Farhad Moshiri

[TheBigIguana]

He's quickly becoming a case study of what not to do when you buy a sports team. Christ he's clueless.

I have no source, I am not itk. I am saying it is clear because the current history of recruitment has no pattern. It's either Moshiri employing people he has heard of, has met or has been recommended by Usmanov or Joorabchian. If that isn't the case, and Brands has been in charge of scattergun managerial appointments, then he is an incompetent idiot. Either way it is bad news for Everton. What is indisputable is that we have spent hundreds of millions in fees (for players and to agents), increased our wage bill markedly and our sporting achievements have been weaker than under Kenwright where we played in Europe semi-regularly. We are a poorly run club and the buck for that stops with Moshiri and Brands, Benitez is just the latest symptom.

Mate looks like we agree again. This is a great post.

Correct. He's appointed every manager and you can tell which signings were on his say so too...

It is so annoying to see in articles about how he is the one leading the search and speaking to the managers.
The agents like Joorabchian that around him are bad news for our club, he got arsenal to sign Willian on a 3 year contract

Mosh is a good lad people need to lay off him abit. One good management appointment and we'll be smashing it.

Silva was already signed up when Brands arrived, so he has just been involved with one so far and that Ancelotti. Not a bad record if you ask me!

Obviously that will take a hit if we hire Benitez but all signs point to needs must rather than this is the bloke we want managing us for the next decade.

I won't diss Moshiri at all. Yes he has made some bad choices but we are still getting a new stadium, we still have money, we are more solvent with him. Just getting the right manager has been his negative but I don't want him to sell up unless it is to someone richer than him.

I think maybe alot of us just holding back on the criticism because of the stadium getting the green light money and so forth, but come on lad sort club out its a shambles flop after flop and now all this

I know media reports should be taken with a pinch of salt but so many of them suggest that Moshiri and Usmanov are meeting prospective managers in luxury hotels and on yachts and whatnot and that gives me pause. Combine that with genuinely attributable comments about things like wanting "Hollywood" managers by Moshiri and it makes me worry and also makes it likely that he has a big say in who that manager is. You're right though, Brands has only been involved in two manager recruitments now and I may have unfairly maligned him over Walsh/Moshiri appointments. I still don't see any real strategy though with who has been linked and who we have had in the past.

The feller's put the club's name in the gutter. Calling radio stations to talk to Jim White like we're Hartlepool or some such outfit; saying Lukaku's Ma was carrying out voodoo. He's a liability.

Usmanov wants to give this feller a helicopter ride over the Irish Sea and bring in someone else to front this club for him.

 

[billyblue80]

They know but they are appointing him anyway

The fake account and the real one have morphed.

He's completely clueless.

So when you say it’s clear … it’s something you’ve created based on your observations ….. we slam the press for that
In truth none of us really know what goes on in that boardroom ….. we don’t like it but in general it’s false news unless you actually know
The current history of recruitment is impacted by the rapid rotation of managers
But that would always be the case .DoF or not a new manager inbound will be given some sweetener in player selection …. Counter thus with our DoF quite rightly clearing the squad and you are bound to get turmoil and I am not convinced it has anything to do with Moshiri meddling … and of course I accept I could be wrong … because he may well be… ! I’m just not sure so I won’t claim it’s clearly the case

If Farhad is a dictator, why it drags too long for two weeks, talk after talk, meeting after meeting.
Marcel might not want Rafael but maybe Rafael agrees to build a team the way he wants.
And Bill...

I will only slag him off when the stadium is built, until then he is our saviour.
