Farhad Moshiri

But that wasn't because he's skint!

That was to satisfy rules he (foolishly) allowed the club to break by backing multiple managers with their own signings, showing a bit of ambition.... Something Kenwright has never managed himself.

But it was because he backed managers, he was constantly sacking them, not finding a suitable replacement and having to throw money at them, under the influence of Kia, he wasn't showing Ambition and if he was he failed in a spectacular way.
Saying Kenwright never showed Ambition is bizare, we got into more cup finals and European places on his watch more then we ever would under Moshiri. We we bought players like Lukaku too

Wonder if he (Kenwright) shows his face this weekend? I missed his lumbering hulk v UTD.

Hopefully yes.

Had Moshiri not bought in I have no doubt at all we'd have been in administration by now, probably a league lower. Maybe even 2. We'd also be in an utterly decrepit stadium with no sign of any improvements being made.

But you can't base that on anything, administration? Moshiri bought in just as the big TV monet arrived, administration would of been impossible.

probably in a lower league? Did you actually pay amy attention to last season? Please tell me you noticed what actually happened to us ?

All speculation of course, but we were only going one way under Bills ownership. (clue.... It wasn't up)

but we were stable, not on a rapid decline like Moshiri inflicted

Mate, seriously, you got so much wrong there.

I really didn't.

I would counter the points you made, but it would be as rewarding as explaining chess to a 1 year old.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Moshiri has been catastrophic for the club. Allowing people like Bill Kenwright to stick around and have influence has been a key reason for that. The end.

 

[summerisle]

He can own 100% of Everton AND Nice. The crunch comes if we ever met in the same completion, he'd have to reduce ownership in one. (though knowing how murky football is I imagine 'trying to sell' would be good enough)

Uefa's integrity rules permit one person to have a 100% shareholding in one club and a “non-decisive influence” shareholding in another club competing in the same competition.

We need a cunning plan.

What influence has he had?

If you had said allowing people like Kia Joorabchian to have influence you might of made a worthwhile post

No don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Joorabchian here...... But how many transfers has he imposed on Everton over the past 6 years?

I reckon it's one.

You go on as if he's our defacto DoF.

Show your workings out, please.

But how many has Kenwright imposed on us? Just one from Kia is one too many.
Have you even thought about how much we have spent and we're it's gone, look at our squad and I can't see it.
There's a reason why Moshiri landed us with FFP restrictions, and if you think its purely a football one your kidding yourself

Both Moshiri and Kenwright are to blame for our predicament.

Moshiri carries the larger share, given he is the owner, it's his train set.

Kenwright must shoulder responsibility for the decline and stagnation prior to that.

If it was his intention to act to rein in Moshiri's excesses, then he also failed quite spectacularly in that role.

If his counsel was being ignored, then he should have resigned.

There is a lot of blame to go around, as there has been a lot of failure. Both of them are culpable.

 

[4737carlin]

Maybe yeah but just be glad he didnt, dread to think who Moshiri would of appointed to replace him

 

[MikeH72]

Another false flag regarding a takeover was it? Better get your intern to draft another template email to the fans telling us how committed you are Mr M.

This is Spot on really!

Both, as you say are to blame to varying degrees.

I don't think Moshiri had any credible plan in place once he bought in.

He knew at an overall level what he wanted but had no understanding of how to get there and relied on a combination of his own opinions and bad advice.

The writing was on the wall from the off. No credible investor would have bought a majority share and not filled the board and CEO positions with their own appointees.

It's probably correct to say that those appointments may well have been equally as disastrous or worse if he had made them.

Kenwrights chairmanship is undoubtedly one that has veered from managed stagnation and decline to near catastrophe though, so when the history of the period is written, he will be judged accordingly.

Gone at false flag but, really, people need to learn that if a takeover group goes public so early into the process - like the Kenyon group - it probably ain't happening

More times than not, these people just want media attention and aren't serious

 

[kenada_blue]

I'm an ex-auditor in one of the big 4 for about 6-7 years. Let me give me 2 cents.

To be fair, there are always rumours of client wanting to change auditors AND/OR rumours the Partners want to resign a client. It doesn't make the news often though lol

Should Evertonians be worried?

If the audit has started and BDO decides to walk away - Yes. but I can't comment on their audit timeline.
If BDO and Everton both decide not to continue the relationship before the audit commence - No. (this could just means fees negotiation breakdown)
If audit commenced, Everton looking for new auditors to sign 2023 - No

So kopite media clutching at straws trying to make a story they've no real idea about? Read that way too

Agree on this, its like a rich person buying something because he can afford it. I heard a story once of a top wine dealer who had one of the most expensive bottles of wine for sale in the coutry, Wayne Rooney tried too buy it and the dealer was having none of it because he knew Rooney wouldnt really truly appriciate it. Thats Farhad and Everton, he could afford it, but had no real idea about it, doesnt appriciate what he has and had no plan what to do with it from day one, an expensive vanity project.
