sir' Philip Green?' - I think we should be told.
Given how it is looking increasingly likely we will lose our 2 best players by the start of next season, and we are already struggling to lure players of any quality to the club, has anything really changed at Everton?, how long before Moshiri realises he is wasting his time? Gylfi instead of Ross?.. jesus wept things are going to deteriorate rapidly
