Another example of many on GOT seeming to see a discussion as being purely one or the other: is there not a reasonable middle ground?
Personally, I think
@chicoazul has made a relatively fair opinion but maybe, for whatever reason, people are happy to easily dismiss it.
But the underlying principle of caution in these times isn't something to lambaste. Maybe his own recent actions aren't helping himself here.
However, that is in now way something that should discredit the Esk's optimism and the rather large snippets of information he's sharing with us.
If what we believe will happen is true, which I am reasonably confident will happen, then yes this may be a new age for the fortunes of our club.
That in itself should be heralded. Yet, I'm a person who believes in judging actions rather than words alone, as up to now it's simply heresy.
Under Moshiri we've appointed a relatively well-thought of manager in Koeman, signed Stekelenburg and planned an improved fascia of Goodison.
And once again that should be heralded. But personally, it's far too early to be making hugely bold comments of future success just yet.
We have yet to see the real fruits of Moshiri's labour through tangible developments in a new stadium, marquee signings and actual victories.
I think only as the summer progresses and then later into the season will we really get a taste of what we can actually expect under his ownership.
Right now let's smile at the positive but equally not get beyond ourselves: there's going to be a fair few stronger sides this year!
