I have no idea if above link works but I've lifted this off Watched Toffee
This a copied from that blog post that was going around earlier. I posted a reply to this before from someone that seems to know what they're talking about
Someone on the Everton reddit seemed to know a bit more about his time at the Padres. He's replying to that blog article blaming him for their failure:

The Padres they were basically the worst franchise in Major League Baseball with a terrible stadium and had only been to the postseason once in the 25 years of their existence until Moore purchased them. After his purchase they went to the postseason 4 times (world series once and lost a one off play in game in 2007 that would have made the number 5) in the 18 years he owned them, not great but offers some perspective.

Additionally he was able to get one of the best stadiums in MLB built. The article attacks him for using public financing but that was basically done everytime a stadium was built in that time period. This actually seems to be one of the most successful ventures for team/city.

I don't know if this will be a good thing or bad thing but to say he singlehandedly ruined a baseball team is completely wrong. I would argue he took a floundering franchise and turned it around.
 
But hopefully this one:

That Watched Toffee just shared a pretty damning report on Moore. Yes it's one fans group opinion, but a very worrying read if it's factual


Is that the same Watched Toffee who's been campaigning day and night to get Kenwright out of Everton ?
While I share some of those concerns about this new consortium, I'd say he's being a bit bloody fickle.

he's just put a link up to someone else's article that's all.

Logically if they are concerned enough about the running of the club currently then they will be concerned about the running of the club in the future.

he's just upset that the board will make profit of it

Sounds exactly like Kenwright.

Not investing into the playing staff.

Keeping the wage bill low.

Not willing to fork out own money to build a team.

Using public funds to build a new stadium.

Selling the club to make personal profits.


Why the hell do we need to replace one kenwright with another kenwright?

the vast majority of stadiums in the US were built with large contributions from city tax money, some aren't but a fair amount are. Relocation is a powerful negotiation tool for owners to pressure cities to provide large contributions to stadium construction. That's not possible or done in footie. The Vikings fleeced the city of Minnesota to get $500m towards a $1b stadium by threatening to move to Los Angeles. Won't work over in the UK with Everton
