Iranian Businessman buys 77.2% share in Everton

[Nokhodi]

Argentinians know how to play football. Iranians don’t. Argentina just won World Cup, Iran’s best talent is a baker in Germany. Should I continue?

Yeah, but it's Everton!

Agreed

Hope the douche billionaire makes a huge net loss financially. These good for nothing iranians can go buy some overhyped argentinians and relegate for all we care

I read Jahm Najafi is a big fan of Mehdi Taremi and use to praise him when he played for Persepolis. That is what some Iranian football IG channels have been saying, don't know if it's true. Him and Park would be killer up front, with Harry Kane rumoured to be leaving this summer.

I honestly can’t even find one thing that Jahm Najafi has said about Iran, from any aspect. Sounds like he’s another super assimilated Iranian in the US. A simplified first name, white American wife, living in phoenix. I’d be surprised if he knew how to say hello anymore.

[Nokhodi]

I can't see Taremi at Spurs because of the club's history and nickname - can you imagine him playing with the star of david around the stadium and how IR media will cover that?

Why are so many iranian-american billionaires interested in football? Or is it just a case that there are so many iranian-american billionaires around and they don't know what to do with their money?

Mahdavikia was supposed to got to Tottenham but they got outbid by Bochum. Lol.

agree though. The club is heavily associated with The Jewish community and there is too much room for misunderstanding.

Moshiri aside, yet another Iranian American billionaire goes in for another club. There have been two other ones in recent months ...

Iranians, and iranian-americans in particular, are amazing at making money. Imagine if they shared just a fraction of their fortune to impact the nation of their origin

Maybe he will buy PP or Esteghlal now😅😜👌

Money laundering operations complete. Time to sell:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jan/24/everton-for-sale-farhad-moshiri-asking-price-more-than-500m

Everton have been put up for sale by Farhad Moshiri, who is looking for offers of more than £500m for the Premier League club.

In recent months Moshiri has sought outside investment but he has finally put Everton on the market, and would consider a minority or majority sale. A number of potential buyers have expressed interest.

Moshiri would like to recoup the money he has invested in the new stadium being built at Bramley-Moore Dock. It is understood that Deloitte has been instructed to handle the sale of the club, who are in the Premier League relegation zone. Deloitte offered no comment when approached by the Guardian.

The British-Iranian billionaire’s attempt to sell can be revealed on a day when Everton were dealt a double setback with Marcelo Bielsa expressing doubts over replacing Frank Lampard as manager and Tottenham hijacking their move for Arnaut Danjuma.

Moshiri and his fellow board members have been fiercely criticised by Everton fans over recent weeks, with widespread calls for the owner to sell after almost seven years and for the directors to go.

About £700m has been spent on more than 50 players in the Moshiri era, with just over £400m recouped in sales. The attempted sale comes comes at a perilous moment for Everton with the stadium under construction at a cost of at least £550m, the club’s last three available set of accounts showing combined losses of £372.6m and lucrative commercial ties cut with companies owned by the oligarch Alisher Usmanov after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Moshiri has funded the construction costs of the stadium so far but has been seeking the additional investment required to complete the project.

Great purchase and a good player in Premier League, Nokhodi just hating on him because he's an Arsenal fan.
