Homepage Article Farhad Moshiri Interview

[chopper6]

It was poor, because of him we have had to sack managers twice because of the danger of being relegated.

Every interview he has since coming here he has come across as an absolute idiot who knows nothing about football.

I disagree.

Also if it wasn’t for this ‘idiot’ we wouldn’t have a new ground to look forward to or Ancelotti as our new manager.

Massive over action

It wasn't hard for him to succeed.

1)Buy the club
2)Appoint someone experienced to run the club,
3)hire a top manager and give him a warchest

 

[Neiler]

Yes, this was pretty much my interpretation also.

My immediate gut reaction was negative and slightly foreboding.

From Moshiri's perspective, it seems the Ancelotti appointment is rather like "I've tried Plan A, Plan B, and now Plan C, which is what you all want, and after this there is no plan. I won't know what to do next if this fails."

I'm actually very nervous about Ancelotti not because of his ability and record, but indeed because it's hard to see where we go if he turns out to be underwhelming. But we absolutely did the right thing in taking advantage of a uniquely rare opportunity here.

Hopefully it signals that bit of luck we needed at a pivotal time and he can turn the ship around.

Good post and i agree.

Hopefully Carlo does a job, i dont have the energy for another reboot.

Overall though you have to question the mans decision making ability and choices, even if he has good intentions.

Like you i think hes jumped from one end to the other end on the managerial spectrum, Koeman to Allardyce, Allardyce to Silva, Silva to Carlo. Its vey flip floppy, with no coherent concrete philosophy. Hopefully Anchelotti doesnt end in tears and we jump to another bright young thing, because the cycle is becoming predictable.

Hopefully we have just got lucky.

Lets not forget at this stage the above hiring and firing has cost the club North of 50 mill.

Not sure you can blame the fans on that, nor should he give the slightest flying F what fans think, you will never please everyone.

I don't personally think he said anything wrong, we are by nature a moaning bunch and definitely call out the players and management after 2 losses.

I am going to try and throw a positive spin on this, what do you think he was getting at when he said this?
"We dont have the financial base but the fans expectation is huge. I think this miss-match somehow needs to be resolved."
Thinking aloud here...….I will get my mate Usmanov to balance the cash against fans expectations????

 

[Tubey]

How horribly disappointing is that... wish he hadn't said anything.

 

[heatmeiser]

We’ve had managers from Wigan, Southampton, Watford

I wonder if, when he spoke those words, he realised what a monumental balls up he had made with those decisions.

 

[ADT]

Yes he could have been a bit more positive but quite frankly I'm sick of the club talking bollocks and he's saying it how it is. You'd be annoyed if 300 of your millions had been completely wasted as well

 

[Kever10]

Da hell? Is this some satirical article because these quotes are bizarre and insulting to the fans.

Its only insulting if you take it that way. I see absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. In many ways he was complimentary, but he is 100% right about our fans.

For instance, some are complaining that we have appointed Carlo Ancelotti and applied for planning permission on a new stadium on the same day.

Literally cannot win.

 

[Everton19]

In other words he didn’t wanna sack silva and he thought he was a good coach but unlucky..hes basically saying Everton fans are been too impatient we give up after 2 defeats.i agree with most of what he’s saying to be fair.get behind the team and manager stop giving up on them after 2 or 3 defeats.

 

[irishtony1878]

It wasn't hard for him to succeed.

1)Buy the club
2)Appoint someone experienced to run the club,
3)hire a top manager and give him a warchest

if it was that easy, we would have 20 clubs chasing the league title every year.

 

[Everton19]

I wonder if, when he spoke those words, he realised what a monumental balls up he had made with those decisions.

Martinez won the fa cup with Wigan.and spurs got poch from Southampton and look what he did with spurs.so it means nothing where the managers came from don’t be ridiculous

 

[Big_Duncs_Fod]

Hes not wrong though. Too many of our fans have this delusion that we are more than what we are at the minute. I mean someone on here mentioned we were English royalty not so long ago. Which we are no where near or haven't been for over 30 years.

I mean a lot of our fans haven't even seen us win a trophy and as soon as a manager hits a sticky patch they jump on the bandwagon about how the manager needs to go.

We've just appointed a world class manager but he will have a sticky patch but I wont be surprised if the same fans get on his back.

Moshiri has the luxury of not looking at the club with blue tinted glasses on and doesnt have a biased opinion.

 

[little elfin]

Go away, Moshiri.
Sell your shares to chinese and live your life happily lol

 

[davek]

The bloke presided over a set of circumstances that saw Sam Allardyce assisted by Sammy Lee in charge of our football club. Then he questions why the fans aren’t tolerant. Utterly amazing. He should be hiding behind the only good thing he’s done since being here which is appointing Ancelotti. The lot of them should be. DBB, Kenwright, Chong, Ryzantsev, get behind Carlo and shut up because clearly without him the lot of you haven’t got a clue.

Ancelotti knows his value in this situation, as you outline, and that's why he's getting top dollar out of them.

 

[davek]

All fair points, seems a bit off the wall calling out fans patience when you've sacked going on five managers in 2 and half years.

Its a bit worrying that the owner is taking to heart what the fans think and say and then reacting on those whims in my opinion.

No way to run a football club.

Hes essentially saying Silva was a great coach, terrible luck with injuries and VAR but the fans didnt like him, so he had to make a change.

WTF.

Koeman
Walsh
Allardyce
Silva

...all down to him.

It seems he believes that Ancelotti's appointment can draw a discrete veil over that and leave him looking like he's a rational man.
