re: Everton 2015/2016 Season long thread: Chelsea, you can't have Stones

The announcement that Farhad Moshiri is to be Everton's new major shareholder ends a decade-long search for investment by chairman Bill Kenwright. Moshiri has bought a 49.9% stake in the club and has promised new investment - which indicates there may be even further new arrivals in the Goodison Park boardroom in the months ahead. Kenwright has consistently stated he would step aside if the right investor could be found and believes he has found the "perfect partner" in the 60-year-old billionaire who sold his 15% share in Arsenal to his business associate Alisher Usmanov for around £200m on Friday.
For Moshiri's part, it means he can now exert the power and influence his money could never buy at Arsenal, where he and Usmanov could not wrest control from majority shareholder Stan Kroenke. There will be some major items on the new Everton owner's agenda when he settles to his task, namely the next move on whether the club moves ground or considers redeveloping Goodison Park - and also how to keep the club's most coveted players, with top scorer Romelu Lukaku and England pair John Stones and Ross Barkley expected to attract serious interest this summer. For Everton, however, they will hope Moshiri's arrival will finally provide them with the financial power they have lacked to threaten the elite at the top of the Premier League.

I'm still trying to figure it all out. Without a doubt we now have a greater chance of keeping Rom, Ross, and Stones.

It all seems like a good deal thus far. Everton won't be giants because of this buyout but we shouldn't get left behind either, and maybe can be a little more consistent with the champions league chase with more financially stable ownership and (hopefully) a resolution to the stadium issue

What do y'all guys know about him? I know a lot of people were frustrated with ownership. Is this a good move?
Great move IMO. By all accounts, he was a quiet shareholder at Arsenal and is very business savvy. He absolutely reamed Kroenke and the board for certain financial driven moves (selling off players like RvP).
As a Padres fan, I did not want to go through another John Jay Moores ownership roller coaster. Really preferred that no American bought the club unless the SKC group were involved. Those guys really take care of their supporters and build their squad for success.
Glad it turned out the way it did though.

He's an accountant, worked for EY etc., hopefully that means he's not gonna be reckless with things, investment is great but it's gotta be smart.
This is all going on the assumption that accountants are generally financially savvy and more conservative, but most accountants arent billionaires so who knows ultimately

U21s play today on NBCSN if anyone is interested. I believe it's at 1:45CT.

A source recently told ProSoccerTalk that senior players among the Everton dressing room have lost faith in Martinez’s tactics and deem the Spaniard as naive, while another source claims he is not the flavor of the month with the top young talents at the club either. All of that, coupled with recent poor results on the pitch and the promise of significant investment from British-Iranian businessman Farhad Moshiri — who became the new majority shareholder at Everton last week which could see him pump millions into the club — make Martinez’s future an increasingly uncertain one. Locals at Goodison claim that current fan unrest towards a manager is the highest its been in decades.

I like the idea of Martinez as manager, I just don't like the results
Posted on 3/9/16 at 4:59 pm to AirRaidTT
Any chance we could get say, Mourinho this summer? Probably would depend on how much money Moshiri is really pumping in I suppose...

Mourinho would be a very bad fit at Everton. Not that he would consider it anyways.
The new boss is going to have to be someone who understands the Everton way of doing things (i.e. building up from the academy). Eddie Howe might be a good option. He's an Evertonian and he's a top coach who gets the most of his players.

Agreed. He's a likable guy, just not getting it done on the field

I get what you are saying a out Mou being a bad fit, but OTOH supporters want Everton to achieve like the big club they are (were?). So maybe Mou isn't the guy, but you also don't go hire another unproven manager if you want to be a big club. I know Ranieri has his detractors, and this season is probably a flash in the pan, but if Leicester can get a manager who has been at clubs with massive budgets and expectations, taken them to champions league, and so on, surely Everton can do better than some upstart.
Of course you never know when that upstart will be Ferguson, or Clough or whatever, but times have changed. Hiring a manager with clout signals to players and supporters that you demand top 4, signing Eddie Howe says you are going to roll the dice and won't be disappointed with mid table.
