Everton: Robbie Fowler tears Farhad Moshiri to shreds in newspaper column
Robbie Fowler has brutally criticized the Everton majority shareholder, Farhad Moshiri, by saying he has taken some “crazy” decisions in recent years while signing both players and managers.
The Toffees are fighting to avoid relegation in the Premier League but Fowler believes that “organisation” is key for survival under Sean Dyche, while writing his column for the Sunday Mirror (page 75, 12 February).
Fowler shares that Moshiri doesn’t seem to get along well with the Toffees’ fan base and that he never really understood the plans of the previous managers.

“There has been a lot of talk about mismanagement at the boardroom level and even more talk about some of the crazy decisions made by owner Farhad Moshiri (below) in signing both players and managers,” wrote Fowler.
“And I think questions have to be asked about Moshiri – he doesn’t seem to get the Goodison fan base at all.
“But the bottom line is that this team is good enough to have brushed the Premier League leaders aside. And they deserved to win – created the better chances, played the more compelling football and looked the more organised.
“That’s the key. Organisation. I have to say, for maybe the past two years I’ve looked at Everton teams and wondered what exactly the managers were trying to do. I never really understood the plan. And I suspect the players didn’t, either.”
Spot on
Moshiri is one of the major culprits why the Toffees are in this current mess today.
There is no doubt that he did spend a lot of money in buying players and appointing managers, but the signings haven’t been good enough.
They have made some poor signings, and now the club is being forced to sell their assets to bring in new players.
Last summer, the Toffees sold Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur, and they offloaded another promising talent in Anthony Gordon in the January window.

This can’t go on. If the club suffer relegation, they might have to sell Jordan Pickford and Dominic Calvert-Lewin as well. Or even if they narrowly survive relegation, they could be forced to sell either of them next summer.
Dyche has made a strong impression already after the Toffees finally secured a 1-0 win against Arsenal in the Premier League, ending their nightmare spell of eight matches without a win.
They face Liverpool at Anfield on Monday night (13 February) in the Merseyside derby clash and Dyche will be expecting a positive result.
