Farhad Moshiri

There's a mod outing to the game tomorrow. To be honest, I'm half expecting @The Esk to be paraded on the pitch lol They could probably do a lot worse to be fair.

@The Esk would probably do a better job up front than our team.

I have complete confidence in him.

The bloke next to Moshiri is Amanda Holden's husband, Chris Hughes. No idea why he would be pally with him...

I think people see Moshiri next to anyone put 2+2 together and make 50.

He only has to say hello to someone for people to get the wrong idea.

So a venture capital investor as well as working in the legal profession.

He's a man of many hidden talents.

Just a shame they remain hidden from the content of his posts.

There is no such thing as a proxy director as a proxy is to all intents and purposes a very limited power of attorney. (Proxies may be given with regards to votes etc). Even in offshore jurisdictions, nominee directors exist but not proxies.

You're UK resident and domiciled so your tax bill is on worldwide income - you may get DTR if applicable, but your income is taxable in the UK.

I'll pipe down when you desist from talking rubbish - simple as.

You both but particularly 'hibbosclass' are absolutely clueless.

Yes you are correct I am of many talents. Having actually done the very things I'm describing here.

The act of delegation is a legal act. By contract. Moshiri will likely have a management consultant contract with his proxy via a non-UK legal entity. A standard arrangement. It's the service contract that governs the ability to act as a proxy between both parties. The legal entity that the proxy is contracted to is employed by Moshiri. It's very standard for consultancy services across jurisdictions. I know because I've done this myself across Europe.

Not sure, but I believe he's a multi-billionaire with a dog called Messi, if you know what I mean.

@Bruce Wayne I await my thread-ban for what I am about to say, but being called clueless by this cockwaffle spouting person who has been shot down so many times it's embarrassing, is the limit.

@bizzaro you are without doubt the most idiotic poster on any matters legal or otherwise connected to business on this thread. Not only do you talk rubbish, even when you are proven to be wrong, you persevere which is either narcissism or stupidity.

Your sycophancy regarding the esk is cringe-worthy - I respect the him, but I will challenge him if I believe him to be incorrect or debate sensibly if I have a different stance.

by the way, you cannot have a proxy director, a director and all the attendant responsibilities are vested in the person appointed to the office.

I don't have to make claims or justify myself in any way, but in 30 years of accountancy, on-shore and offshore, I have never come across anyone who is in business but is so consistently and catastrophically wrong.

For what it's worth, I've enjoyed reading through the last few pages because there's been an interesting discussion of the finer points of running a business such as Everton. I'm sure we have a whole load of talents on GOT that can contribute in this kind of way.

Might I suggest that if there are folks whose opinions or posts rub you up the wrong way, you make liberal use of the ignore function. That's kind of what it's there for. It would be a real shame if what's been a really nice discussion descended into name calling.

You fellas are all smart blokes, so I don't think this needs any further discussion in here. Lets get back to discussing the club, and if you'd like to talk more about this issue I'm happy to do so privately.

Without wanting to get involved in this little squabble, I'd just like to say that I work in tax (albeit only since I left uni last summer) and just finished my tax exams last week, and can back you on what you said previously regarding domicile and tax of overseas income etc.

You were completely correct, and also, you are quite right in not being allowed a proxy director. Or maybe my textbooks are all wrong and I can look forward to plenty of fails when my results come out? lol

Hi mate. Serious question - if SwissRamble uses different criteria to the published accounts, how skewed will his figures be for all clubs mentioned?

Unwind Kitbag, fair enough I understand the reasoning. The questions I would ask are:-

How long will it take to put the infrastructure for both the (worldwide?) retail and internet based sales (including distribution networks) at the best possible rates. I realise that this won't take 2 years, but could it be done seamlessly mid season? I have no experience whatsoever in retail.

Do we currently have anyone/a team at the club who is capable of the above - if not, how long to recruit

The CEO thing is obviously linked to the above, so is it your feeling that R E being appointed to the board is a short-term measure, or will he relinquish his CEO status and remain on the board.

Really not being an awkward sod here, but genuinely curious.

Sorry it's taken so long to answer. I've send SwissRamble a message on twitter, will get back to you when he answers.

Re Kitbag, I would have thought the existing arrangements will stay in place for most of next season. I've no idea as to the release clauses and conditions attached. 6 months would also be the absolute minimum required to set up a retail operation and if we are recruiting externally perhaps longer, say 9 months.

The scope of the retail operation? Local, and national - getting stock into existing retailers, and internationally - tieing up with sponsors and regional distributors backed by marketing.

My point is the sooner we start doing this ourselves the greater the chance of at least catching up partially with our competitors, in terms of branding, visibility and availability of stock nationally and internationally.

If we were to get Jose as manager then our global profile will explode, we must be in position as soon as possible to take advantage of this - our existing arrangements would be totally unsuitable as I'm sure you are aware.

With regards to RE it should be remembered that he has been a board member for some time before his appointment as a director.

It's for Mr Moshiri to decide whether he is the suitable person to drive the business, the stadium and other infrastructure matters forward. I'm not sure his CV or achievements to date would stand against strong candidates externally. Personally I think it is only a matter of time before he is released as CEO. As and when I do not expect him to continue on the board. I stress the above is only my opinion.

As I said in my front page piece, RE is not the only executive who in my opinion needs replacing if we are to advance as quickly and effectively as we should.

It's clear that there are going to be structural changes in the management of the business, and that usually leads quickly to personnel changes in my experience.

No mate he's British and he is a music producer by profession.

This is why I am for Frank De Boer. Not only could he be the next Mourinho, he has that pedigree about him and has earned his stripes. I always said there was no point sacking Martinez 3/4 months ago unless we got somebody like Mourinho in, but if that doesn't happen, De Boer surely is the next best thing. I hope we don't miss out on both.

cheers...I didn't think he looked very Russian.
