Sounds like a tired, tired interview to me tinged with frustration, slowly been worn down. The connection seems to be depleting to me.

Not very complimentary of the fan base either, but Evertonians in particular have become very knee jerk since the expectation of a new owner arrivals has come it hasnt been our historic way, to be fair thats most of football these days.

It's an incredible attack by a man who's made all the worst decisions in the past 4 years.

If he'd done the right thing: hire a top CEO and then just put his feet up on his yacht we'd be in a far better position now than we are.

He's the architect of this mess, but he points the fingers at fans and managers.
 
So let's all take the mickey out of an Iranian speaking English on a subject that is much closer to our hearts than it is to his ability to fund our passion.

I don't know what he said that was not absolutely true, the fans are merciless if we go 2 games defeated, it is a difficult job (given the unspoken pressure from across the park) - not insignificant to say it was supposed to take up 5% of his time, not 95% - meaning it is not working as an investment yet.

Whilst you might not like the message, none of it was untrue. We have bought many international footballers that have not performed - this is not a bad squad, it is just playing badly and out of shape/passion. A decent manager should be able to make that squad tick better than it has. There is no better manager out there than Ancelotti.

FFS cut the guy some slack, today of all days, delivering new stadium planning application and bringing in a genuinely world class manager - "but he talks a bit funny" You guys, sheesh.

‘Attack.’

People hear what they want to hear, I guess.
 

I am often surprised at the reaction on here ,never as much as today though .They say "the truth hurts" and "don't bury your head in the sand ".
This guy is really trying and like every one of us he has made mistakes but he was wrong with the two losses comment -I have read players being slated before we have signed them, a player 19 years old being called rubbish and a player who has only played a few minutes called one of our best players -all this season .
Do we have a right to complain ? Of course but it his money ,his club and for that he is entitled to say a few harsh words ,especially if they are so right they hurt the feelings of the worst critics.
Time to have a long hard look at yourselves boys and see what you really want for xmas .

It certainly doesn't pull its punches on the fans.

The fans welcomed him in good faith, and they really have stayed off his back (incrediobly). Now he repays them by descibing them in terms that suggest we're irrational and need managing.

Cheeky get.

Okay.

I mean, your fundamentalist interpretations are insane to me, but you do you.

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.

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.

I listened to his interview. Actually thought he came across well.

There’s nothing wrong with a bit of honesty, and to be fair he’s right about the crowd not giving managers much time.

But I think the reason he actually said that was in relation to having an experienced manager that can deal with type of pressure. He said either just before or after that point that perhaps younger managers (Silva) couldn’t cope with same pressure.

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.

His made every mistake possible since he has been here.
Because of him we haven't had European football in 3 years.

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.
