Farhad Moshiri

this was back in the early 2000's when a decent player was 2m.

Fair enough, but the point is - we’re not in that era anymore.

Nowadays, unless you’re worth more than most countries GDP, you can’t bankroll player transfers in that manner.

got it massively wrong on Martinez though..

ZzzzZzzzz

what I'm saying is , Jordan was true to his word. he went in and transformed palace at the time with his cash.

we have someone at the helm saying this and not being true to his word. don't say [Poor language removed] you don't mean. it wont wash.

Players were moving for £30m back then mate. Granted, top end, but "decent" for £2m, I doubt.

Moshiri is the best thing that has happened to Everton in premier league history. If he is not here the reality would be Martinez in charge and Bill and Bob having us mortgaged to the eyeballs, a sell to loan transfer policy, and a sketch of a stadium on WHP that came from one of the kids at the school.

Instead we are currently closing in on what is every Evertonians dream stadium, we are now debt free, instead of borrowing from Philip Green in the Cayman Islands we have deals with the world’s largest banks. We’re talking about attracting the likes of Brands and Fonseca.

He’s made mistakes in his first 2 years no question, but at least with Moshiri at the helm we have the chance to get it right. If he’s not there we would have no aspiration whatsoever under Kenwright and Elstone.

I know you prefer the fairytale scenario where Moshiri spends £1bn on new players mate. Ain’t gonna happen though.

How come he lost it all then?

But why would we expect an Iranian investor to put himself in the position Jordan put himself in?

Rhetoric is all well and good, a new owner will always say he will give everything he has, but it people really expect him to throw stupid money at transfers and whittle away his personal wealth, it’s on them.

 

[Saint Domingo]

deluded you.

In what way? You’re arguing for Simon Jordan as an example of a good owner.

ZzzzZzzzz

You saying he didn't?? lollol HE STILL goes on about it.

Replied to the wrong message mate. Deleted it whilst you replied. Big apologies.
I was replying to @mellowblue - Martinez's biggest fan.

Money well spent. From Millwall.

Point remains, you make it sound like the early 2000's was a period where £35m invested into a club was a big deal.

the financial downturn ruined many people who had vested intrests in all sorts of business's, including football club owners.
