Farhad Moshiri

Bottom line is that as long as Everton gain a stadium that is capable of generating significant non match day revenue, (which will be needed to offset the imminent collapse in t.v. Payments ) , and build up a squad able to compete at the highest level, that will be considered a success, regardless of the strategy used to get us there. It is far too early to cast any definitive judgement at present or in the immediate future. However we can form a qualified opinion , and my opinion is that things are currently progressing satisfactorily.

No use building a stadium and bankrupting yourself, though.

Moshiri should be looking to bring investors onto the board with a massive rights issue. We do it the stated way it'll be done we are at the mercy of external players for two generations.

Absolute rubbish. The objective of every transfer window is to finish the window in a better position R.E. playing staff when it closes in order to improve our team. How much we spend doing that is irrelevant. To give you an example we could sell Rom for 70 million and then spend 150 mill on two monumental flops and by your reckoning that would be a success. Whereas we could sell rom for 100 mill and discover the next messi for 10 mill and by your reckoning that would be a failure. The window has to be judged on the quality of the players brought in not the money spent surely ?

The relationship between spending in this league and success is unarguable.

You have to spend massively to get quality in sufficient numbers to change matters.

Your gonna have to explain this to me Dave.

Can't really argue with that considering the excuse used when one of the money teams beat us is how much they spend.

The funders will be from outside the club and demanding their payment for 40 years.

We need a Spurs type model of payment with banks, yes, but also share issues and naming rights.

Some on here are preparing to defend with a dented shield Moshiri's right to be thought of as still 'the answer' if we have a low net spend.

No chance. He needs to prove himself this summer.

Man city have spend 565 million in the last 3 or 4 seasons and won it once in the last 5 and finished 2nd twice in that time and 3rd once. Not great returns for that amount spent. Going beyond the league they have yet to win a continental trophy yet.

Leicester city spent 50 something mill in the year leading up to the league winning campaign.

So although yes part of what you say is true it its arguable. Sorry just because you say it is doesn't make it so.

Totally agree. No excuses for Koeman either if he's given a fair wedge to spend.

There will always be some exceptions but the amount clubs spend on transfers and wages will have a direct correlation to league positions over an extended period of time.

 

[The Rhino]

Are people seriously trying to suggest spending money doesn't massively increase your chances of success?

If that's the case why do our fans cream themselves over the possibility of Usmanov buying us then?

It's not the be all and end all but spending big money gives you a hell of a better chance of winning titles and trophies.

I agree. I was making the point that he said it was "unarguable". When it certainly can be argued. Like you said exceptions well isn't that an argument that their are exceptions?
