Leaving aside the ruin that Moshiri and Kenwright between them contrived to produce were it not for the former and his decision to purchase and develop BMD I really don't think we would be where we are today. I can imagine given his past performances that Moshiri may well have continued funding - albeit on a diminishing scale - the acquisition of no better than average players, replacing managers ad hoc fashion whilst just hoping things would get better before eventually pulling the plug and sending us into administration. The development of BMD is probably his and our Clubs saving grace because without it I am seriously doubtful we would have garnered much by way of purchase interest from anyone other than carpet bagger venture capitalists.

Of course, things are far from perfect but TFG will, hopefully, finally bring some acumen to the table both on and off the field and move us forward to being a more competitively run Club.

So for this alone I am grateful to Moshiri (and Usmanov, let's not forget) that he had the foresight to acquire and build our new stadium on such an iconic waterfront location where the prospect of future development initiatives and investment will levy greater interest and exposure for the Club.

Moshiri invested 450m and got 25m back according to reports... That's absolutely crazy losses

Absolutely nobody gets into owning sports teams to make money.

Onwards & upwards to mid table

I think most of us would settle for that for a couple of seasons.

An amazing birthday present, just for me!

You know we talk about 'Everton that' a lot but us surviving these past years by the skin of our arse and potentially coming out of it with competent owners and a brand new state of the art stadium is probably the most anti 'Everton That' moment I could think of.

Permission to feel a little optimism?

I like the tone of their statement and the fact we're seemingly on a more sound financial footing.

Come on you blues

Is Witsel ours now?

Onwards & upwards to mid table

“mid-table”……imagine being in those sunlit uplands with 80% of the season gone

My blood pressure would just love it,

I'm presuming Marc will be at the game on Sunday, will he be in regular attendance from now on do we think?

 

[royalblue66]

Is their any confirmation of what debts have gone and what are left?

The local Newcastle chronicle is rattled ha.

Pray tell.

Feels like a punishment role to force him to come to Goodison every time we play
