A concern I voiced earlier on in his "reign", we are merely just another of his investments, he took his eye firmly off the ball last Summer, lets hope people can get it right this Summer.

Yes.

And let's all get it straight: he's done NOTHING so far.

Yes.

I dont accept hes done nothing, hes done very well outside the transfer windows.

Oh yeah "the paying off of debt". In reality the change of owner of our debt.

he has not progressed us on the pitch, which ultimately is all that matters.

You act like an interest free loan of 80m is "nothing", its a pretty big thing David.

It allowed us to shift a Clown on and recruit a 9 times trophy winner.
It gave us freedom to give Goodison something more than a lick of paint for once.
It gives us a platform to grow.

all that matters is world class players on the pitch, anything else is pointless

Which vastly improves our credit rating, which allows LCC to do that guarantee thing, (window shopping in reality,) which means big property investors are suddenly very interested in what we have going on.

So, yeah an accounting trick on one hand, but an incredibly important one on the other. (And one that only a Billionaire can underwrite)

I don't see how he could have done much better. We probably overreached in terms of the players we were after, not helped that they used us to get better deals or moves elsewhere. If they just gave a flat no then we probably would have probably had more time to hit secondary targets instead of the jumble sale we ended up in.

I expect us to do better but we will have a similar issue attracting significantly better players than the ones we already have. We will be gambling on the next generation talent that Walsh can identify.

all very nice, what matters is recruitment of world class players that will make people take notice, I have yet to see any intent in this area

Schneiderlin is a decent footballer and probably about the highest profile we can attract at the moment.

Well, you need to be able to buy said players, and with all them pesky rules in the way, the growth of the club/revenue is equally important.

But carry on stamping your feet.

any decent player given a choice will always pick the "not Everton" option they have to be desperate to join, until Moshiri gets off his arse and puts some serious wonga in place to change people's minds we will carry on the fight for 7th

so we cant buy even one or two?

Hope so.

I share your frustration.

the fabulous new era promised by Moshiri has not materialised, we are further behind with every passing day, fair play to his team of spin doctors who have convinced people something worthwhile is happening which is reflected in the selling of season tickets, however the reality is we are incapable of attracting world class players (have we even tried?) we seem incapable of keeping our own decent players, Him and and fat Alisher are quite simply here to get a foothold in the liverpool waterfront, in 2 weeks time as pre season approaches everything will be the same as suntan bob and little Leon pioneer a meaningless friendly in tanzania and some second rate Spanish striker decides to stay at Malaga.........pathetic

I will indulge you.

I will try and address each of your points.

With regards to the fabulous era, I will concede ive seen very little to suggest thats true, as for being further behind, well thats going to take time, the new stadium would help with that, in the long term, short term we need to grow the cashflow within the club, which we have already started doing.

I think the STs sales are partly down to a feel good factor around the club, very sensible pricing and yes, to a degree, partly down to some very good PR on behalf of Moshiri.

No, we arent able to attract world class players, we have no CL and we arent a United who is able to throw money at world class players without CL, plus in Uniteds case, we have never played in the CL proper and havent won a single pot for 20+ years, so no, we cant attract world class players.

As for him and Alis intentions, they are pretty clear, to make as much money as possible, theres 2 ways to do that, bleed the club feed it on scraps and let it die, bank the parachute payments and koff on a boat to the med or build the club a new stadium, invest in the club on and off the field, grow into a real force and sell it for a MASSIVE profit, so far the signs point towards the growing of the club.

As for pre-season, our first real game will be at the end of July, our first Premier League game will be in August, there is of course a desire to get the players in early, so ideally we should be doing a LOT of business this month, but its really not panic time as of yet, lets revisit some of these points in September, when maybe we will have a better idea of how pathetic the club is.
