Farhad Moshiri

I love the way they only mention Moshiri for us, but mention every single person who owns shares for them, I mean, sure, lets just totally ignore Grantchesters billions, cos AGENDA.

This stood out to me big time when hearing from the RS. 49.9 is not 100.

I don't think we're exactly minted on a relative scale, but god I hope we see top 4 spots in short order.

It's ok folks, someone on RAWK has said exactly what's going to happen under Moshiri and what his intentions are..

"Their giddiness and delusion over this investment is hilarious but understandable. They've essentially gone from shopping in Aldi to shopping in ASDA. Moshiri on his own isn't going to pump a great deal of money into the club. He's been described as a glorified accountant and that has a ring of truth to it but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Everton need someone like him with some nous with money to get them on their feet and to head in the right direction. It won't be easy - they are a small club with a small fanbase with limited commercial appeal and a stadium that is dilapidated and barely fit for purpose. They are the facts, that is not me speaking to belittle them or to claim our superiority. They were great in the 80's and once were a big club but times have changed and football has changed and they've regressed on and off the pitch.

They have delusions of grandeur about what this investment actually means. Moshiri is worth a touch over a billion. In this current climate that's pretty small fry though and they don't understand it. Any money that they spend this summer and beyond will probably not come from him. The TV money and any other commercial deals they get will fund their transfers, not Moshiri. There's always a possibility that he participates in some good PR work and directly funds a transfer early on or perhaps puts a couple of million extra in to fund one that won't get done otherwise. Yet the idea that a man worth just over £1bn is going to put tens of millions into buying new players is naive. He's a businessman, he's still worth a hell of a lot of money and he hasn't achieved that by throwing that money on things that don't have a high chance of working out.

He's investing at the right time, I'll give him that. In 5 years time providing they stay in the league and continue to float around mid-table or slightly better then he'll be able to sell for a nice profit. He won't have to do much as I said, he'll just balance the books, use the TV money to spend on players and get a couple of better sponsors. Everton fans don't realise that we aren't in the late 90's anymore. They will have to spend decent money to stay still. £20 million quid today is spent on a defensive midfielder... by Stoke. I don't know what they are expecting to happen. Their best signings this summer will be those who stay, not who comes in. Sure, they'll likely spend big for them but others teams will do the same and those other teams are already in a much better position than them (West Ham, Southampton, Stoke, Leicester, Spurs).

Usmanov is a pipe dream. He's just increased his stake in Arsenal. Why would he gamble on having to invest hundreds of millions in Everton due to a new stadium and players when he has a sure cash cow with Arsenal? Power, apparently. He wants glory. Well, maybe. But the idea that he's likely to get glory by investing in a club that's the second biggest in it's own small city rather than a club with a 60,000 seater stadium in the heart of one of the world's biggest cities is insane. If he was going to do it he would have done it. He has more money than he knows what to do with, there wouldn't need to be any staged investment or planning. He wouldn't need Moshiri to get the ball rolling. If Usmanov wanted Everton then Kenwright would have sold to him faster than you could say "Where's the Arteta money?"

So, on the whole, it's probably good news for them. However they won't really move forwards, they'll likely stay where they are. And they should be grateful of that because they've gone backwards for as long as I can remember"

Predictable RAWK delusional nonsense.
Instead of wasting his time worrying about us, why doesn't he have a look at the league table. Or tell me why the biggest and best club in the world have won one Mickey Mouse cup in ten years having watched a succession of third-rate managers spent hundreds of millions on nonentities
Or maybe there's something lost in translation (from Norwegian, obviously).

can't have this thread at the bottom of the page...

He wouldn't be at the game because the deal isn't rubber stamped.

I'd expect him at west Ham though

Can't wait for Bobby to welcome him with Howard back in goal and Kone on the left

Is this the same club who are even more mid table than us at the moment after spunking close to 3/4 of a BILLION pounds trying to win this league? Youve gotta luv em

 

[evertoniano]

Just a thought, could the Russian transfer his shares to his children, keeping them in the family as he has said?

This is exactly what I'd been thinking too.

 

[helpimonfire]

We should sign Stevie G just for the laugh and fume from the RS. Not play him like, just make him sweep up after games.

He can do so (transfer the shares) if he wishes but it leaves him in exactly the same position with regards to acquiring shares in any other Premier League club, i.e. he could not acquire shares in any other Premier League club.

Can we give Moshi the power to step in and override any managerial decisions like starting Howard and Kone etc. I trust him.

No need. Our new owner will either be the best or worst thing to happen to our Manager. No hiding now for hm.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

This guy works very closely to businessmen who run steal firms as well.

...scouse, that.

Aye, he will know soon enough how a Tempranillo grape feels. Will he turn into a fine Rioja or be simply crushed....
