Player Valuation: £8m
Not shooting the messenger @Onwards Evertonians in the slightest, but treat this clip with extreme caution, the main thrust that the deal is subject to the takeover coder and is subject to shareholder approval is entirely wrong. Everton is a private company, and these regulations are not relevant to the club.
I have informed Radio City of his error...
I used to know Tom quite well but for all his self-publicising and academic qualifications what he really knows about football finance and running a business is thin at best. However, he does have a gift for self-marketing and networking which are qualities EFC could potentially use to help get the brand out there.
I hope Moshiri will at least be more open than Bill has been at times to considering ways to engage with and leverage the likes of Grantchester and even the Tom Cannon's of this world whilst being single-minded and ruthless in reserving the final key decisions for himself.
For the very little this is worth I met Moshiri once about ten years ago when I was a partner in one of of several organisations angling to give support establishing a UK finance function a Kazakh business he had links with was looking at a possible UK listing. He created a lasting impression in one hour as a very focused, capable and determined individual. In my 25+ years in consulting and FTSE 100 businesses there aren't that many people you meet where you think "I'm out of my depth here". I cannot vouch for his good intentions but he isn't someone to do something in a half-assed way.
