I've been an Evertonian for decades and today was by far the most humiliating. In fact it's since Moshiri's arrival that I have, for the first time, regretted choosing to folllow EFC in childhood. I was proud how we did under Moyes considering the lack of finances. He did an outstanding job.
Then in 2016 Usmanov's proxy Moshiri arrived to herald a new era. He's put Alisher's money where his mouth is but implementation of the 'plan' has been a shambolic farce. Firstly and by far the most egregiously being too cowardly or naive to make an unpopular decision and put a Champs League winning manager in charge simply because he used to manage those lot. Paying through the teeth for the middling Koeman probably halved our chances of success.
Utterly baffling that businessmen would deliberately self sabotage like that.
Delivering a school teacher / small charity organiser as CEO instead of going out and getting our Daniel Levy. The list goes on and on. Usmanov / Moshiri seem to lack a basic understanding of the game. They believe that Silva failed because of a lack of experience and nearly landed us with that over the hill no mark Vitor because of it. Wrong. Silva's PL record suggests he's simply not very good.
They've now delivered a 60 something giant on massive wages and a very long contract. If he turns out like the first three they picked, and does a Pellegrini, we'll potentially be looking at the biggest payout in football history. I'm delighted we have someone of Carlo's stature but would you bet against that scenario?
Our owners have been amazingly successful in business but their bumbling buffoonery in the football world has helped to bring us to a new low today. Uncle Alisher may be rich enough to ultimately deliver a stadium but God knows where his atrocious decisions will lead us to on he pitch.
