General Meeting

[fandjango]

He's been involved in football for over a decade and thinks being "number 11" is the correct way to describe being "11th". I think that speaks to a lack of feel for the game at the very least.

But it was ok for Bobby to have a less than perfect grasp of English ???

How we forget the halcyon days of what came before, was it two or three transfer Windows, without buying a first team player. Also as I've said earlier, our greatest ever owner, Sir John Moore's, done exactly the same, gave us interest free loans, so what is wrong with Moshiri doing it.

Hes not even able to give us money, the rules are such that owners can only lend their clubs money, not give, thats why Chelsea owe Roman over 1bn in loans.

 

[roydo]

which he now holds rather than an outside institution, and that doesn't go away for the club - he either demands that debt he's taken on be repaid eventually or he converts that into shares

Chelsea "owe" their owner circa £1 Billion.

Absolutely nothing wrong with having ambition, but you need to back it up. Don't say you're going to be a doctor and then drop out of school, don't say you're going to lose 5 stone and then go to mcdonalds every day, don't say you're aiming to win the league and then sign mediocre players. Words are easy, actions are not. So far Moshiri has said a lot and done very little when it comes to our ambitions.
A bit disingenuous. Clearly the impression being given was that this was the aim in the not too distant future, and if our CEO was not aware that was the way it would be taken, she really doesn't know football fans at all.

While I agree to an extent, he has put an enormous amount of money into the club.

That money has not been spent wisely by others. So it's not like he hasn't tried.

I'm not excusing his bad decisions. But it's slightly disingenuous to summarise as 'saying a lot doing a little' when he's also put a lot in - but the results haven't been good enough.

If he was saying a lot and hadn't put a penny in, or hadn't helped us improve our commercial deals or take steps towards the ground, it'd be fair, but he has...

 

[mahermi1]

So he came in cleared the debts and instead of oweing the bank money we now owe moshiri even more money then the original debt he cleared.

Nice

Thank god FSG have given all that money to Liverpool eh, Havrey

 

[hktoffee]

Three years of turmoil on the pitch; three years talking about a new stadium.

If that's what you hoped for then your expectations have been met.

You call 7th and 8th turmoil and forgot the 2 years beforehand, 11th and 12th (time when sacking). That was worse than turmoil.

Our wage bill is currently 146m PA, but hey ho, why let facts get the way of a good agenda.

Well that was someone else's mistake, because they had 2018's figure at £104M pa when that it 2017's figure.

The point stands that both in terms of a sale of the century epic player trading period he inherited + a massive increase in tv revenue, Moshiri has had his hand free to simply buy up debt and further increase his control of the club.

 

[mahermi1]

Thought it was interest free loans, never meant gave, should have said converted.

When Moores did what he did it was in a very different environment.

Moshiri is not a player in terms of finances. Not a game changer. You'll see that more than ever now as he draws the club's horns in in terms of expenditure.

He said it himself Dave, we spent a vast fortune to go backwards, hes not hiding from that fact.

52m in managers comp alone, mistakes have been made.

He knew football terminology.

 

[davek]

He piled in enough money to make an earth shattering difference. There is no comparison between Moshiri's investment in Everton and Abramovic's in Chelsea.

 

[deipnosophist]

Also can’t take @deipnosophist seriously when he’s being serious.

I always enjoy your considered and thoughtful contributions Nymzee....seriously

 

[davek]

I call having 4 different managers in 2 and a half years turmoil.

He made us go backwards. He's been saying "we". No one else did it other than him. He hired the trumpets, he carries the can. But he wont.

Anyway, prepare for the lid to be put firmly back on the biscuit tin...starting with this month's inactivity....and your man Brands agreeing to oversee it all, with another million in his pay packet no doubt.
