Everton have apparently spent around £500m on transfers in 5 years while Moshiri has been there. If I remember correctly when Abramovic took over at Chelsea, they were already in the CL and the FFP rules hadn’t been brought in yet - I think they came in partly because of his spending.
Abramovic also saw his investment in Chelsea as a way to move a lot of his assets out of Russia.
Ye that’s sort of my point.
For a club that’s not in the elite, to get into the elite requires probably 2-300 million in spending, something which isn’t allowed to happen.
Everton’s squad can’t complete, the type of player they need to sign they cannot afford, those they can afford haven’t got the quality to get them I got he top 4. Hahaha it’s beautiful isn’t it.
If they win it will their parade be tomorrow or Tuesday?
Arsenal and Inter has withdrawn from this tournament.
Remember when they played in that one game for a cup against I think a South Africa reserve side a few years ago and still lost on penalties.
Ye but since then they win the league in October.
Rafa has just won them their first trophy in 26 years 
Winning the League in October aside, the only major cup they will have an assured chance of hoisting is if there is a Losers Trophy competition where the loser is the “winner”. 
Arrrgh! Have I just been proven wrong? 
The social media is comedy gold.
Don’t think Ev’s problem is them not spending. Moshiri has spent good amount of money in the team. It’s just the changes in managers. Rafa will get 2-3 players in and dispose of some 5-6 players who won’t fit into his system.
Ev’s problem is just them being bitter cunts.
The stadium is being built by the City of Liverpool.
Rewarding the failures?
Reminds of a long time ago when I was in the military.
There was an upcoming promotion exercise for us junior ranks in our base but only one slated for our unit.
A few names were thrown up as favourites but it went to an absolute outsider; the laziest and least performing bum who was the blue eye boy & balls carrier of the Sergeant in charge.
Everybody demanded an explanation.
It was duly given that the most deserving were left out because they are their own motivation and and don’t need any reward but the bum was promoted to encourage him to be better. 
Sounds about right for the Bitters. 
Err… No it isn’t.
The Blues are no longer looking at a funding model with Liverpool City Council.
But the bulk of the money required will come in the form of ‘private debt’.
And the Blues will now ramp up talks with a clutch of financial institutions before choosing which lender to strike a deal with.
Everton are also to explore what grant funding may be available to them to help with enabling works but the vast majority of the half a billion pound project will come from lending, Moshiri
Moshiri and Usmanov would walk off if Ev don’t get Europa. I hope Rafa gets a nice severance package.
So realistically… what is success for them this season?
Can they break into the Europa League?
I really do think Rafa is going to target a trophy
They have a decent chance. I would think that us, Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs will finish in the first four (although I’d love it if the other three flopped completely!) but after that it’s wide open.
Leicester are a good team but nothing special and the two North London clubs are in transition (especially if Spurs sell Kane), so the Bitters won’t get many better chances of reaching Europe than this.
All very well targeting a trophy, but the truth is only one team can win each one and Everton are currently starting from behind 9 other teams.
Honestly at this point, finishing in 6th to 8th bracket and taking some points of us would be success for them.
As @Rambler has ably demonstrated, your assertion is incorrect.
Wishful thinking on your part I’m afraid. In December last year Blue Heaven Holdings Ltd (“Moshiri’s” investment vehicle) increased it’s holding in the blueshite to 92%.
I estimate that brought the total value of Usmanov’s Moshiri’s investment (by way of equity and loans) in the blueshite to a minimum of £535 million.
And, if the Echo article regarding the financing of the new stadium is correct, Moshiri is going to bung another £100 million at that.
So, I don’t care how rich you are, you just aren’t going to up and walk away from that sort of money.
Rafa will do a Rafa. He’ll be pragmatic, he’ll know that the only real shot at silverware will be the League Cup or FA Cup, and with favourable draws, and some rotation (inc leftfield starting line ups in the PL to save legs), he could surprise folk.
It would be kind of funny of Everton finally win something with Rafa in charge - especially for those Blues that are livid the reds legend is in charge.
