How can you say he's a figurehead chairman mate when he brought Rooney back, gave Brands a contract extension and no doubt got DBB the CEO role and Sharp on the board? lol

Well ran?

Their about to sign a 28 soon to be 29 year old declining player on a 4 and a half year deal on £160kpw.They'll be trying to get rid of him in 18-24 months.

Then They'll probably sign Coutinho on a stupid wedge as well as the fact they've signed 29 year old cheese string knees Danny Ings on £120kpw.

Can you please explain to me where this notion that villa are this well run club?

Because it looks to me like they are doing exactly what we did 5 years ago.

In fact I'd argue that if the rolls were reserved and we were buying villas 28 year old LB and villa had reportedly used that money to buy two highly rated fullbacks to improve their team we'd be pulling our hair out and saying "why aren't we doing that instead of buying someone's crap".

Slippy going for short term ' success probably sees his dream job becoming vacant in18mths

Well there is that...but you have to give him credit in the 'having your cake and eating it stakes'?

Isn't that just because we've got an owner who doesn't care? To moshiri, Everton is an investment being driven by the new stadium, not by on-pitch performance.

If Moshiri was solely focused on investment he wouldn't have spent £450 million on players.

He could easily do a Mike Ashley and invest the bare minimum if he wanted yet he tries his best hence why I think the criticism is very harsh overall.

Plenty of worse owners out there who our fans would be cry arsing about if he sold us to someone who didnt put their hand in their pocket and accepted their lot in midtable.

He hasn't. If I'm correct, moshiri paid off a 250m loan (or was it debt?) and hasn't set repayment criteria. Other than that, he hasn't personally funded transfers and isn't personally funding the stadium.

I think he's fed up with us now.

He talked about a window of opportunity to catch the top 6 when he arrived, he spent big chasing that and it failed. He needs to deliver the stadium for long term sustainability of the club and to keep his investment interests. Aside from loaning us money, has he actually used his own money as part of our spending?

Too much recently of him effectively telling the fans to put up or stay away..

His problem is listening to the fans to much, when things got ropey with manger he listened to the fans and got rid. If you remember across the park people were calling for klopps head at first

They haven't signed him yet, but if they do he fits their system perfectly and won't be exposed every game.

Villa have a good blend of youth and experience, with pace all over and everyone working in partnerships.

Add a few touches of quality and that could take them forward at our expense.

Whats this perfect system they play?

Villa are such a well run club with such a fantastic blend of youth and experience with pace and partnerships all over the pitch, yet they are 3 points above us having played one more game then us while we're in our worst run of form ever. They were a one player team and they've sold that player and not reinvested the money very wisely by the looks of it.
Let's see where everyone is at the end of the season before we wet our pants.

I’m not sure that @PhilRegan is saying they play a perfect system? I think what he means is that Digne fits the system that Gerrard wants them to play. A bit like when Digne joined Everton he fitted the system we played at the time, sadly he doesn’t fit the system the bloke currently sat in the managers office at Finch Farm wants us to play now (unfortunately!)!

Anyway back to Moshiri - if only he had the perfect system we wouldn’t be in the mess we are at the moment!

I don’t think billionaires get fed up like that, they learn and make it work. That’s how they become billionaires

Way I see it is unless you're owned by a Middle Eastern State you can forget challenging for the title or even CL regularly unless you're one of the already established elite clubs like Utd, RS, Arsenal, Chelsea, City etc

Leicester are the exception in recent years but all it takes is a Vardy leaving and a bad summer of recruitment to set a club like them back from fighting for 4th/5th to 9th/10th.

I would love nothing more than a good cup run or top 6 finish as the fella deserves it based on his financial commitment so far.

Moshiri didn't become a billionaire through usual means. he isn't a businessman or entrepreneur.

We went from ‘we’ll go with what we’ve got’ every window to splashing big money, and the chairman still gets more stick than Bill ever did.
There is no clarity at every level of the club, what does Bill do, what did Marcel do, what decisions does Moshiri actually make.
You can still see Bill’s influence from DBB, Sharp all the ex players who come back as coaches.
