The Everton Board Thread

[peteblue]

The players he insisted on bringing in above people's heads that meant resources couldn't be allocated elsewhere probably didn't help, did they? Like i say, there's more than enough blame to go round.

I think he and the pieman brought in Tosun when we were in deep crap. Who are these other players that he brought in over the head of managers and the board…….

 

[peteblue]

How wasn’t it? He appointed Rafael Benitez which turbo-charged the slide. He also appointed Koeman simply because he’s a big name in football. He appointed Steve Walsh as DOF who was a PE teacher-turned-scout at Leicester. These were all his decisions.

And of course Bill and DBB violently opposed all of this and threatened to resign…and all the fans were totally against the Koeman and Walsh appointments too…..

What’s it got to do with the fans? He is the club owner, he should know better than the fans.

Kenwright should’ve been turfed out on day 1 of his ownership so you can’t hide behind that argument either, as if I’m somehow defending him. It’s not “Bill vs Moshiri, you must pick a side and defend it to the death” which is frankly a childish way of thinking. They are not opposing forces, they are on the same side. ALL of them need to be cleared out, including Moshiri.

Kenwright is the only common denominator. There was no talk of Moshiri meddling till after the bulk of his war-chest was spent on rubbish. His biggest mistake was leaving the serial failure in charge instead of appointing his own.... but that was probably part of the deal. He had to spend a fortune just to clear the debts he inherited, then left the same crowd that accrued them to spend his money. Disastrous decision.

Is right Tom.

I cant believe what I read on ere/twitter sometimes. Lets chase the fella who's invested £500m into the club & has single handely funded 80% of BMD being built.

Ungrateful so & so's.

Neither the manager or the DoF wanted Iwobi, Sigurdsson was supposedly his pick, can't see any explanation for El Ghazi other than his relationship with his agent, can't see anyone else in the setup going above and beyond for Theo Walcott and that's off the top of my head.

Your 7 year old brain’s logic says that Todd Boehly is a better owner than City’s owners so

You still don’t get it do you. No one is kicking the door down and bringing in billions to do a Man City For us. Moshiri provides what money we have for the team and the ground, he is still needed until some other mega rich owner comes along.… Bill, DBB, etc are ten a penny….

 

[Clarky cat]

The most damage to the club has occurred in the last few short years and Moshiri has been in charge in that time.

It never ceases to amaze me how Moshiri is getting away so lightly in all of this while a board which had very little power gets all the blame.

I have said it before the best decision Moshiri made for himself at Everton was keeping BK at the club.
Where were we in the table when Moshiri arrived?

If it was not for the new stadium which at the moment is the only real spark of hope for the club then Moshiri would have been the worst owner ever.

I can only hope MSP take a substantial stake in the operation of the club because it is hard to see how they could be worse than Moshiri/Usmanov.

Really? How come Usmanov‘s family Moshiri‘s mates jumped ship before this lot then? A board which wields no power yet continues to roll up to work knowing full well that the business is failing at every level imaginable yet doesn’t try and appoint actual business expertise to it… Graeme Sharp, he’s the man we need ffs.
A board with zero shame or accountability that still gushed over its “performance“ when they were rightfully chucked in the bin. The fault lies with all of them but Moshiri is the only one who is going to be financially worse off

Pete with the greatest respect, I think it’s you that doesn’t get it, so I’ll leave it there.

One thing to remember is that while Moshiri has made mistakes , where he to pull out tomorrow as many wish for , Everton wouldn’t last a season . This is not scaremongering or exaggeration but a factual comment based on the opinion of the accountants who did our last set of books.
MSP do not have the financial muscle to take the place of Moshiri , and I do not think they are interested in such a role.
The only people currently interested in investing in this club are two similarly sized American consortiums, or previously an extremely dodgy American estate agent and serial loan defaulter.
When Trevor Birch arrived and left in double quick time that should have signaled to everyone the damage that had and was being done to the club at that time.
Sadly significance of that event was largely ignored and the damage was allowed to continue.
Moshiri’s millions have not been enough to repair that damage , especially when those responsible for it were left in situ to continue their abhorrent stewardship of our club.
Our history had been squandered and our role diminished to the point of irrelevance.
And very few nation states or multi billionaire’s are interested in putting money into a club whose sole achievement for 30 years is to make up the numbers and whose main ambition has been to avoid relegation.

Iwobi is as good as any other player we have. Siggy was a good player and Moshiri cannot be held responsible for Manchester Police. Don’t remember anyone being up in arms over buying Walcott, were you?……

Forgot about this. Directly led to us signing Alli on a permanent and sucking more millions out of the club for no return for another two years.

Up in arms is maybe a bit strong... I thought at the time it was a stupid signing with no upside. Sigurdsson was crap: too slow for the Premier League, hid from the play and was nothing like as good with a dead ball as he was made out to be. Bit in bold... we paid 35 million quid for him and he is a bang average player. He was worse than that for 3 years.

I always had Dele down as a "and while you're here" whilst Bill was shopping Richarlison to Spurs after the PL told us we needed to sell somebody. Pure sentiment.

You say this yet you're the one who spends his entire life on an internet forum moaning about/slating individual's far more wealthy & successful than you'll ever hope to be.

Maybe turn the computer off, find employment and learn the ways of business as that way you may come to realise not everything is as simplistic/linear as it appears to be in mikeh72 world.

One of the main reasons I stuck you on egnore was you claimed Mike Ashley was a good football owner which makes your entire opinion on football ownership invalid (imo) as if you think that big galoot with 2 relegations on his CV is an owner we should inspire to have then I dont know what to tell you.

The last I time I click "show egnored content" as I really should know better than to hope that you change your ways for the better and start listening instead of shouting over everyone.
