Farhad Moshiri

[Goat]

Honestly tho, I can see where Zat and his ilk are coming from, we were promised the world and currently we have Darron Gibson and the boy Stickleback, even the "old" Everton would consider that uninspiring, but there is currently 2 whole months of this transfer window left, lots of players are still on holiday, as Esk alludes to, the real business will start next week. Players not involved with the Euros or the Copa will return to their clubs, sit downs will be had all over the show.

The real works starts Monday, hold on to your hats, its gonna get bumpy.

We can all assess the coming and goings transfer-wise by the end of August, and how that leaves us then.

Sod it, I'm in a positive mood.

As far as Moshiri is concerned, and I'm not trying to be sycophantic here, but here at last we have someone willing to put serious money in, and far more importantly, put significant business know-how and contacts at the club's disposal.

I was in despair before he came along. We can't move forward on hope alone, but he is bringing far more than that. We got rid of Martinez and installed our No.1 target as manager, the idea of which was sniggered at by the media and rival fans alike.

A new stadium was off the table a few months ago, last summer our marquee signing cost £9.5M, and we were bedeviled by a stagnant and frankly amateur board not fit for purpose at a 21st century Premier League club.

It seems likely we will break our transfer record this summer and add several other high-quality signings. Those who want to leave will only do so on terms we dictate. A stadium move is being handled by professionals highly competent in financial and project management I believe. Ryazantsev in particular is an absolute breath of fresh air in terms of clarity, purpose, and ambition. I read above we may be debt-free. We can look forward to a Director of Football being appointed to plot a coherent, sustainable long-term strategy, and new board members of the ilk and professionalism of Ryazantsev.

We face an enormous dogfight to even get top six, and there will be plenty of downs as well as ups. I just thought looking at Wales vs.Belgium last night, and Leicester last season, if they can do it, so can Everton, and then some. We need the off-field ingredients and it looks like they are beginning to fall into place. I just want to be able to hope that a league title is not so far off the scale as to be a distant dream, a vague impossibility, and I'm starting to get that hope back.

Cracking post mate, sums my feelings up perfectly.

Excellent post mate

Moshiri wants success instantly? That's why we are looking to sign 27/28 years old end products with massive fees.

 

[deipnosophist]

Is the prize money for finishing place in the PL increasing this season and if so what is each place worth (currently about 1 mio ). And does prize money constitute tv revenue?
Thanks in advance for any edification

I agree with this - it seems the strategy will be to produce a team capable and with the best chances of winning something as soon as possible, then using that success as a platform for a more structured, longer term strategy of gradual squad development and redefinition.

I've not yet seen the formula for distributions for 2016/17 but largely the answer to both questions is yes, will check to see if the formula is published yet.

Im sure that was 1 of the reasons Koeman came, I mean the 6-7m a year must have helped, but Southampton have this 5 year plan bollocks, slow incremental squad building, the Martinez way, buy quality youngsters and watch them increase in value, a noble, but sadly flawed plan.

Buy ready made players and win the lot I say.

Great post mate. Your last paragraph summed it up. We can see light at the end of the tunnel, under moshiri's vision, we have the capability to challenge for the title once again. It won't happen overnight, but slowly but surely we are getting things in place (redevelopment of training ground, proposed director of football, new stadium) which will give us the infrastructure to once again challenge for the title. Having witnessed the title success' of the 80s I didn't think I would see it again in my lifetime. That dream could become a reality and I'd love nothing more than our long suffering (and older supporters) seeing us reclaim our position as a club with foresight, vision and ultimately success.

This is what I am getting too. Koeman wants to be managing a top 6 team, ideally one challenging for the league. Mossier wants the same. I don't think we will see Koeman looking at the long term picture in the way Moyes/Martinez did. That will be running alongside with getting a DOF who will start to look at a longer term picture.

My own gut feeling is that Koeman will stay two years and probably leave us as a top 6 possibly top 4 team. He may move on To a Barcelona then.

We will then be left looking at manager of the ilk of Emery, Simeone and Mourinho and be in a far better place to attract in with DOF who is bedded in with two years worth of structures.

Of course Koeman may remain. I think both he and Moshiri and looking for a very quick turnaround on performance though. By August I have a sneaky feeling we will be one of the dark horses for the title.

Totally agree!

He has my 100% support in going for instant success.

Boys of my vintage can't depend on the luxury of watching even a medium term rebuild strategy come to fruition

That average of £80m per club will leap closer to £120m per club, per season. Next season’s winners will take home central prize cash alone of around £150m. The team at the bottom will earn about £100m.

I also cant find any solid figures yet, but lets just say its gonna get scary.

This is very very exciting news to hear for every Evertonian. Can't wait for the first game of the season. Witsel, Mata, Begovic and more in one window. This is getting FM like. Joy!
