Farhad Moshiri

[Dixieslaces]

Fans of ours have VERY short memories.

Before Moshiri rocked up we were in freefall under BK/Martinez - the owner couldn't even afford to sack brown shoes. We were still sell to buy and had it not been for Moyes working miracles we'll have been relegated time and time again until we were a League One outfit.

Any dreams of a new ground were touted cheap shamble deals with Tesco and ground shares with the RS.

Sir Farhad at least let us dream for a short period - no one called him names when we spent £100m+ budgets on players like Richarlison, Digne, Rodriguez and appointed Carlo Ancelotti as manager. Didnt heckle him when BMD became a reality not just fancy plans on paper.

I find the abuse of the man by some suspects disgraceful tbh. People can say he's failed but also acknowledge the positives & investment he's made into the club.

Of course, we can acknowledge the positives, sadly the positives are far outweighed by the "results" of any of those positives.

There is a very distinct possibility that he will oversee a world class stadium while also seeing us relegated, fined/censured/bankrupted, with a world class stadium we can neither afford or own.

If you take the plaudits when things go well, you must take the critique when it doesn't, in his time, nothing, including the stadium now, is going well is it? So therefore all criticism levelled at him is justified.

His legacy could well be destroying Everton FC.

Ponder on that.

I'm not sure of the numbers, was just a guess. I know they will have a larger following than us in Thailand and their total social media following is larger than ours.

Oh yeah, we're practically non-existent here mate. My niece is the only one at her school and her school friends laugh at her.

Ok, fine. Neither of us have won anything but we haven't spent 16 of the past 18 years out of the top flight. Our revenue should be higher than theirs, we are badly run.

Better?

I wasn't contradicting your point, just the falsehood that Leeds haven't won anything recently

We should absolutely be better off, just for the fact we've stayed constantly in the top flight, especially with more money than ever constantly being pumped in

I think his biggest mistake was leaving the the pathological liar in charge. He obviously thought he could play absent landlord, just supply the cash and watch the transformation from afar. The club was already a hollowed-out shell of its former self. He had to spend a fortune just to pay off the debts accrued over the previous decades and then chose to spend an even bigger fortune on the stadium in parallel to everything else. The relative on-field stability of the previous years had been supplied by Moyes only... as proven by the fact that within a couple of years of his departure, the slide had begun. His first major cash injections were squandered and the die was cast. All increases in commercial income came from his backer.... free money.

The stadium decisions suffer from some of the same scattergun, money-no-object economics as the team investment. Just keep throwing cash at it until it becomes a reality, regardless of any consequences. Unfortunately those consequences are real too.

The hope is that the stadium helps provide that massive step-change in everything. It's hard to make the numbers work right now, with the club completely hamstrung and appearing to be in a fire sale, both on and off the pitch.

All that is irrelevant to my post.

The fans claiming he's ruined the club have short memories because even if its not worked out a success on the field Moshiri has offered more positives than what we had the previous two decades prior to his arrival.

Ya'll talk as if it were trophies, healthy balance sheets & CL football prior to Moshiri which is bull crap sir. Moyes aside the club was in a hole - no money, no investment, no new ground, no funds for players, no hope.

Even if? lol. It hasn't. even stevie wonder can see that

Just watching the semis, probably open a beer in a. .. . . . oh wait, Moshiri? Oh dunno, counting his cash or something

 

[ToffeeTim]

Has he given up on backing the managers at the club?

If he doesn't want to back Sean Dyche he needs to sell the club as soon as possible.

He hasn't given us change this summer either. The board room reshuffle to try and appease elements of the fanbase was a total farce.

Thinking that, it's his club that's heading down the toilet, 7 years of backing managers wasted due to Kenwright and his merry, clueless recruitment team.

 

[summerisle]

Yep.

 

[Bebeto]

He needs to go and take bill with him...I am surprised that since the last protest there hasn't been another one...it seems to me that they're probably thinking we're ok having sacked the other 3...he is taking us to the championship of that there is no doubt. MSP deal has been very quiet, wondering if moshiri has cold feet and perhaps doesn't want to give up too much equity in the long run so that he can make some money at the end of it once the stadium is built.

Can we reset this poll mods? I'm almost certain that the immovable 110 have left or are foreverblert92 multis. Surely there's not 1 in 11 Evertonians who think this dude is doing a good job?
