Earls profile has already been removed from the efc website so yep he has gone

Cheers mate, I'd only seen the tweet about the additions, but Woods is still there so I was plainly talking out of my arse!
Strange they didn't "thank him ( Earl ) for his, err, efforts"

The list of shareholders seems to have disappeared from the OS, so they're hopefully in the process of updating that too (y)
 
Here's my thoughts.

On the surface it is a strange one, mainly because of the long time negativity towards Elstone and the perceived ineptness of him in his role.

However, what we've learnt thus far is that the Moshiri 'revolution' (if you can call it that) will be gradual and built up over time. A slow and steady changing of the guard.

A massive mistake a lot of clubs make when a new owner takes over is they bin off all the old staff/personnel straight away.

Today, Moshiri appointed someone, and clearly, Kenwright appointed someone.

We now have a 5 man board (assuming Moshiri is on that, the announcement wasn't made that he is, but of course he will be, given his majority shareholder status). A 5 man board is better than the 2 man board that we had just a few weeks ago. The more voices and ideas, the better.

The bar of acceptability has been raised in regards to what is expected of Elstone. Many of his old excuses are no longer valid. If he underperforms in his role as CEO from this point forward, he won't last long, you would imagine.

Seems that way mate, maybe earl selling up wasn't as amicable as we thought

Possibly, if what you read in the press is to be believed, he'd have got more for his shares from Moores and Noelle, but Kenwright ( and Woods ? ) might have blocked that, so he might be feeling a tad aggrieved.

He's a smart businessman though, so he won't be losing much sleep over it

I don't think Moshiri will be on the board, especially as he can't be in England full time. I think Ryazantsev will be his eyes and ears in the board room.
 
positive thing is, this alexander fella will know how moshiri works, will probably handle the money and will be vital to the stadium thing.

We've already made two appointments since Moshiri coming in, i can see us making another 3-4, one being a commercial director.

All of which will be Moshiris men.

Exciting times ahead :)

In fact, I will amend my post of about 10days ago to state that according to Companies House, Mr Moshiri has not held a directorship in the UK since Feb 2010. I initially said Nov 2009, but found one under the name of Farhad Moshiri, rather than his full name.
I shall now go and flagellate myself, prior to donning a sack-cloth and ashes and crawling over broken glass.

Didn't stop Earl being on the board.

I'm sure they could Skype the meetings from Goodison Road if they wanted to.

Also the main reason Moshiri & Usmanov were/are frustrated at Arsenal was because they wanted to be on the board of directors and Kroenke wouldn't let them.

Therefore I would be shocked if Moshiri isn't on the EFC board in some fashion.

Who is the other appointment?

A.K.A. a night out in Bootle.

Not acceptable that.
I think you should sit in the Bullens for the rest of the season mate
