Farhad Moshiri

[Jamalio Danubio DiCanio]

Poor Farhad...Everton has chewed him up and spat him out.

What?!

It's all his own making. Or at least a lot of it is.

As the owner, he has the responsibility to put the right people in place so that the strategic oversight of the club is sound. Instead we've veered from one strategy and ideas to another. Steve Walsh and Koeman to Fat Sam to Marco Silva and Marcel Brands. This is all within about 3 years. In that time we've wasted 100's of millions.

Being a good owner isn't only about pumping money into a club. It's about getting the right people in place so that the club operates at an optimal level at all parts of the club. He's completely failed at this. Maybe Brands is the man to change the club and he's got things right this time. However, due to Moshiri's mistakes Brands is trying to turn things around with 1 arm tied behind his back.

We are going from one disaster to the next..

I am seriously worried it ends in a relegation next season.

This manager and these players will bring us that.

It's not like we will be making many if any signings this summer.

We are stuck with what we have got. Which simply isn't good enough.

We have been in relegation form since November.

The stadium will be binned off if we go down as the Investment hinges on us being a solid Premier league club.

Next season is huge.

Don't panic, we won't get relegated This season...Silva, like Ole Gunnar S, is now a 'caretaker' until the end of the season. Results will decide both fates.

Laughing at how split the poll is!

1 or 2 votes switch it around...good job its something important and not brexit.

 

[radiostar]

I think we now know why he wasn't allowed to do more than make the tea at Arsenal.

Carry on laughing or crying it makes no difference Moshiri is here and staying, get used to it.

Tapping up Arteta as we speak
Runs.

City would invade us with an army of high priced lawyers. Armed with real assault rifles plated with gold for no reason.

This..

Understand

I am enjoying your alliteration
Very Wendy Cope

This man needs to stop getting involved in Football related decisions, Tosun and now Silva it's just not acceptable.

what an odd industry. Imagine an owner buying Greggs but would be best advised to stay away from decisions on pastry.

Imagine the embarassment for this bulb head if Wolves and Watford either:

A. One won the FA Cup and the other finished 7th

Or

B. One of them won the FA Cup AND finished 7th.

What would that say of this so called project near 3 years in when one side was in the fizzy pop league last season with astute owners and the other a club we stole our manager from?

Hopefully hel want to sell up and go accounting again..

Still the best owner in our entire history, hope he sells up and we get Big Blue Bill back.

I know this is an odd thing to say about a very successful businessman but he strikes me as being rather uncomfortable and awkward in communicating. There are plenty of examples of successful people having a focussed determination to succeed allied with a tireless work ethic but poor “soft skills” such as inter-personal communication. He seems happier blending into the background or standing unmovingly and voicelessly in the darkest areas of the shadows of the more assertive peers that he seems to like to be surrounded by.

I question his willingness and confidence to manage individuals who are assertive and might challenge his authority. I think he’d much prefer working with more passive characters like RK, Silva and Brands (I’ve seen no evidence yet from him to suggest he doesn’t belong in this category). This would also explain his reluctance to engage directly with the fans and use a mouthpiece (White) instead - which is bizarre behaviour for a club owner. It would also explain the ham-fisted way he hired and then got rid of BFS. Mosh bent over all the way to BFS’s demands for a longer contract because he couldn’t play poker with him and clearly conveyed his desperation to get the manager in to save his club. Then couldn’t even have it out with him face to face to tell him he wasn’t good enough to stay at the club, and instead excused his actions by hiding behind a pathetic excuse of a fans’ survey.

Doesn’t bode well if there’s anything in this theory. I can’t see him hiring the strong leaders we need to really take the club forward.

Superb post.

Plus, the club as a whole will mirror its owner...

It's quite frightening thinking about it

Back?
He hasn't left yet and you want him back.

Q) How do you acquire £500M.
A) Start off with a £1Billion and buy Everton.

We have had worse squads , worse owners , worse league form , worse Cup runs , worse efforts ..... and yet I don't think I've ever felt worse about Everton !?
