If you look around the league at the ‘visible’ owners over time they are more frequently a liability and ultimately well dodgy. Marinakis for example is only going to end badly for Forest.

Well, it's not either / or.

The stadium the new owners also had to pay for?. The stadium is great, but Moshiri couldn’t even do that right.

TFG have restructured the debt on the new stadium. That's all.

We spent under Moshiri.

There's no doubt about that.

And the effort out in to pull that stadium scheme off is easily enough to see him thought better of than TFG ever will be...and that's from a long standing Moshiri critic.

You’re not a long standing Moshiri critic, you flipped your opinion on him as soon as the majority of the fanbase realised he was a clown. It’s been about 3 years since you last posted anything remotely critical of him.

You’ll do the same with the current owners. Whichever way the wind blows your coding will be written to go against it.

No. That's not true. I never ever gave my support to him, and when he started meddling in team affairs early on I opposed him. And I then stuck to that.

You went silent on him around headlockgate and when it looked like we were going into administration. Suddenly started banging on about how much of a game changer the stadium is and how he should be given credit for it, but without ever addressing any of the glaring negatives. You’re talking to someone here who was also banging the Moshiri Out drum long before the majority of people had turned, don’t forget.

Ha Ha Ha.

You're preposterous.

Dave you have to be fair ha.

You've been fairly positive about Moshiri when mentioning him of late.

I doubt very much that I'm alone in thinking TFG are shaping up to be chancers.

And dont tell me that it was Textor or them. This club would have got a buyer regardless of the Friedkins.

Oh I'm sure your not alone in doubting them.
Where you are alone (thank God) is in posting the same ultra-negativite thoughts in slightly different wording on a daily basis over and over and over and over again. :rolleyes:

It's like you're not satisfied in just being miserable, you can't be satisfied until everybody else is as miserable as you.

Yes. Of late. Now that he's way out of meddling distance.

But when he was owner he got the straight bat from me.

IMO we're heading for a VERY early protest against this lot.

Everton supporters wont wear broken promises from absentee owners.

Do you mean less than the 15 years it took to protest against BK and his mates?

I think the dam broke with Everton supporters when Headlockgate happened.

Even before that the fanbase were agitated by the proposed move to Kirkby and the continued piss take of Kenwright-Green-Earl. Organisations came out of that like the Blue Union and KEIOC. The Moshiri early years kept Everton supporters pacified, but then we had fan groups forming to agitate against him and Kenwright and the situation became too much for that regime to keep control.

The genie is out of the bottle in terms of fan protests and fan organisations prepared to fight. No Fans Advisory Board poodle is ever going to gain credibility. They'll be bypassed when the

hits the fan and the time comes to shift TFG.
