If we sell any 2 of those 3, we are in big trouble.

We will not replace them with anywhere near the quality they have, unless your view is to sell them and replace them with multiple average signings in different positions to fill out the threadbare squad?

That'd be a disaster for me and would ensure we are basically back to 90s Everton, where mid-table/survival is seen as a success.

Moshiri appointed these people so he is responsible.

West Ham have hardly spent enormous amounts either. Almost every team who have moved to a new ground have regressed after it. There is no evidence a new stadiums moves us forward. The precedent from other clubs is that it actually makes you less competitive.

I would happily stay at Goodison and focus only on football.

To an extent but then every CEO at your big corporations like Tesco, Walmart, Apple etc would be booted whenever an employee was upto no good / failed at his job.

Walsh and Brands were backed with a lot of money and they spaffed it up the wall. They are grown men and need to be held accountable rather than blaming daddy Mosh for their mistakes.

It’s almost as if those 2 didn’t come in with decent reputations before joining - but suddenly both are frauds when things don’t work out?

They have been held accountable. Walsh was sacked and Brands was either sacked or walked.

But if you want to own a business, then appointing the right people is a key part of it. Moshiri clearly is totally clueless about football. No sensible football person, or Evertonian, would ever appoint Benitez.

For a single instance, you are correct. But if every member of staff was failing and continued to do so for 6 years, and despite going through 6 different "re-structures", it's safe to assume they'd be at least questioning the CEO's competency, if not booting them into touch.
 
Convinced he hates the club and the fans now.

Let’s look at the catalogue of evidence:

Financial ‘taps’ turned off under the cover of spurious FFP claims.

Continued retention of the waiter to spite the fans and the club

Communication via text message to journalists rather than official channels.

Refusal to attend any more games to show that he is answerable to no one

Apparently no one at the club dares to question him for fear of the stadium being scuppered.

I think its fair to question him at this point - but demanding him leave/sell up is completely reactionary.

In the history books he'll have done more good than bad at Everton in the grand scheme of things. If we were to ever fluke a trophy he would likely even be seen as our best ever custodian when you throw in the new stadium and the money spent.

Yeah, Digne has been fantastic for 2 seasons and Richarlison is a goal machine this season.

How could we cope?

I'm not so sure. A new stadium will mean nothing if we are relegated. He could just as easily go down in history as the worst Everton owner of all time. At the moment, that feels more likely than your scenario.

Not the most far fetched summation of events
 
This feller is not for turning this time.

The derby defeat aftermath was THE moment he could have buckled.

Another win in the next 3 games and we are still very comfortable in the table and within reach of the top half with a window to come and DCL back.

When you leave the forum chatter aside, that's what the owner sees. And that's why there's no MSM clamour for Benitez's head as there was before the derby.

We're never getting relegated its absolute nonsense Goodison has the atmosphere to always drag us out the mire when needed we seen it again at Arsenal - clubs like Norwich simply dont have that.

Imagine if we had social media around the time of Kendall's first stint - @Kev The Rat et al would have seen to it that he was booted and we miss out on the 80's glory days.

Thats the problem with modern day football the likes of Kendall/Alex Ferguson would never have been given time to do what they did.

Something for a lot of the NsNo lads on here to ponder.
