It is though that's the thing. Farhad is clearly a wealthy individual however much of his money is what would be deemed as 'paper wealth' it's stocks, bonds, investments in companies etc, etc. He doesn't have loads and loads of disposable cash, certainly not the amounts required to run a top flight football club and certainly not without Usmanov in his corner. If you have idiots in the boardroom and at the top who are miles out of their depth then you need an owner who is constantly bailing the club out. If you get proper people, who work together towards a common goal (to say a 5 year plan) then a club can make it's own money and run efficiently. We only have ourselves to blame tbh.

I agree completely with that. The issue is that Moshiri doesn't appear to be the strong leader to be able to employ a strong management team and put a strategy in place.

Thats it mate. If it wasnt getting done Bell wouldnt have invested, id sugest its just the processing of the paper work.

The real take home and concern for me is - why did we need the Bell money in advance of the MSP deal- were we struggling with the payment schedule of the stadium, are we low on cash flow.....strikes me as a bit of a red flag.

Also be interesting to see how this plays out, as it stands as a debtor and possibly a minority share holder he cant be a board member, however if he is repaid his 40 mill - by MSP and it turns out to be a bridging loan - he can take a place on the board. i.e. what we dont know at the moment is if the Bell money is part of the 100 mill or the club desperately needed the £40 mill now ahead of the MSP deal - which would be a red flag.

MSP have been having trouble raising funds. Bell and Downing have joined up with MSP to create a fundng vehicle to put money into the club.

Current strongest starting line up:

Pickford
Patterson-Keane-Tarkowski-Myko
Iwobi-Gueye-Garner-McNeil
Doucouré
Calvert-Lewin

  1. Only left back in the squad is awful
  2. Centre half ended last season as 4th choice
  3. Only one half decent winger in the squad (McNeil)
  4. Only one decent striker in the squad and he's been injured for over a year and nobody knows if he'll ever be able to put in an extended run in the side
  5. No even half proven backup goalkeeper
And no doubt no money. Looks like Onana has to go and hopefully whatever money we get from him, Maupay, Holgate hopefully and Gray.. well let's just hope it doesn't disappear into thin air as we're currently significantly weaker than the squad that almost got relegated.

Brainthwaite comes back in and is better than Keane IMO. Hard not to see Cannon being better than Maupay, but we need to recruit well from the loan market and keep DCL fit.

Virginnia is a perfectly adaquate backup.

Problem with being a back up is only an injury away from starting, Virginia is not on any level adequate. He gets benched at every club he goes too. Not good enough and we need better at number 2.
 
I wonder if MSP are our saving grace here. All talk about their investment went quiet, now the board purge has begun, will there be an announcement of their investment in the week following that? Could be a sign that the only thing Moshiri listens to, money, forced his hand into removing the board. Maybe MSP said the only way they would go through with it was with a new board and new leadership, and so Moshiri had to do it to save his financial skin.

i think that moshiri was maybe hoping something better was going to come along after the bourmouth game and he’s ran out of time hence why they needed that what looks like a bridging loan off that bell fella. i mean 150 mill for a quarter of the club is quite cheap in todays terms , what i’m worried about is if msp have to make up the next shortfall i think it was 380 mill everton were short by , would that mean that they own the staduim and any future revenue it makes ?

There was never a negotiation over the current board staying. Not buying someone else’s problems.
