Homepage Article Farhad Moshiri Interview

[Bob Elstone]

There’s nothing wrong with what he said. People moan about anything. Without this bloke we’d still be scratching around for Loan deals for paul dickov.

 

[Lob]

He should never be allowed to do interviews regarding Everton, period. Came across protective towards his own very poor decisions and bitter towards the fan base. Always 2 home losses away from being disowned by the fans my ass. We have just endured Martinez, Koeman, Allardyce and Silva and in all instances (apart from the tosser Allardyce who he should never have hired in the first place) the supporters stuck with them and it was only towards the end and specifically when Everton left it far too long to get rid of them that the fanbase turned apathetic and turned on them.

Still doesn't understand football, the club or the fan base so just keep on giving us your money Farhad and keep your trap shut and all will be fine.

 

[Yarrgh]

He's a big ol' mad bag of voodoo our Mosh.

 

[The binman chronicles]

The expectations are if you spend the 3rd/4th/5th most money you expect to be closer to those positions than 17th.

If you are not then someone isn't up to the job.

 

[JLW]

Maybe if we accepted two home defeats gracefully then we would have Silva still in charge or re-appointed Moyes, so the fact is, he’s took notice and gone and got us Ancelotti!!

Played Farhad lad

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Yes some of the stuff he said was bizarre, but I was pleased to see his acknowledgement that you lose something if Evertonians aren't behind the team. He seems to be saying that he has been inspired by the passion he has seen recently.

Also pointing out that we need a top, experienced manager to deal with the job is good. You can say what you want about the guy, and he has done some mad things but he really has come through for us here in pushing for Carlo and not listening to the naysayers. By all accounts it was his desire and determination that got us Ancelotti when we would have been scrabbling around for Moyes or Howe. He really has shown ambition here, and whether it's a successful appointment or not, I truly applaud him for this.

 

[TrixyStevens]

The comment about investing heavily on players who are internationals would tell me that he wants Ancelotti to work with what he's got.

 

[arbok]

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.

Remember Koeman not even giving Niasse a locker even though he was part of the first team. His man management was horrible and he had favourites, and his tactics for some games was just horrible, by the end of it, you just knew Koeman couldn't recover and he was losing consistently.

Silva - if you have to rely on VAR to save your job, you can't really be that great. Even last year, after a good start, there was a good 3 month period where he could not win which should have sent alarm bells ringing.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

The fact he hoped it would only be 5% of his time is indicative of our lack of progression.

If he puts in the effort/time he will get the fruits of his hard work.

 

[Jim Hopper]

"Everton is a very, very difficult job in football because you’re two home losses from being disowned by fans."

Depends who we lose against. Losing at home to Sheffield United and joint bottom club Norwich City definitely requires questions asked.

 

[Wayno]

He’s right about the fans.

Premature booing and hissing has hindered our progress, I’ve yet to hear a good argument otherwise.

It’s frustrating but if people want to pay money and boo the players then that’s part of Everton.

Let’s not forget that John Stones and Ross Barkley left the club , and they both had issues with the fans behaviour.

I think it would be incredibly naive to ever assume that the players behind closed doors weren’t saying “these lot are hard work” because of course they will be.

 

[Benedict]

You would of thought he would of learned to keep his mouth shut by now, the next time he speaks i'm just gonna plug my ears.

"Everton is a very, very difficult job in football because you’re two home losses from being disowned by fans."

While he was ill advised to say that, he's also 100% correct.......

 

[Barry Rathbone]

Being in thrall of what the most vociferous fans think is a recipe for disaster a goodly amount are off their skulls far better to pick one out in the main stand and shout through a bull horn "SHUT IT SOFT LAD"

While he was ill advised to say that, he's also 100% correct.......

The bigger concern is that he probably wasn't advised at all. This is his own self-edited, pre-approved communication.

Christ knows what he's like behind closed doors.
