Farhad Moshiri

[jamieni]

I blame everybody for accepting that Moshiri was in charge when is been blatantly obvious that it was Usmanov as soon as his money was stopped Moshiri had no access to money. PL should have been all over this, so should the fans but we all knew, we revelled in it for a while and this is the price

Well the invasion of Ukraine was kind of a curve ball on that one lol

Well that’s what did it, but everybody knew it was dodgy AF

Agreed lol

All the club needed when he took over was some competent executives, a few clever signings and a clearly defined plan and we would have been fine. We were a top 10 side and should have been able to progress gradually to be challenging for CL.

Instead he bought half a dozen number 10s, Michael Keane, and then proceeded to sack every manager in sight after 6 months lol

If you want a guide on how not to run a football club then he’s written it for you.

That infamous summer 2017 transfer window is what lead to our downfall. Our story under Moshiri has still yet to be completed though!

Hopefully we'll still be in the top flight after he sells the club. Not including caretaker managers, we've had seven managers in the last eight years since he fired Roberto Martinez.

Only became dodgy when the government decided it was. For years prior both parties and Londons financial institutes were only to happy for the Oligarchy to locate and spend their ill gotten gains in the UK.

We aren't the only club in the league to have dodgy owners though. Why should the FA/PL single us out?

Exactly. And they still tolerate money flooding in from autocratic states in the Middle East. Until they don’t and those clubs will be in the same position. It’s kind of force majeure really and highly dependent on geopolitics.

No that’s true Abramovich being the prime example, and look what happened there. But we spent so long claiming that Usmanov had nothing to do with us. That they’ve agreed, I don’t think Mosh actually has any of his own money

Fingers crossed mate. Hopefully one last positive twist in the tale!

Basically allowing oligarchs and the like games the gdp making us look richer than we are.
Truth is that international money like this is swills around in a circle that never trickles down. Assets are bought and left empty, fortunes are spent on art work, jewellery and the like, and money is spent across the world on private jetset homes. As non doms they aren’t even paying tax on their wealth.
Football clubs are a way for all of these to clean their money.
Chelsea were allowed a soft landing, we weren’t.
Russia now, but there are plenty of oppressive regimes owning clubs at the minute.
While I don’t agree with these owners, we are Victim of timing here.

Absolute bawbag. Apart from finally getting a new stadium sorted, he’s been a disaster.

It's almost like he's a bagman carrying the loot outside of Russia in case its real owner is denied access to any money outside of Russia in his own name.

Anyway, how much longer can the war go on and sanctions persist? Less time than it takes to pass 777?

Not 'Officially' lol

Sadly, This.

And that’s why we didn’t get the opportunity that Chelsea got

 

[Toffeepot]

He’s not going to lose anything at all if he gets his way with this 777 takeover. Anyway his own personal wealth has actually increased according to the Forbes list.

are you sure? That implies 777 are financing his past poor investments too. I'm not sure of actual figures here so you may be right
Overall wealth increasing in other areas sure, just Everton was the bad investment so far, has he been Everton that'd?
Definitely no carpetbagger though because his intentions were obviously good
