What Moshiri has actually done wrong is be totally and utterly clueless about football and not getting rid of the parasites and bringing professional people in.

The club is still 100% run on sentiment and has absolutely no desire to compete for anything footballing wise. Maintaining PL status is the sole ambition of the club.

Appointing Benitez was such an incredibly bad decision for morale and the profile of the football club and that decision taken by him seems to have pushed the club into the abyss.

He is one of the parasites though, the worse most damaging person to ever be connected to Everton, zero good intentions, zero good work, only damage, long term damage

His role was quite simple really. Appoint good football people to run the club and provide the investment. Okay easier said than done but he’s made an unbelievable mess of things.
 

All I’ll say is be careful what you wish for if you are willing Moshiri to leave…we could end up with someone far worse or with no money like it used to be before him
Be careful what you wish for? Moshiri has spent a vast fortune, to turn us into a championship outfit! Money means nothing sadly, if you aren't going to spend it wisely.

Be carful what you wish for? I do agree but did you tell those who wanted Kenwright to sell to be carful what you wish for? I doubt it.
Impossible to be worse then Moshiri
 
From the FT.....


Everton Football Club is in talks to secure new financing after suspending sponsorships with companies connected to sanctioned Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The move comes as Everton and Farhad Moshiri, the Premier League club’s British-Iranian majority shareholder, wrestle with poor performance on the pitch and the impact of sanctions on its business.

Options being explored by the Liverpool club include raising equity, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions. Another person said Everton has held talks on raising debt.

But two people close to Moshiri and the club said the only funding being sought was for Everton’s new £500mn waterfront stadium, talks over which precede the unwinding of links to Usmanov. A separate person with knowledge of the stadium confirmed the club was also exploring funding for the project.

Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine has exposed the reliance of Everton and London rival Chelsea, which is owned by Russian-Israeli billionaire Roman Abramovich, on wealthy Russians accused of being close to the Kremlin and now subject to sanctions. It has also raised deeper questions about the ownership of Premier League clubs.

Everton has cut ties to USM Holdings and other companies connected to or owned by Usmanov, an Uzbekistan-born Russian billionaire who has been sanctioned by the EU, UK and US. Moshiri is no longer named on USM’s website, having previously been identified as chair and a shareholder.

As well as multimillion-pound sponsorships, USM in 2020 acquired an option for the naming rights to Everton’s planned Bramley-Moore Dock stadium, in a deal worth £30mn to the club.

Moshiri, who owns more than 94 per cent of the Premier League side’s equity, took a majority stake in Everton in 2018, having first invested in the club two years earlier. He previously invested in London rival Arsenal alongside Usmanov. Stan Kroenke, the US sports mogul, now owns Arsenal.

In the 2019-20 season, Moshiri injected nearly £50mn of interest-free loans into Everton, according to its accounts, taking the outstanding total to £348mn at the end of that period. In January this year, Moshiri converted a £100mn loan to the club into equity.

The club recorded £250mn of net losses across the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons.

Everton’s latest annual accounts are due to be published by the end of the month and cover the period during which clubs were forced to hold matches in empty stadiums because of the pandemic, in effect wiping out ticket revenue.

The club is facing a further potential hit to its finances from relegation. Everton sits in 17th place out of 20 clubs in the league table, putting the team at risk of being demoted to the Championship, the second-tier of English football.

Four people with knowledge of the financing discussions warned that relegation was a major concern for potential investors, given the club would no longer share in the more than £10bn of broadcast revenue generated by the Premier League.

One senior executive at a top-flight rival said Everton’s current leadership would “struggle” to convince investors that they are “the right people” to lead the club.

Absolute hogwash of an article that.

You’re a clown. Honest to god, what has Bill got on you?

How can he be the worst, go and look at BMD whatever happens if that gets built, which it will at least he will have a link with the club forever. Even if he’s failed on the pitch. What’s Bill’s legacy?

We all know Moshiri has made huge mistakes, poor decisions, listening to agents. But his biggest mistake was keeping Bill on.

The thing is Moshiri has spent a lot of his own money, what did Bill spend in nearly 20yrs.
If if was down to bill we’d now be in the tescodome.

Moshiri still has enough money to turn this around. Let’s hope he’s starting to listen to the right people.

The only positive getting relegated would bring and it’s a tiny positive. Is that would be the end of Bill and his cronies
