It is Moshiri’s fault that we’re still lagging behind commercially. What efforts has he made to improve this? Why hasn’t he revamped a failed board, either?

We’re as stagnant now as we have been for years.

We’ll spin the stadium line, but deep down we all know they’re going to leave us disappointed on that as well.
Well instead of Chang have USM as sponsors
 
Such is life. If Barca or Real want any of our neighbours players do you think they would be in a position to stop it? Going to take a lot longer to build rep and win trophies before we are able to do that. He isn't a fairy godmother to be able to rock up and change 20 years of bad management within a few years.

There is lots to be annoyed at but Moshiri so far has kept his end of the deal. If we lose a Digne say, let's hope the structure is there to get a decent replacement and pocket a massive amount of cash. Keep that cycle going hopefully getting a little bit better every time until we are seen as a place where top level footballers want to be.
Fair assessment
 

Gwladys Blue is absolutely correct to question Moshiri.

The progress we have seen has been minimal.

Worries me like mad that people are just not seeing it. Many years of being let down most blues have pinned all hope on Moshiri. Understandable but its going to end in tears.

Really?

Off the pitch, we are miles ahead of where we were before he came in. New headquarters, a realistic chance of building an iconic stadium in the city centre, providing money every transfer window, a proper management structure that already looks to be working.

By all means, keep challenging those in charge but don't claim he hasn't done much just because we aren't top of the league.

I agree with most of your post but the new headquarters is something we didn't really need and it doesn't belong to the club anyway .

A new headquarters ? Why is that important ? Im sure the headquarters we had were fine, we didn't need to move but seems like we did as a bit of a vanity project for Farhad.

The stadium is still as much pie in the sky as previous "stadia" weve spoken about getting under previous ownership. Until we see something concrete there you cant claim it as progress, we haven't even secured funding for it yet!

Hes providing money - Yes i cant refute that as much as i once did however not for the kind of big signings a club challenging for the Champions League should be making.

Infact id say we are now making the sort of signings and spending the sort of money you would expect for a club of our stature and standing - and position in the league. But not above that. Well done Moshiri but i think thats more of a sign of how badly run Everton has been in the past.

The management structure appears to be working for now. The last 2 he implemented didn't though. Time will tell there.

Finally one thing i will give Moshiri is he is capitalising more on revenue streams. Getting money to rename the training ground is something thats clearly come from him - even if the money has come from his long term business associate rather than via clever negotiation.

Im sure there is more to come from that sort of thing.

The hq move is as much about branding as the sponsorship of our training ground. Moving to the most iconic of building in the city, overlooking our proposed site for a stadium sure sends the right messages.

The stadium is progressing as well as it could. We have the land we have the timelines and we have a funding proposal on the table from the council (that we're not taking, which suggests other options are available). All stadium moves are pie in the sky until you move in. Look at spurs.
