Farhad Moshiri

[bcblue1878]

Just hope he doesn't go rogue and lash £97m at Zaha.

There’s at least one on here who has been pushing for that for the last eight transfer windows ???!

Did kenwright and the board run up debts what had to be paid by the sales of Rooney and Arteta yes or no ? Simple question

Not really because we were in a mess when he bought us to save us, which he did, Philip Carter was chairmen back then anyway, Moshiri has taken us back to those dark days with the added humiliation of fighting relegation

How much debt did Johnson leave behind?

 

[Carlito]

Sticking to facts doesn't make you look a tit, blaming failings of the owner on the previous owner does

Just wanted to put these two side by side, as I'd hate for good comedy to go unnoticed.

Myth.

When he bought Everton we had zero debt.

We owned Goodison, our training ground and some other properties.

We sold our training ground, built a new one, sold that, rented it back, took a secured loan out on the park end, borrowed against future season ticket revenue and sold a generational talent for absolute buttons.

All the while running up debt as the game was getting flooded with cash.

Yeah, he saved us.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

So your saying Peter Johnson did a good job? If we were in such a good place why didnt anyone else want us?

That wasn't the argument you made.

I'm saying Kenwright has done far greater damage to Everton than Johnson managed.

He said judge us at the end of the window. You have to say so far hes true to his word in doing bits in this window.

It's a silly throwaway remark that though. The only reason we go into every season on the back foot is because of years of a lack of strategy that leave us frantically trying to plug holes in the squad after the season is underway. We are going to be judged every week on the pitch by how we perform, regardless of what we do in the market by end of the month.

I'll give him credit if and when we finally get to the point where the squad has balance across the pitch, with no glaring weaknesses (like we have now at centre forward), and is ready to hit the ground running at the start of the season.

Its completely down to him then and not the people he entrusted?

Mate the debt sky rocketed under kenwright you know it and I know it no point in going over what got sold sourced or leased out to pay that fat [Poor language removed] mishandling of the club because it’s been done to death. I fear you are unsavable

 

[Goat]

Leave it Mick.

It's down to the club collectively but he is the boss and chooses who to hire, so yes he has to take some of the responsibility.

Everyone thought this in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

and with 20:20 hindsight are able to use it as a stick to beat him with. If anything Moshiri is too trusting - no-one can doubt he has put serious money into the club, to be let down by almost all in senior positions and often himself by trusting agents. He has wasted a lot of money trusting folk.

Incidentally, he did not start the war in Ukraine that led to his friend business colleague (source of cash) being sanctioned.
