Farhad Moshiri

Very much in the minority here, but I have a healthy degree of scepticism about this. Here goes:
Why buy 49.9% of the shares?
Who has sold up and who are the remaining shareholders - surely this could potentially hinder achieving 75% ownership (or a full takeover) in the future. Do the maths, for a full takeover by scheme of arrangement Moshiri now has to get 37.6% of shareholders to agree. This is more difficult than the additional 7% required if done presently.
The promised investment - at what raye of interest?

*Looks forward to ostracism and loneliness

Please provide your working out for that one mate.
How could losing half the value of the Club and the majority of our senior players be a positive?

Which other Clubs can you think of that have been improved by getting relegated?

We'll be able to get a new manager in, get rid of the deadwood in the squad and replace them with young players hungry for success. We'd come back stronger.

The fume will be glorious when Yarmalenko snubs us for Stoke in the summer.....

Pipe down, this is one of the most exciting days we've had in years

Can't you spend your time Photoshopping Ronaldo in an Everton jersey or making a list of boss transfer targets rather than whinging?

A block of shares has changed hands. Hopefully it means investemnt in the squad and a stadium deal. Let's see what this feller has to say for himself in full. If he now clams up, fails to address the supporters with a major series of interviews and makes himself scarce, it's not going to be a major development - just him parking his cash elsewhere.

I do hope this is a blow to the rs

They will be gutted if it meant us having a sniff of any kind of sustained success mate. The thing is we don't need millions upon millions to waste. Get good staff involved in the commercial side of things, sort the stadium out, a couple of quality additions here and there, keep the academy ticking over and we will be sound as a pound.

Simmer down Eric, you're making yourself look a bit silly.

.....and we didn't even have a game. Priceless.

Ha yeah. And no "Im made up about the investment and that like...but Barkley didnt do anywhere near enough for me today"

 

[Connor]

I just want Elstone gone now.

£175M figure? That's a valuation of the whole club and BK has walked off with circa £45M for his 25%?

He stuck in about £8M initially, I think.

Here's a thought Dave, maybe BK will invest some of that £45m back into the club.

You seen how many once top names in the top flight are stuck in the lower leagues and doomed?

 

[tadpole]

Can we afford new ball boys now ?

 

[flibbyflob]

Christ...some fans are still picking out the negatives in this, just be happy for once FFS

Least it proves money hasn't changed us lol

 

[eternal_defiance]

'Superagents' already around some of our players, Yarmolenko can be afforded and is only 24/25 (Maradona Napoli situation.. ? ) let us all get excited for the coming years. Suddenly the news stories are going to be about new contracts, new signings, new initiatives and everything will push on. Youngsters getting into the team will be even more hungry now this is just the start!

 

[Woolly Blue]

Hope we get relegated because of him and Bill laughs at us.

A relegation might be good for the club in the long term.

WUM
