Farhad Moshiri

Nice to see stuff that has been said privately and off the record in recent months now being public and on the record.

Hugely exciting few months ahead.

Still feel like I'm waiting for something to go horribly wrong. All seems way good to be true, especially for us.

Just the fact the ambition taken by the club has clearly changed massively has had a massive effect, from Moshiri's introduction..

Incredible really.

 

[Damo W]

For me, it was the statement that it isn't a project it is more than that, was the telling phrase he used, basically the club is going to be different than what we are used to.

Hence the marketing campaign "Nothing will be the same". New owner, manager, board, players, improve the ground (goodison), outlook, ambition, stadium (new).

As he says this isn't a project this is a wholesale change and I am liking it.

Looks like he would literally stab you if you said no

Not a very nice thing to say just because he's black.

Sake. He's more British than Iranian...

Mr Moshiri left Iran when he was 24.
I left Merseyside for Scotland when I was 20,I am very much an Englishman so err.? by my reckoning that makes Mr Moshiri Iranian.........unless of course you would like to explain anything different.

It is difficult to phrase this without sounding a bit odd, but I have a pal who left Iran under similar circumstances to Morishi. Basically the child of an educated, upper middle class, professional parents. (The type who feared for their lives after the cultural revolution)

That class of society were often educated in England. They certainly had a very western outlook in their views, aspirations, call it what you like. But the Iran we now think of is a billion miles away from the Iran they lived and thrived in 40 odd years ago.

I guess is was similar to to the upper middle class in India under the Raj. They "felt" British.

So it's not just me then.

Roydo good point well put but I still consider him having left Iran at 23 to be Iranian,different if he had left as a child,but hey I'm not arguing.

Doesnt really matter does it? I left Liverpool as a 7 year old for Bristol. Sound Bristolian, (Ask @Groucho ), but still from Liverpool.

To be honest if he wanted to paint himself orange and tell us all he was an Umpah Lumpah then crack on !

The only thing that matters realy is that he is now an Evertonian!

Hopefully now with new owners,we can get a tv channel on sky or where ever,and have something worth watching on tv

New owners has nothing to do with that. We wouldn't get the subscriber base to make it worth it. Liverpool and United can do it becuase they have glory boys all over the world and all over the country. We don't quite have that, put simply.

I would make sweet love to every one of them. Even the bird with the moustache.
