Iranian Businessman buys 77.2% share in Everton

[nisfejahan]

All its missing is a sword on the front, and may be a chopped head or something to be more authentic.

Its so typical of the English to sell their souls for a few bucks. So so typical. First it was the Russian oligarchs, and now the king head-chopper.

Ya but Newcastle isn't trash and actually improved

Lol, I think you’re missing my point

As an Iranian Evertonian it's been a particularly painful few years. Watching Moshiri's unique combination of incompetence and ego not only rip out the soul and identity of one of the few traditional clubs left in the PL through mindless spending; but also somehow managing to make the club worse off in a footballing perspective.

But then, I see what's happening at Newcastle and remember it could be much, much worse:

The good thing at Everton is that following earlier demonstrations this season, the fanbase recognised the urgency of the situation and have come together to support the team - and their incredible actions have driven the players to get the results that might keep them up. But the truce is only temporary and they're demanding Moshiri listen and take on fan representation to change the club direction. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the pressure leads to Moshiri selling up this summer.

At Newcastle a lot of fans seemed to be celebrating the Saudi takeover. I know Mike Ashley was bad, but Saudi ownership is sportswashing on a different level. Let's see how this new kit goes down...

Everton got an away win at Leicester City and are currently out of the relegation zone

Man there's so many (US/UK etc..) Iranian billionaires - every day I hear of new ones locally to me. Some of whom made their money very quickly indeed. Few other countries in the world can compete with the business savy of Iranians.

I can only respect their work ethic and intelligence, just sometimes wish some of the respect given to making and keeping money can be transferred to other things when it comes to culture, art, history etc.... Just sayin...

Third. Newcastle. Mehrdad Ghodoussi.

Second. Newcastle United is owned by the Saudis. Mehrdad Ghodoussi is only the husband of Amanda Staveley, he has no say in the club's affairs

Third. Newcastle. Mehrdad Ghodoussi.

He’s the husband of Staveley so probably has very little influence. Same with Moshiri too, talk has been for a long time that he is a yes man for Alisher Usmanov who couldn’t put his name to the Everton deal due to his part ownership of Arsenal.

Sounds like there will be a second Iranian co-owner. Behdad Eqhbali will own a large piece of my favorite team Chelsea.
