"Everton is a very, very difficult job in football because you’re two home losses from being disowned by fans."
Although it's a stupid thing for him to say, he's not far off the mark with that.
Obviously he, his money and his words, have caused that situation, but that doesn't mean it isn't true.

That’s how I took it too. Who cares, we got Carlo calling the shots now.

Wow. Very frank words there from the owner.
It almost sounds as if, I dunno.. he's getting a bit pissed off with the fans?
'You keep making me sack managers, it's costing me a fortune'

No wonder Jim White has been all over him, he'll give him a soundbite every time he speaks.
Yeah, as I said in a follow-up, once you lose the fans its game over, think we all know that.
You just don't really say it.
His comments regarding losing Goodison are way off tbh. We get a bit restless like, but we've put up with some rubbish over the years. If fans seen effort and commitment from both players and managers, bad results are forgiven. It's quite difficult having worked your arse off all week, to watch millionaires seemingly not give a crap about something you hold dearly. It sucks the life out you.
His comments regarding fans expectations are spot on, and so they should have these expectations. We've only won the league 9 times, 4th most in the country like.

He's told the truth (apart from the fans fault bit about two games off sacking) ok maybe he should keep it to himself but nobody can truly argue with what he's said. On the finance I think he's talking about growing the commercial side of the club to match all other expectations within the club and not saying he's not putting any more cash in for Carlo.

I know its all just PR for fans to swallow, but i wouldn't describe Marco as 'unlucky' - its almost like Farhad is trying to save himself from that calamitous decision.
Also if Martinez, Koeman, Allardyce failed why give it to another 'inexperienced' manager like Silva?
With all that said - im just glad he got us Ancelotti.

The fella does not interview well at all. Read between the lines with the goodison fans comment, like some have mentioned he’s probably trying to be positive and say that the managers weren’t up to it and the fans demand win.
just come across like a bit of a dick, as per every interview he does

He's shown over his time here that he can be a bit of a fruitcake and spouts off without seemingly thinking sometimes ( Lukaku comments etc ) , but he's our fruitcake now, so I'm going to swerve any faux outrage and let him get on with getting a stadium built while we have an actual world class manager in charge.
Obviously if it all goes tits up some time in the future then I'll be at the front of the queue in the lynch mob.

I think to be fair he did say your are two home losses away from losing the fans in football, and not at Everton. Whilst I'm sure he is implying that to us and at Goodison, it's also relatively reflective of the majority of football clubs in the EPL.
A really odd statement of course, but, I'll give him a tiny bit of slack after just pulling off the carlo appointment.

Completely bizzare.. I don't agree with the fans malarkey. Yes people will moan but we went on that awful run last Christmas and Goodison was rocking the moment we put away Arsenal, United etc at the end of the season.
And what kind of idiot thinks they're going to pay £500m or so for a century old business that affects hundreds of thousands of people and only commit 5% of their time to it. Really doesn't endear himself.

I disagree, it’s all fine lines.
Koeman was decent first season and got us European football after 2 x 11th place finishes. Bad recruitment which led to bad form cost him his job, but I don’t remember anyone on here moaning when we were signing the Ajax captain, Keane, Pickford etc.
Nobody expected Silva to fall off a cliff like he did this season either. We all expected him to learn from his mistakes and after a strong finish to last season it looked like he had. He was unlucky with injuries and VAR decisions, that’s not even questionable.
it’s all very fine margins in football. We were trying to break into a higher place by buying established players from other clubs to help us get there, but it clearly wasn’t enough as all of a sudden every club in the league had money and could go and improve too and some of them improved better than we did.
He needs to shut up and sign the cheques

That's the line that I paid most attention too. It's an angle I'd never thought about before but it stands out as being an obvious and intelligent approach to our situation.
