Probably not staring down the barrel of relegation and punishments for financial irregularities. Moshiri’s “investment” has done nothing but send us backwards, it’s not like we would be in the Championship if we hadn’t spent £27m on Cenk Tosun.

Thanks to BFS not Moshiri.
 
Hard to say. What we can argue it that we have regressed year on year under moshiri and are probably measurably worse in every metric than we were before he came in:

Squad value - worse
League position - worse
Average age of squad - worse
Financial status - worse
Youth setup - worse
You could probably argue the toss on those 2.

Average age has certainly reduced from 2014/15 when it was 4th oldest at 27.7. It's now 10th at 26.5.

Squad value has risen considerably since Moshiri took over. It was valued around 150m in 2015, it's now valued at 350m.

The rest is accurate.
 

I genuinely believe his heart was in the right place and he wanted to do the right thing and be successful on the pitch but him and his board aren't up for the job.
You guess all ye want about the 'yanks' or any other potential new owner being 'this' or 'that' but its guess work if they will be successful or not, but with Moshiri and Co we have facts that they are useless.

So its :bye:from me

Isnt the squad value based off wages and contract length, rather than an estimated resale value?

I'll rephrase it as "we have fewer sellable assets". With the exception of richarlison and Calvert lewin, I don't think we'd make a profit on any other player. We haven't made a profit on a player sale since gueye was sold.

I'm not sure I agree. I don't think we had many "sellable assets" when he took us over either.

Stones, Barkley, lukaku were the big money assets. Whereas now we have pickford, richie and DCL.

Also coleman, mori, deulefeo, maybe mirallas. But not for big fees. And we have players now who would attract similar sorts of fees as them. Godfrey, doucoure, Holgate, mina, Gray etc.

The glaring issue then and now, is the youth players arent good enough. We had barkley then but he looks.like he was at his peak, and we made book profit on him (despite him screwing us over), whereas now we have Gordon who is still improving. The rest, then and now, aren't good enough though.

Only need to make decent profit on one and the situation changes. Its the reinvestment that is then crap. Its the reinvestment by 5 crap managers and 2 crap DOFs that have wrecked the squad. But they were all appointed by Mosh so that's ultimately on him.
 

Actually no, Moshiri personally scouted him after watching a Besiktas game on telly in the Champions League and was a known fan.
“Now we are comfortable with Cenk Tosun as a focal point, we have Bolasie back, Sigurdsson, Rooney - we have our own Fab Four!”

“We are optimistic. It’s a big second half to the season for us. With the players coming back and Cenk Tosun, who is a very, very good striker.

“I saw him first in Monaco because I live there and I watched him when Monaco played Besiktas. He single-handedly destroyed them, although it could be a flash!

“No, he looked very good. I followed him and the coaching staff liked him. There are not a lot of strikers around, so hopefully we’ve hit it right.”

Christ.
 
Competitively, he's sent us backwards.

Early on in this season I shared my view that if he/this Everton board replicate the last 3-5 years, then he'd send us down. I never saw it coming this season, but the fact he very nearly managed it.... if we lost that Chelsea game and Burnley beat Watford the same weekend we'd have been toast IMO.

I was happy to see him stay, hopeful this season was the wake up call for him but now he's trying to sell - we need shut. We can't have an owner working up his exit/having us in limbo for too long.

It’s only “valued” at that because we’ve spent absurd fees on absolute crap. That is not the true value of our squad and we all know it. No one would touch any of our players bar about 3.
