Farhad Moshiri

With our economy collapsing, I think the PL is becoming much less attractive to foreign owners. It is no coincidence that Liverpool and Utd are up for sale.

So, what you're saying is "why buy a top club for silly money when you can save a few quid and buy a Poundland football club like Everton"?

Glaziers relalise you need North of £20billion, more like £100billion to be at the Top, remain at the Top .Be in the top six regularly, top half for ever.
Even be allowed into the European Super League when it arrives.
It will when they work out how it can be set up keeping the integrity of competition.Relegation Promotion how ever that will work.Maybe a promotion, relegation based on one, two, even three seasons.
So Moshiri really should think about selling very soon.If Glaziers aint wealthy enough, Farhad certainly isnt.
Stay up first, what ever it requires in Jan.

Watching the World Cup has made me realise we need someone from that part of the world to take over, Arab money, oil money, without it we are totally doomed.
United talking about new owners, same possibly Liverpool.
Unless Moshiri sells to some one from down there we are only going to get worse.

Fixed that for you mert

See I think his point actually helps us, we are cheap compared to united and Liverpool, also united needs a lot of investment, including ground work

Plus you get a free Bill Kenwright when you buy Everton. You can’t opt out of this deal.

That's a reason prospective bidders probably take one look and then walk away, they see some bloke who has been part of the furniture for 30+ years with his 1.2% of the shares who wants to have a say in everything that goes on. Any sensible business person is going to be like 'no thanks' far too much hassle.

With Man United and Liverpool up for sale, I would think it is highly unlikely we attract that make of owner.

Granted the Stadium will make us more attractive but still the commercial, branding and the state of what we are on the pitch leaves a lot to the imagination.

Our ship sailed when City owners over looked us.

By "Overlooked us" you mean due to our magnanimous owner still wanted(and still wants to this day) to remain in charge?

Is the ass falling out of football then, seems like early signs indicate a possibility.

Good times

Sorry for going on, ffp is designed for the top six cash rich, ffp immune teams, it will stop the likes of Everton, Villa, Newcastle and the rest of the teams in the PL from threatening them too much of progressing. Newcastle have an outside chance this year...if they get lucky with injuries, they have already stated they are very close to the ffp limits.

If he really only has 1.2% he has no real say in what goes on, he might have a say in what goes on because the owner employes him to do so but a new owner isnt going to do that, so nice try on try to downplay Bill... but that wont work anymore

Be interesting to see if any potential takeover will initiate a clear out and use all their own people. And, how the fans and local media will react should they make errors and how much leeway they are given .

And he was right to do so, he earned that right, its easy to say this now about the City owners but back then you couldnt accuratly predict what they would go on to do, just like you couldnt predict what Moshiri was going to do to us, besides if the City owners really did want us they would of found a way, they didnt.
Either way that City take over was about 4 years give or take after they moved to a new stadium, they didnt take over City when they played at Maine Road just like they had no real interest on a take over of Everton at Goodison.

Hopfully it wont take 3 or 4 years for us to get a buy out after moving

They %100 will, the fact Moshiri decided not too is also a reflection on how dumb he is, however there is nothing to say if he had of done things might of gone better, there is a good chance they would of got worse when you look at how bad his football buisness skills are.

He has a say in stuff till the ground is finished by all accounts, part of the terms of sale (very poor on Farhads part I agree) Hopefully any new owner would kick him in too touch along with the invisible DBB. I have always said the same (you just forget and keep twisting it all the time) Bill Kenwright had his chance at running EFC, time moved on, he moved on and sold his controlling stake and he should have walked away imo and we could have had a clean slate to start from under a new regime. That is all I have ever said on things.

It will affect them. As the pound has lost value, buying foreign players gets more expensive. As the cost of living crisis hits, I’m sure some people will have to re evaluate how much football they watch, whether that is in buying tickets, or paying for TV deals.
As an example my e, Sky revenue across Europe has fallen 13% this year. Subscribers are leaving. That will mean a smaller PL rights deal.

I cancelled Sky a while back. Prices going up and with it more and more advertisement breaks. Getting ridiculous. They know many will pay for the love of the sport so take liberties regardless.
