Selling players to pay off a debt you’ve accumulated is asset stripping.
Its not mate, thats just having the business sense of a rodent.

Mosh, Bill or some clueless Yanks, none of it matters, the only way we get back to the top is with Oil money, which we aint getting.

A few seasons floating around in 15th will do us good.

Better than floating around in 19th.

I’m not bothered about us getting back to the top, I’m bothered about the club existing in 5 years first and foremost.

that's the only way success is sustainable.
We'll never see a Leicester again, certainly not in the modern game. It would take for 6/7 teams to have awful seasons and for 1 team to have a near perfect season, and if that 1 club managed to rise above the rest, the likely hood is one of the sinister six would pinch their best players and bring them back down to earth.
Premierleague footy is closer to professional wrestling than a proper competitive sport. Look at this season... We've had Arsenal lead the pack, Brighton and Villa push for a top 4 spot and 3/4 established teams in a relegation battle but come the end of the season most of the PL's franchise clubs will finish top 6 and status quo is restored. If something goes against the narrative theirs a dodgy VAR call. It's not fixed but it's not NOT fixed.
 
Moshiri tried to get us above our station - Ancelotti, James and the stadium. If we are run as a business, hoping that we at some point can get everything right whilst others falter may see us wait another 30 years on top to win something and stuck in midtable purgatory, whilst clubs like Newcastle are picking up pots. I think that is just as bad as now tbh.

PS Is there a threat of administration or this that just parroting the doom merchants? We are only not spending due to FFP rules I believe.
"If we are run as a business" is a scary statement mate, the club is a business whether we like it or not, even the likes of Newcastle and City need to be run like a business. It's not one or the other. All I'd say is, when Everton were run more 'like a business', we got a hell of a lot closer to success than we have by splashing cash we don't have on bang average players.

As for administration, it's most certainly a realistic threat - this line is from our most recent accounts: "These matters indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt over on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern." - Moshiri had to provide a letter of support stating that he would support the club financially, but it isn't legally binding.
 

Moshiri will have zero interest in 'us' he will sell to the highest bidder not who will make us successful again.

I suspect you're right chief however I have no desire for change just for the sake of it. Whilst things have gone wrong in recent seasons at least you know the current fella is funding things himself and not through bank loans on the club which can easily change when it comes to US owners. People talk about Glazers and Hicks/Gillette but Burnley were taken over literally last year with debt put on them by a US group not to dissimilar to 777.

Unless the right custodians come on board we'll still be pissing in the wind in this league of Shiekh owned clubs and cartel protected elite sides.
 
Had a nobhead of a week in work and have seemingly missed something large given the rapid growth of this thread.

Could anyone link a brother up?

Is he? The money sure seems to have dried up since those Russian sanctions hit.
