Moshiri was satisfied that Silva was the man. It is here that naivety has bitten him if he believed that a formal approach would be entertained by Watford, let alone received discreetly.

Watford used all channels to resist a hostile approach. Silva’s willingness to discuss the job does not, for the time being at least, extend to him resigning at Vicarage Road. Even if he were to, he would be threatened with being blocked pending a court battle, during which he would find himself on gardening leave.

In his haste to approach Watford, it is unclear how many of Moshiri’s fellow board members knew what he was doing, or whether he had taken any advice from anyone in tune with the idiosyncrasies of the football business. Certainly there were some at his club who knew nothing of the bid for Silva until the news had been reported.

Inevitably, this presents Everton in a poor light, with Moshiri misguided in thinking that Queensberry rules are applicable in the dirty scraps of the Premier League.

Going into Sunday's trip to Southampton, supporters feel they are receiving more information on the managerial search by bookmakers slashing odds than from their own club.

Coming across as a clueless procrastinator...not ideal for a football club owner of a top team.
Let's just hope he gets the stadium right and doesn't relegate us before he sells up.
 

Moshiri is turning out to be a right charlatan. If he really wants to call the shots outright maybe he should get on the blower to uncle usmanov for a handout so he can buy the club outright.

You not think the fact Bascombe has his 'souces' high up amongst the old everton hierarchy has something to do with the slant of this article.

case in point here - this is about the failed stadium moves of the past in this very article.

This should have been a good week for Everton. Hopes for a new stadium, which have been a combination of the expensive, over-ambitious and downright unpalatable over 20 years, look more realistic than ever.

Where exactly does the Kings dock fall into that - a stadium that was torpedoed by Kenwright ultimately, expensive - far from it, over ambitious - again the contract at a amazingly cheap cost was there to be signed - so not over ambition when you have something offered to you. Unpalatable - far from it again - every fan i know wanted that move more than anything.


Would maybe read that article and think it was unbiased if it stated that Moshiri finally looked like getting the new ground that Kenwright had failed to do by incompetence, lying and by being more concerned with gaining and keeping power at the club than the actual future success and well being of that club.

But Bascombe won't write that because he's a Kenwright stooge, but by all means lap up these wave of anti Moshiri articles - without ever wondering why the likes of Joyce, Bascombe, McNulty, Hunter, never once questioned Kenwright, Vibrac, Earls involvement, the multiple failed ground moves, the genuine investment and purchase of the club by ambitious owners who Kenwright gave short shrift too as he wasn't willing to let go of the train set, or any other host of dodgy crap this club has pulled
