Moshiri's full quotes re squad - https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spo...d-moshiri-explains-evertons-problems-15648980
“Financing is not everything. I have thrown £250m to turn a museum into a competitive outfit,” he said.
“You just have to get it right, throwing money is not the answer.”
“Just buying players in January may not help us,” Moshiri added.
“We have too many players coming in.
“It's getting the performance level and improving them.
“It's not just rhetoric, we are very serious about what we want to do. I am fan and I look at the the table and No11 is just not good enough, I think we know that.
“I think we've got to go up the table and I think we need to utilise the fans' impatience to drive the club but we need to be patient to allow the development.
“There will be no reaction that has not been thought out.”
“The difficulty we've experienced is we lost three of our best players: John Stones, Ross Barkley and Romelu,” he said.
“They were young and on low wages and for us to lose Stones, you get £45m but he was on low wages. To replace him with a defender of that quality you need to pay him £200,00 a week. We didn't do that.
“And in replacing these three players we had to spend a lot of money and pay high wages, that's the difficulty, like for like.
“We sold Romelu for £75m and he was on £70,000 a week, in that region, you would have to pay £120m and pay £250,000 a week, so that is the challenge.
“It is why football experts of Marcel's calibre are needed, infrastructure is important and to comply with financial fair play you need to go for younger players on low wages. You might have to pay big fees but you've got to keep the wages down and that is the challenge.
“I think we've learnt, we've had bad luck, we've had poor judgement but I feel the business we did in the summer shows that we are in the right direction, but it's been difficult.”

Agree fully with the bolded bit.
Personally I also agree with Neiler's opinion. The difference between the two is that Davek's opinion could have been accurately predicted by any regular forum visitor, even before the meeting had begun.

Spew him off and get Blue Bill back in charge, that's what I say. Wouldn't have any of this AGM nonsense under him.

First question I would ask:
"Farhad lad, any chance of power-hosing the plastic on the sides of the main stand... only 45 years overdue?!!!!"

One important aspect missed or lost in the headline grabbers is the stadium funding, he confirmed 350 million will be coming from borrowing and 150 from the club/privately.
Yeah they get financing sorted. We still don't have any.
I know, but that article was specifically regarding squad spend
Do you not think it is a negative that we still don't have any financing in place for our stadium?

Still firmly in the boat of actions speak louder than words. Firstly they need to translate everything they're saying, all these soundbites, into results on the pitch. Followed by that, actual progress on the stadium. The signs behind the scenes are good though, we just need the results on the pitch now.
