Farhad Moshiri

“The club is not for sale but I have been talking to top investors, really quality, to bridge a gap (in funding) on the stadium,” Moshiri told the club’s FAB.

“I can do it myself and the reason I want to do it is to bring top sport investors to Everton. We are close to having a deal done. It is not selling the club at all. It is bringing more expertise in terms of sponsorship, commercial development and a lot of specialist sport investors have this pool of knowledge.

“The stadium is the best-performing area of our operation at the moment: on time, on budget. Once we get through the current underperformance fans can start dreaming with me. The stadium was never a luxury for Everton. For us, it was a necessity.”


“The ambition for Everton is always to be part of the elite,” he added. “We were part of the elite. Our goal is never to be in the bottom three. Our ambition is to play European football.

“We haven’t succeeded today but we have laid the foundation to do it. We’ll get there but we can only get there together.”

“Then, last summer, we offered him a better deal than Chelsea. Whatever they offered we matched but he just didn’t want to stay. He wanted to play for Chelsea at that time.

“I can assure you we tried everything to keep Rom. If I tell you what we offered him you wouldn’t believe it. We offered him a better deal than Chelsea and his agent came to Finch Farm to sign the contract. Robert [Elstone, Everton’s chief executive] was there, everything was in place, there were a few reporters outside, then in the meeting Rom called his mother. He said he was on a pilgrimage in Africa or somewhere and he had a voodoo and he got the message that he needs to go to Chelsea.

“I got close to Rom, I like the boy, he’s a good boy, and I used all my charm to keep him and I flatly failed. This is unfortunately the world. Ultimately we lost money. To buy Rom now would be £120m. The issue was his brain had gone. He was in LA and he wouldn’t come back. It happens. Alex Ferguson got another year out of [Cristiano] Ronaldo but then he was off. [Luis] Suárez had to bite a few players to get off.”

I'm not trying to lay blame at anybodys feet here, really, I'm not.......

But....

Didn't the Everton twitter mob drive his Niece off socials and harass her? Maybe he's just been playing the long game of revenge.

Just a thought. You know what the people he knocks about with can be like, they prefer Novichok over a bullet.

This cannot be a real quote, I’ve never seen this before. Human beings do not speak like this.

BINGO

But he has funded much of the stadium himself, he's just not funded anything else at the same time.

He hasn’t funded any of it himself.

Say what you want about Farhad, but we'll never ever have a funnier owner. An absolute loon who you could guarantee you were getting a 10/10 quote from every time he opened his mouth. Our trump. Some of them lies are objectively hilarious.

Has he almost folded the club and caused irreparable damage? Yes.
Did he give us amazing quotes to his best mate Jim? Also yes.

You probably missed it at the time due to the tears after the voodoo quote.

He is absolutely 100% insane, isn't he.

 

[Neiler]

He has put nearly a billion in if we're being fair...and £450mill towards the stadium.

The actual running of the club and how he's gone about is what he's massively failed at.

We’re 450 million external debt mate, it wasn’t all his money, he’s leveraged us and let’s not forget he’s getting a selling price too.

Hes a pox.

The’s worst thing to ever happen to the club.

Oh my god I remembered the voodoo bit but that final paragraph

Moshiri needs to start talking to other interested parties if this takeover falls through

Not a word of exaggeration.

Moshiri for all his many faults has actually invested his money into the club unlike Kenwright.. The biggest mistake he made was keeping on that bluffer Kenwright imo.

As for the wanting him dead comment, that statement just smacks of a kopite desperately trying to ingratiate himself with Everton supporters imo.

Nearly all the club owners in the league are criminals, cheats and fakes as well mate.

I have no words for people like yourself.

Good luck finding any..
