Farhad Moshiri

are you sure? That implies 777 are financing his past poor investments too. I'm not sure of actual figures here so you may be right
Overall wealth increasing in other areas sure, just Everton was the bad investment so far, has he been Everton that'd?
Definitely no carpetbagger though because his intentions were obviously good

Every penny he’s “invested” has been Usmanov’s.

you don't know that for certain
would take some serious investigative journalism to prove that

It wouldn’t at all though would it, the fact that all investment ground to an immediate halt when Usmanov was sanctioned pretty much spells it out for you.

Only became dodgy when the government decided it was. For years prior both parties and Londons financial institutes were only to happy for the Oligarchy to locate and spend their ill gotten gains in the UK.

Spot on.

They’ve swapped being getting ill money from Russia to the human rights abusers in the Middle East.

Spot on, we even have one of them in the House of Lords.

And owns most of the newspapers.

No that’s true Abramovich being the prime example, and look what happened there. But we spent so long claiming that Usmanov had nothing to do with us. That they’ve agreed, I don’t think Mosh actually has any of his own money

The only difference is they got bought by owners with more money (combined and also links to Saudi)

 

[Bedfordblue]

He’s not going to lose anything at all if he gets his way with this 777 takeover. Anyway his own personal wealth has actually increased according to the Forbes list.

Another way to look at it is he’s not losing anything, he is in fact gaining several hundred million pounds of legitimate money.
What they spent was opaque in its origin, this is clean as a whistle and not subject to any sanctions.

Worst thing to ever happen to this club.

It's a good point.

But I'd say Kenwright is right at the top of the tree followed by this clown.

Yeah it's Kenwrights unwillingness to let us go, is the reason this clown is here.

The majority of our failings all lead back to Bill Kenwright. Some people might not like that, but it's 100% the truth and deep down even his biggest supporters know it.

Moshiri was just an extension of Kenwright, just with more money but with the same clueless decision making and fairytale bull that dug the hole we find ourselves in even deeper.

Nah mate, Bill was always the Patsie, the money always makes the decisions.

Moshiri played Bill like a fiddle and we all fell for it, in my opinion.

Moshiri could’ve volleyed Bill out the door at any point in the last 8 years. He didn’t because it was very convenient to have him stay around and take the flak for him, he was Moshiri’s shield.

Both have been toxic to the football club, I don’t know why people still feel the need to compare them and come up with a hierarchy of blame.

 

[Neiler]

Bill was the bad train set megalomaniac while Moshiri was the bumbleing uncle dropping 50 pound notes out of his pocket.

That’s was and alarmingly still is the perception amongst some. Moshiri has called all the shots from day one and used the board as an absolute lighting rod for his absolute torpedoing of the club, it’s a PR materclass.

Somehow there were protests last year from Jan to May with a focus against the board and no one said boo to Moshiri. If you believe the board were anything but well payed puppets you’re kidding yourself.

Moshiri is a pox on this football club from first day to the last, decision to decision he has slowly ebbed away and destroyed this once revered institution.

Worst thing to ever happen to this club. No it’s or doubts.

A pox.
