The Ambition/Direction of our club

[degsy]

The next few week is going to be telling as to what ambition and direction Mosheri wants this club to go in.

SHOW SOME AMBITION

AMBITION?
YOU CANT HANDLE AMBITION.

All I want is winning football, gimme 25 wins a season and the rest...the stadium etc, even the draws and losses, will follow on behind, like a benny hill sketch

AMBITION?

Hindsight is great but the continuance of the "49% takeover" by Moshiri has just led to two camps inside the club with two viewpoints on everything and the result is the mish-mash we've seen.

Having too many cooks not only leads to errors in decision making, it impedes transparency and accountability for performance.

This is encapulsated in the roles of Elstone and Walsh. There is one school of thought that labels both men as mere pen-pushers, who can't really be held responsible for our current state, as neither wields any real power, and the opposite theory that both go off in different tangents with no joined-up decision making.

I don't actually think a lack of ambition is at the core of our problems - but we absolutely do not have a structure that is designed to build a successful club and team. We don't have it now, and didn't have it when Moyes had us on the cusp of the top four and we could have pushed on. We didn't have it after the relative successes of the 80s and thus were left behind after the inception of the PL.

We need people of calibre in all roles and a plan that moves the whole club forward as a unit - Spurs are that club. They have made their own mistakes and learned from them, and don't spend a huge amount in net terms. The difference is that they have a top-class executive and management structure that gets most of the key decisions right. We have the exact opposite.

IMO this is our issues in a nutshell - great post mate

Ambition/Direction of the club?

Very simple to me - retain Allardyce as manager for term of his contract - no ambition no direction!

Announce Allardyce is gone or going within 24 hours of the last game of the season, then immediately appoint Emery, Fonseca (dreaming I know!) , or much more likely Silva without any delays. Back whoever it is in getting rid of the dead wood from the squad, back him in the summer transfer window - signs of starting to show ambition/direction!

Then in an ideal world prove to us 100% that Bramley Moore is actually going to happen and literally everything is in place including all the necessary finance - and I'd actually start to believe we were showing some real ambition and direction!

As I’ve said plenty of times before and this is echoing other posters views
Moshiri needs to sack / put out to grass
FSA and coaches including Ferguson
Walsh
Kenwright Elstone Woods and anyone else on the board not deemed professional enough
Sack the whole commercial team
Then appoint
A CEO with experience of getting big builds done on time and on budget
This should be his only remit
A new CEO/ Chairman to run the football side of the club , someone of the Calibre of Dein , Gill ,Levy
A new commercial director to improve our current revenue stream and explore new ones
A new DOF
A new manager and coaching team.
Then back the new DOF and Manager financially and let them gut the squad as they see fit with no interference, even if the players are family
Finally I don’t give a flying monkey if any of the new appointees GET Everton as long as they do their job properly
There are hundreds of thousands of fans who GET Everton , that should be enough people to get Everton
Over to you Moshiri , make it so

As the RS are 'parading' their 6th Champions League trophy through the city.

Everton will issue a 'major' announcement on the new stadium.

Purchased from B+Q for £1.50.

Moshiri has ambition but no one else at the club does

Direction = down unless that fat blob goes

Wasted an entire generation saying "what if" Moyes had 2 or 3 more quality players added to the team. Then came Roberto "I turned down Liverpool for you" Martinez. And now to rock bottom with allardyce as manager.

The owners now have to get a proven manager and spend big.
There's no time to wait another 5 years while gradually improving the squad.

The other problem is most of the old guard who witnessed the glory days are either retired or close to retiring. A game is an excuse to get out the house for them. And the next generation have never seen a trophy won so it's basically the norm as far as their concerned. Hence why no one gives a **** and people continue to renew there season tickets.

The man in control of the club sets the pace and tone. If a club has a good one they are half way there. We have a spanner. He's proven in two years that he's not a man who gets the industry or our club and he can't delegate that to a strong CEO...hence the fixation on another DoF - because a viable industry savvy CEO would demand full control and that wouldn't suit a meddling amateur like Moshiri.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I doubt our ambition is there at all. I don't expect much to change because I don't back Moshiri to make the right footballing appointments.

But enough of this Wolves nonsense. The no marks have spent the last 20 years in the doldrums and are giving it the big one. If we want Wilshere and they want Wilshere, or anyone, then we get them. The footballing hierarchy and all that.

Oh God, well hey, at least your all in the same thread lads.

Have fun.

@micknick, why you suck?

And those bleeding tea ladies.......

They’re serving gravy only on the canteen

Set fire to the club and finch farm.
