Farhad Moshiri

[Dixieslaces]

Thought it was Bill and DBB last week !?!

Its a combination but as the dear overlord of all he rules, its on him overall.

He needs to deal with the board also.

They are not mutually exclusive.

Had a point like, fans pressured the club for lampard.

Nah, the fans had a choice between 2 people, a mostly unknown fella who was trying to promote himself on SSN or Lampard so it was pretty obvious who they were going to get behind. We had no say with any of the managers and a few of them he ignored the fans completely and also left them in place far too long which increased the damage. Doing the same again now except this time blaming the fans for everything. It is absolutely disgraceful.

If Moshiri was to walk away and take his funding we would be royally screwed.

We would probably go into administration in pretty sure of that and were Liverpool were bought out last minute and everything became rosy, that wouldn't be us in afraid.

Before Moshiri rocked up, the last time Everton had been in serious danger of relegation was in like 2003. This is now the second year in a row whereby we'll likely be involved in a relegation scrap until the end of the season, and unlike last season we're probably now considered to be one of the favourites to go. That's not to mention that we have also had to fire two different managers (Koeman and Silva) early on in seasons to avoid being dragged into relegation dogfights.

Nobody is saying we as a club are above relegation (even though this club has only spent something like 4 years in its entire history outside of the top flight). It is unarguable that our plight has been accelerated by Moshiri, how you or anyone else can defend him is baffling.

Im playing devils advocate, and adding that new gorund in the mix, its a massive massive part of our future.....and we need to not cut our nose of spite our face.

Thats all im saying.

Its very early after his interview, so people are very angry.

All im saying is, we need to tread a little carefull while that stadius is sat half built, thats it.

“Some of the decisions that have been taken have been driven by the fans. You have to stay with a manager to get the systems going.”

Spray paint for Lampard hire - Shows how much of a mess the board and Moshiri are that it influenced this decision

Marco Silva is the only manager I can think of that was sacked too hastily.

Says the guy who hasn't backed him in this window.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

The fans have driven the sackings?

Except any actual protests have always been against the board. Why aren’t they being sacked then?

Not so much toffee tower but Ivory tower, no surprise those close to the money and levers of power it extends are protected somewhat. Everton more or less mirrors my work life in the NHS and more recently Local authority, steady stream of line managers come and go while those in senior roles continue to reduce services then ask for more from you and offer nothing in return.

Beginning to think he shouldn't have even started building it until the club on the pitch was stable.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

He’s very very odd. But he genuinely hasn’t sacked a manager we wanted to keep (apart from some peoples obsession with Boberto). In fact he probably sacked a few 2 games too late. It’s not a false comment.

But he’s a maniac for actually saying that in public and inferring we are as at fault has him/Board, and thinking that’s exactly the communication these lovely folk have been asking me for.

 

[MikeH72]

It would be a major improvement at least, but I'm thinking he's left it far too late for that.

Yeah, you could possibly say that.

 

[nsno_traditionally]

Blaming the fans?

It's a bold strategy Farhad, let's see if it pays off.

 

[Davideeyore]

"They've been there for a long time".

Perhaps we need to remind Moshiri what's happened in the football world where Everton is concerned, in the last 7 years? Last 20 years? Last 30 years?

Self reflection.

 

[GoldenToffee]

He ain't selling, Kenwrong ain't being removed from the board, and Lampard ain't getting fired.

 

[Pabbers]

Thats is good point, and its defo food for thought.

The ground really makes this whole situation very difficult and much more complicated than just forcing him out.

If Moshiri was to walk away and take his funding we would be royally screwed.

Yes, because he's turned us into a dependent. He bought players and gave them contracts that at one point took us to over 90% wages to turnover. He started a stadium project with unsecured funding. He has not put any football or administrative structures in place that would assist the club on or off the field, meaning that our performance and governance have declined to startling levels.

We're already royally screwed. It's absolutely terrifying to think how much it would cost someone to buy Moshiri out now, the club owes him hundreds and hundreds of millions of pounds.
