Homepage Article Farhad Moshiri Interview

[davek]

Listening to today’s ancelotti press conference I doubt it. Seems like brands has conned him into finding ‘obscure talent’ from across the globe.

I hope not. Ancelotti needs to sweep clean here or it's all a bit pointless.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

It wouldn't be ideal, to say the least. However, I think we'd have been better governed than we are now....and that's not a case I need to argue too forcefully given our finishing positions under Kenwright and those under the carpetbagger.

Better governed? They nearly took us to a cow shed in Kirkby. The way we've have been governed the last 20 years is the reason we've lost our seat at the top table. Dave am not quite sure if you mean this or are playing devils advocate,but even you can't believe what you are saying?

 

[Goat]

Selective choice of data.

The average finishing position under Kewnright in the his last decade in charge was 7th. The 4 seasons under Moshiri is likely to be an average of 9th or 10th. Appalling given the difference in levels of spending.

We achieve much less with much more spent under Moshiri. As said: a disaster.

Yep, thats me actually done.

You have just predicted 7 whole seasons in advance based on nothing whatsoever.

Im done, good night.

They will still play the need to get wages out before signing players card.

He needs to be backed but will be a half arsed attempt.

 

[wainy]

He's a disaster. A catastrophe of club governance.

We'd even have been better off if Kenwright had stayed on and handed the incoming massive hike in tv revenue to the manager and the cash from selling Lukaku.

He's been the ultimate meddler and it's set us back a decade. But you know that, so you choose to throw his 'massive investment' into the fray in order to deflect from those facts.

Absolute hyperbole. As if keeping kenwright in charge would have been better in any way, shape or form. Billy Liar for Christ sake, the man who is responsible for where we are today, make no mistake about that. His lies and determination to hold on to the train set have meant we have gone from one of the “big 5” to “plucky little everton” and we should never forget that.

 

[Berenger]

Generally he is right. The bit I think he's not right on is that the expectations are mismatched. If anything, the mismatch is that our on-field performance has been below par for our financial resource; not that we expect too much from it. Everton fans are generally dreaming of the stars but aiming for the moon; challenging for Europe with the chance of something higher and some good cup runs -- which is where our budget says we should be -- is enough right now. Even if we talk ambitiously at times, in general I think we all recognise where our finance puts us on a European scale: outside the CL places but challenging. But the fact is that we've underperformed every single season, possibly apart from Koeman's first, and have never really been in the hunt for anything.

The rest was quite revelatory. The club has this outsized obsession with PR and what the fans think. Nothing on football strategy and how he fits the vision or this specific group of players. Hopefully Brands has had that input. And the fact that he only wanted to put 5% of his time into a near billion pound investment must be garbage.

Think you're right about Expectations,he can't have his cake and eat it on that one.

 

[ProZ]

Good owners should be seen and not heard.

Similar to a good army General or so the story goes.

 

[ProZ]

Does he now?

Hes invested 250m into the footballing side and 150m in shares.

Its all in our accounts, feel free to prove me wrong, otherwise I suggest you shut up.

oooower

The better Army Generals that I know are seen and heard.

 

[Jebus_lives]

I hope not. Ancelotti needs to sweep clean here or it's all a bit pointless.

The hope would be that Ancelloti uses his status to bring in known talent and Brands can do the job of looking for youth and trying to strengthen that link between the u23s and the first team.

 

[Jebus_lives]

He's spot on.
Anyone offended by what he's said is probably part of the aforementioned fans.

Crybabies.
Delusional.

I think he has a point. I also think the fans might have a point when pointing out that for the money spent since his arrival Everton have at best stagnated.

We have recruited particularly badly in comparison to clubs we want to emulate and surpass.

 

[blue1948]

Hes a British citizen mate.

Can we leave the Racial slurs for the Kop please?

I gave you a like in principle ,my problem is that being "called "an Iranian is actually far better than being called Radiostar ,I mean who would ?

But the fact that what you say about Kenwright is all true, and yet I'm also right that him remaining in control and handing over the extra tv cash to a manager he'd recruited would have given us a better base than the one we now stand on is uttlerly damning for Moshiri.

 

[davek]

An expensively paid job for such a narrow remit.

He has to go. His model is dead and we now have a manager with no use for him.
