Farhad Moshiri

[degsy]

This x1000. High level billionaire businessmen don't run for the hills because some of their customers don't like them very much. They sell only when it's in their interests or desire to do so. A few bedsheets and banners isn't going to change that.

According to the theory; For a Seller there's always supposed to be - another 'Greater Fool' as a buyer

In finance, the greater fool theory suggests that one can sometimes make money through the purchase of overvalued assets — items with a purchase price drastically exceeding the intrinsic value — if those assets can later be resold at an even higher price.

In this context, one "fool" might pay for an overpriced asset, hoping that he can sell it to an even "greater fool" and make a profit. This only works as long as there are enough new "greater fools" willing to pay higher and higher prices for the asset. Eventually, investors can no longer deny that the price is out of touch with reality, at which point a sell-off can cause the price to drop significantly until it is closer to its fair value, which in some cases could be zero.

There is often an exception that proves the rule...we seem to have a shortage of "greater fools" right now

Edit; Not at Le Ev obvs, outside ones with more dosh than sense

That's completely erroneous there were numerous interested parties very affluent consortiums from the middle east , but kenwright turned them down because he was s narcissistic parasite who was incapable of relinquishing his presence in the club because he percieved himself to be some kind of Everton folk hero

Curtis I have repeatedly pointed the finger at BK as being the problem far more than Moshiri although he has blundered numerous times., but so have our managers. I see Brands has come out and criticised Moshiri, rightly so.

I take your word for it that there were middle east parties interested in buying us but hold my hand up, I was unaware of them.

 

[Toffeelover]

You do realise that City’s owners were actively looking at purchasing Everton before them.

News to me Chris, thank you. Suppose BK was the stumbling block.

 

[Curtis]

Hahahaha let this moment of business savvy enlighten you on the crafty enterprising nature of Moshiri. definitely debunks assertions he was inept.......its been like six years and he just happens to realize this haha

Heard that rumour many, many times. I don't recall an ounce of evidence to support it; just like they were "apparently" looking at Newcastle and Spurs and half a dozen other teams - hell why wouldn't you look around and assess your options with that level of wealth behind you?!

Who knows what is actually true, but 15+ years ago, City did just have their new stadium built which surely would have been a major factor in the thinking from a commercial point of view; no need to pony up £500m for a new ground like Farhad has too.

Ultimately: City won the ownership lottery and we got the Iranian Mr Bean. One team bought 837617 trophies, one slumped to almost relegation. It's no more complicated than that.

Picking out his height as a criticism absolutely sums you up to a tea.

James Dyson would be the ideal billionaire to fill the vacuum left by uncle Uzzy.

I'd rather he was placed in charge of selling our unwanted players.

He's done rather well out of selling well marketed overpriced products that are Infact no better than the competitors.

I do quite a bit if work with the Abu Dhabi ruling family office.

About a year or two after the city takeover we were having lunch (one of Mansours brothers, Sultan, was present) and I casually threw in a "Why Manchester City?"

"We spoke to Everton first but received no encouragement to proceed."

Thats the exact quote. Word for word. As clear as I heard it yesterday.

They had NO IDEA who I supported so it wouldn't have been a wind up.

Believe it of not, I know what I heard.

My only issue with this quote is that Moshiri has landed by private jet at XLR, so it's not as if he'll have been walking through a LFC laden terminal.

Oh F F F F.

Had to be down to BK.

And he didn't attend any meeting in person, it was done via Zoom

Can't just be taking any gossip as gospel these days. Critical thinking also helps stills

 

[Toffeelover]

If not for BK we could have been at Kings Dock decades ago.
