Farhad Moshiri

I swear if we all just ignore him, Dave will go away.

I'm anxious for the summer to roll around to see how this "new era" really works. Nothing but excitement on my end.

It would be awful if Dave went "away".

He is the beating heart of GOT

 

[LABlue2]

Yeah. Also in there was examples of the feller advising against investing in Facebook.

Great stuff. He's certainly got a great antenna.

Ha ha ha, davek questioning the investing acumen of a billionaire. Great stuff.

Funnily enough often the reverse is true, in the sense that many investors with a portfolio of business interests have numerically had more poor investments than great investments. However what tends to happen with the great investments is that they make so many times more money than what is lost on poor investments that the net effect is an huge increase in wealth.

There's not an investor out there that hasn't lost significant sums on some investments, the successful ones are those who make huge amounts on the profitable ones.

...sounds like me in the betting shop!!! I wasn't particularly thinking of decisions to invest or not invest, I was more thinking about decisions made relating to running a business once it has been purchased. I'm of a view that this man is a truly top drawer businessman who won't micro manage EFC but will have the clever people he trusts working in every strand of the club to make us a success. Hope my optimism isn't misplaced.

Sounds about right mate. I don't think he'll accept mediocrity.

Erm...the old regime being left in charge seemed to rattle a few cages as I seem to recall. Add to that the complete lack of plan for a stadium solution, and now we have a holding company comprised of who knows who in effective control...more than a few questions that could be answered in that lot. I'd also throw in the lack of communication with Lukaku. It speaks volumes to me that the player expressed a wish to meet with Moshiri a couple of weeks before coming out with his statements this week. Given the fact that Moshiri has stated he sees preserving what talent we have here I'd say that was a huge balls up not to get in touch with Lukaku. Maybe in all the rush to blame Martinez for Lukaku's stance that little episode was brushed under the carpet.

well which is it?

Come on dave, I like your wind-ups as much as anyone, but the quality is slipping slightly, you're veering too much into self parody

Exactly how I see it, he's going to be beautiful for this club, loads will be going on right now behind the scenes getting ready for the summer.

I just find it bizarre that any Evertonian is anything but optimistic and excited by what has happened and what is to come.

"Moshiri became my financial mentor," Usmanov said. "I appreciate his encyclopedic knowledge of finance and investments."

Hardly Mr Bean.

Mr. Bean-Counter.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Definitely not blaming Moshiri if Lukaku goes. Ridiculous to indicate that it would be his fault.

 

[kithnou]

We just need to be patient for a couple of seasons. He has a lot of work to do on and off field.

Ian Doyles story in Echo isnt very smart. You just cant put Lukakus decisions and future on his head. What a naive column.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Yeah, because of course it's me that's acting like a Geordie.

Many a true word spoken in jest and all that !

 

[maccavennie]

Agreed and I'm willing to give him until 6pm today to outline his 10 year plan for Everton including details of our 60,000 stadium, kit deal, war chest for the summer and confirmation that Elstone is currently orbiting earth in Sputnik 4 so we are in the process of searching for a new CEO.

Surely that's not too much to ask is it kit?

No dave..ahem mac

 

[FisherEFC]

I think Daves just miffed Moshiri didn't wax lyrical over our under fire manager when luvvy Bill started gushing over him in that interview.

 

[Caolam]

I am very optimistic about Moshiri taking over Everton. I don't think that if he doesn't throw £100 million at the transfer market this year it will necessarily be a bad thing. I can't blame him if Lukaku digs his heels in and wants to move to a CL club.
I would like to see him making every effort to keep all our good players and bring in a few considered buys to move us forward.
Do I want him to go out and buy five £40 million players and change everything about Everton, know I don't think I do.
A top goal keeper, a playmaker and cover for one or two places would do for a start.
