Farhad Moshiri

[Toffeepot]

This statement from Moshiri is another sign that it's not just Bill, Denise and all those on that level that are the issue. He is complicit in his complacency and delusions.

He says he is behind our manager, but willl probably sack him him if we get beat by Southampton. He claimed to be a private man in a previous statement but prior to that was quick to chat to his mate jim white and the media.

We were asked to judge at the end of the window. Another false dawn.

Its clear any campaign does not need to target just the board, but our delusional, unrelatable owner.

We are a depriciating asset to our owner and board who are clinging on for their big pay day when our new stadium opens. But we may not get to that milestone with their complete mismanagement.

Our loyalty, our passion is collateral that means nothing to them.

Their bottom line is their finance. Our bottom line is alot more.

Well said!
I know this isn't a popular opinion, especially coming from someone who isn't at many matches for geographical reasons but the only way they will listen is not a 'sit-in', it's a 'sit-out'
Kenwright only understands 'bums on seats' as a theatre man and Moshiri wouldn't be long listening if the main regular source of financing is threatened.
I get that this is likely not going to happen and if I had sacrificed for a season ticket I'd be reluctant to not use it, but as long as the money rolls in from fans loyalty will be taken for granted

When was the last AGM?

December 20/Jan21. I forget exactly.

That was the Zoom AGM so a bit of a farce tbh. It was when the club requested questions for the board where mailed in and they made pre recorded responses. (Our board is first class, revered throughout football. Denise is the best in the business etc)

They did say the next Zoom AGM would allow 'live' questions to the board but they cancelled it and then changed the club articles to remove the need altogether. (just like they did in the mid/late 00s when the heat was on Kenwright.

Cowards, the lot of them.

Can someone tell me what else you expected him to say?

Its mad how people react.

It was that bad that saying nothing at all would have probably been better

The proof is in the pudding, we don’t create enough revenue, we don’t get the best sponsors out there, we are recruiting the wrong managers, the scouting system is shocking, the chairman and CEO are useless, they’re getting paid a kings random to make this club successful on and off the pitch and theyre failing.

This is the long term issue that's not been addressed.

We didn't make enough revenue under Kenwrights ownership, in fact, we were losing money. We only kept afloat via selling whatever assets we had and ever increasing payday loans against future ST sales/TV revenue.

The difference now is we (the board) have been overly generous with transfer fees and salaries to frankly average players to convince them to sign for Everton.

It was all well and good when we had Usmanov sponsoring anything with a bit of vacant space for a logo (even a dock that was still full of water). Events over the past year have put a stop to his generosity placing us back in the incapable hands of our commercial team.

We have suffered the embarrassing climb down over gambling sponsorships over an extra few hundred grand a season because we're that desperate for cash. Don't get me wrong, I get it.... We need to wring every penny out of sponsors, but don't slag off an entire industry before deciding to climb into bed with them. Again.

Our sponsorships are absolutely miles away from the very top clubs (obviously) and are even lagging behind who many would say are our current peers. We have a small club leadership team that have turned us into a small club business.

As others have said, Moshiri and his hands off attitude has been catastrophic. If he sells we need another idiot to come in and continue funding our losses until we become self sufficient. With the current board and exec team that's never happening. With a competent exec team we're probably 4/5 years away.

It's really grim.

One of the best paid managerial jobs in football, never had much beating on the door. Just accept he did what many asked for time and again.

Appoint the wrong manager?

He certainly caved into people wanted Frank Lampard, for some banal reason. Other than that, it was all on Farhad and he never needed much help getting the appointments wrong.

I have been thinking about the `Moshiri response and I just want to dumb this all down, more for my own sanity.

If you was him, you have wasted millions, you are surrounded by people who have underperformed in every area, you now have various fan groups protesting and your team is in the relegation zone.

Why would you not seek to get rid of them? it would appease the fans and show some form of progress and in turn it protects you asset. I don't have an answer as to why he would protect the board and be ruthless in other areas.

Does anyone have a logical answer as to why the board are still around? In any other role you perform to the level they have and you are sacked.

I think the most likely answer is that Moshiri doesn’t have any better ideas.

If not this board, then who? He’s proven himself terrible at recruitment and decision making for a football club.

Maybe he recognises he’s incapable of effectively replacing the board, so he’s pressing on.

We need to tread carefully here as like you say we don't make the money to be a top club on our own so we need owners who can sponsor the club. That is absolutely not Moshiri's fault that we lost our main income revenues while he was here that would have totally messed up all financial plans that we would have had and is just further proof how the universe is aligned totally to try and stop us being successful.

The way I see it is Evertonians have a knack for thinking things can't get any worse from here (let's face it we forced most of the managers out looking for better), but if we bite the hand that feeds us, when it comes to selling Moshiri could royally screw us over to get his revenge. In theory Everton could have a couple of offers on the table when it finally gets to that stage, you might have one offering less than the others but who are prepared to spend heavily through sponsoring the club and that might take us forward. If he feels Evertonians have turned on him in a nasty/ungrateful way he could easily choose the slightly higher offer that doesn't come with such a rosy outlook. We need him to be benevolent to the very end and choose the right one, so people can protest but please do it in the correct way.

Spot on mate, that’s why I’ve said many times in here lately that changing the manager or even players to a certain extent will not change anything, why? Because we won’t get the best possible person at the best value for money. Again why? Because the people making these decisions haven’t got a clue. An example is Iwobi, he’s been great for for us the past 8 months and we are going to offer him a new contract! Have they forgot about the last 3 years where he was beyond shocking. We needed a new right back for at least 3 years, we started the season without a striker and then we finally get one (a Brighton reject who’s the complete opposite of the player DCL who want to build the team around) We’ve had players like Tosun and Delph creaming the living daylights out the club, with signing fees and wages just them 2 alone has probably cost us close to 50 mil with zero return on the pitch. We could go on and on. This is all on the decision makers at the club, it’s the most blatant failing business out there and yet our owner somehow can’t see it.

What player in recent years has gone on to bigger and better things in recent years where we’ve made a substantial profit from our investment??

I honestly believe Kenwright has a watertight contract when he sold to Moshiri that he will remain Chairman under his ownership.

This definitely is true; he always wanted “investment” because he wanted his fat little grubby hands on his train set.

I’m sure, over the years, there’s been plenty of interested parties in buyingud but have been put off by the need for the chairman to remain chairman

This is undoubtedly the case. It can only explain what's going on. It means there's no chance of Kenwright's removal and our problems will get worse. Only fan pressure can force Moshiri to sell to get this board out but it's going to have to be intense and consistent otherwise we could be worse off than Sunderland were.

To be honest, people say he caved etc and that the fans forced him to appoint lampard but that was of his own doing anyway by making it very publicly known that they were the only two options he was considering.

And god knows why he agreed to pay him 105k a week as I believe Lampard was only on 75k a week at Chelsea.

Spot on.

Trippier goes to Newcastle and has been amazing. We get Nathan Patterson who can’t even get into the Rangers team. Everything at the top seems wrong.
