Dear Farhad,

I appreciate that a lot of money has been put into the club and we are making huge advances off the pitch. Thanks for that, I mean it.

We have bought in some really promising looking young talent like Calvert Lewin, Vlasic, Lookman, Sandro, Pickford, Keane. We still have some of our own gems to bring through like Davies, Kenny, Holgate, Walsh, Dowell and Connolly to name a few.

We have also bought in some more experience guys like Schneiderlin, Gana, Klaasen, Rooney and Sigurdsson. We could do with a class striker but we are building, I get it.

There is the makings of really special team here with a bit more of exactly this type of building.

The problem is that nearly all our players look rubbish at the moment, including ones that we know are proven quality. Our players need confidence and they need a proven game plan that they can commit to. We do not have one. The confidence that they need is not being transmitted from Ronald Koeman. The way in which Niasse and probably Barkley have been treated has not helped matters and probably has not helped the relationship between management and playing staff.

Having a manager who will be accepted by the fans, the players and the kids coming through and who knows our club and has a proven track record of setting up a team to play offense minded, Everton football will add millions to the value of our main resource, our players.

I mention this because as an accountant, you know the importance of protecting the value of your revenue generating assets. This value is being horribly exposed at the moment. Sigurdsson looks shorn of confidence and we would do will to take a 15 million pound haircut on him if we had to move him on, for example.

There is a manager available who will restore confidence and the feel good factor and he will be as cheap as you are going to find.

His players love him. They die on the pitch for him. He sets up a team that plays the Everton way. The fans will get the tingle back walking up to Goodison on match day. He is one of us. You wont need to sell him the project, he will sell it to you.

I think it is time we thanked Ronald for all his good work and appointed David Unsworth, at least until the end of the season. You will then be in a good position to decide who you want to run with long term, safe in the knowledge that your players valuation will be high.

Continued good luck in business and football and thanks again,

If there was an in-between being pleased and disappointed, I would have voted thus, although I'm veering towards a feeling of being underwhelmed with him 18 months on. The gargantuan expectations which we saw initially were never going to be delivered for a man of his relatively modest personal wealth.

Still think if he delivers BMD his time here will be a success regardless, and everything hinges on that. I don't really think he is being hampered by BK/RE although it would still represent a clean break to have his own board, but I don't get the impression of him asserting his will on the day-today running of the club, whether or not he will in time remains to be seen.

Sorting the stadium, increasing our commercial exposure and revenue year on year, and making us as efficient in business operations from top to bottom as we can be are his key challenges for me. They are all work in progress.

He can't be held responsible for any perceived cock-ups with transfer policy and whether or not people judge that we have bought badly. It will be interesting to see though if his tolerance for mediocrity and under-achievement will be as generous as Kenwrights. Unfortunately I suspect it might be.

The key problem at the club at the moment is that there is no clearly defined boss / Mr. Big. I know Moshiri is hampered somewhat until he can exercise his additional options, but this lack of leadership off-field and on it, is costing us dearly.
 
Moshiri and those he employed to carry out our transfer business are more to blame for this than Koeman, for me.

Failed bids for marquee signings don't win anyone any points.

The summer window of 2016 was a car crash. This summer, in my opinion, despite very promising business in other areas, was every bit as bad overall, as we surpassed ourselves spectacularly by failing to replace the best striker we've had since Lineker despite receiving £75-90m for his sale.

It's laughably bad.
 

Not his fault. But he must be thinking what he has got himself into.
Show some DUTCH courage and remove the windmill waving , clog wearing fraud before it is too late
 

I really hoped when this guy arrived we would breakaway from the mediocrity that has enveloped the club for the last 25 so years .when kenwright woods and elstone still sit on the board and have the main say on football matters then nothing has changed .
If our aspirations are to be serious challengers to the top four teams then moshiri has to bite the bullet and get rid of koeman but I'm not sure he will .
