Player Valuation: £35m
Moshiri is a brainbox, he has the full list of urgent things that need doing, in his head and in the right order and he is on every one of them, ticking them off and planning the rest.
so koeman is not going to be confirmed tonight then lads:
Best to wait till tomorrow or Monday to announce it....Ali is the only sporting story getting any media attention today...
Skybet today went from 1/10 to 1/20.lol Now, if Moshiri put £200m on it, that's £10m more in the transfer kitty!
When Man City was bourght by Mansour in August 08- in his first season in charge, the transfers was of a similar supposed budget Moshiri has in place:

Jo CSKA Mosc. £18,000,000 02 Jul, 2008
Tal Ben-Haim Chelsea Signed 30 Jul, 2008
Vincent Kompany Hamburg £6,000,000 22 Aug, 2008
Shaun Wright-Phillips Chelsea £9,000,000 28 Aug, 2008
Glauber Berti Nuremberg Free 31 Aug, 2008
Pablo Zabaleta Espanyol £6,450,000 31 Aug, 2008
Robinho Real Madrid £32,500,000 01 Sep, 2008
Wayne Bridge Chelsea £12,000,000 03 Jan, 2009

Nigel de Jong Hamburg £18,000,000 21 Jan, 2009
Shay Given Newcastle £5,900,000 01 Feb, 2009
Total: £121,850,000
Some decent signings there
Zab, Kompany, Bellamy, Given, De Jong and Robinho
As someone with no expertise in football business it certainly seems to me that Moshiri alone will not be able to finance us to the level we need to compete with the elite.
We will be a hugely more attractive proposition for additional investment if we can win silverware, grow commercially and get a new stadium, which is effectively the mandate Moshiri has already given himself.
In one sense the amateur and short-sighted way the club has been run for 25+ years at least means that our potential for growth and development must surely rank amongst the best in the Premier League. We are almost starting from a blank canvas but with great history and a terrific fan base behind us in the richest league in the world.
I would like to see Moshiri here for a very very long time.This is his project, hopefully his passion now, and if we can benefit in future from additional outside investment, we would get the best of both worlds.
Surely if Usmanov wanted to invest in Everton, both he and Moshiri could have disposed of their Arsenal shareholding simultaneously?
I would welcome anyone coming on board to work with Moshiri, be it through taking a stake or anyone he can attract to joining the board or become part of the executive management.
We are ripe for significant improvement on all levels and before Martinez wreaked havoc, managed to stay in the top six on meagre resources with no stated ambition.
We have committed, forward-looking, and ambitious leadership now. We can and should be able to do much,much better now.
Its who could we attract- city have spent 30mil+ on Mangala and ottamendi
Kompany cost 6, I believe solid scouts and good players over just lets get everyone is needed

In the space of a few years they were competing- would we attract players of this quality
@micknick, can I have an Ip check here.
You do know that City didnt have FFP rules to contend with? And currently destroy our turnover.
Stop comparing us to City.
First comparision to city, all I trying to say is that ino a lot of money has been spent and the success wasn't instant-we mustn't just spend it all on unneeded players
And there you are saying we should buy unneeded players from Southampton.
