The Everton Board Thread

"Offered a friendly to Kiev"

That's not happening then.

 

[Bluestar]

The carpet bagging clown needed to say, in so many words: "Sorry, I tried to over-ride everyone else at the club and get my own way and I wont be doing that again in a hurry".

I expect more autocratic behaviour in the future.

I’m sure he’s had a big fright this year. I think he’ll be a little more sanguine.

He'll be backseat driving again.

That is a perfunctory statement - a box that needed ticking.

I’m with this fella on this.

Ultimately mate the question is simple - if Moshiri sells up after moving to BMD will he leave the club in a stronger position to progress than when he first rocked up at a run down Goodison with a penniless owner on the back of 3 failed ground moves?

The answer is yes.

The problem is fans are inpatient and want instant success.

Now thats understandable with the money spent but we as a collective have played our part in demanding instant success rather than having patience and seeing building blocks put in place. People talk about Brighton but no way Potterball lasts 38 games finishing 16th and keeps his job - between the fans and Moshers himself he would be toast.

Moshiri and the fanbase are a mere reflection of one another - desperate for glory after 2 decades of a failed Kenwright Regime happy to make up the numbers.

Yeah Everton fans can be a little impetuous but Moshiri emboldened those implausible expectations much like bill and to an even greater degree by stating his grandiose intentions without enacting proper foundations for us to develop. He wanted instant success even more than the fans and through a series of inept blunders generated significant erosion of quality in the club. He also sabotaged his own managers who I thought were already I'll equipped to achieve what he envisioned.
If the stadium gets finished I'll give him kudos for that feat but I'm not going to laud for the shambolic course of events that preceded it. Definitely for the love of god not going to advocate for a statue lol

I agree about the statement, but I think what happened this season will have affected him. He owns the club so of course he is going to make decisions, but I bet he takes a bit more advice.

He has also changed the structure and initial feedback on Thelwell I’m hearing is positive.

 

[Azza]

Very nicely written by Prenno that.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

If he told kenwright to kick rocks maybe I'd be more inclined to believe the apology

It took the US. Govt. decades to remove the mob from Vegas...just saying.

 

[barneygumble]

We protested because he tried to appoint Vitor Pereira.

How are they taking credit for that one? They wanted to hire a lunatic when the squad needed support.

Rubbish as per.

You could make an argument for Koeman and Alladyce all to have been given more time.

Koeman finished 7th the previous season in which fans were rioting at Goodison for his head 6 games into the following season.

Alladyce took a rag tag bunch and had us 8th even if it was ugly on the eye. Again the fans were obsessed with a "philosophy" "young and progressive" appointment and we ended up with Silva/Brands wasting £200 million in the process.

Koeman,u must be joking.Sorry mate I'm sure you are a passionate Evertonian but no wonder u get a lot of stick on here.He was useless.

 

[blulouie]

Think we will be sold before 2022 is done.

I very much doubt he would even consider selling up until the stadium is open.

Moshiri - Reminds me of Nick Knowles from DIY SOS.

"I am pleased your here for the sake of the camera's Nick.
Thanks for improving our home, but when you are done can you kindly shut the door on the way out and leave me to this dire straits life of an Evertonian alone, in smart new gaff."

 

[riddick]

"we hired Frank Lampard because he was the standout candidate, after exhaustive searches involving the interim manager and some bloke who got on talksport one night"

"mistakes were made" I mean that's a GROSS understatement of what he did last summer. Literally every single supporter could see what was going to happen and he still went through with hiring Benitez.

Honestly, not that it matters to anyone least of all him, but it's a shitty "apology".

Of course he will.

It's a perfect mix really. A cowardly and useless board who wont stand up to him, and a delusional owner who wants to play real life football manager.

They both have equity in keeping the other in place.

 

[Richard Alex]

Realistically not one PL owner listens to the fans otherwise all 19 other clubs would be just as bad a shambles as what we are!

If anything Moshiri has been swayed too much by our fans in sacking managers every 5 seconds.

All those managers deserved the sack though
