I am 61 years old and I have never seen a worst everton team we have become a Stoke or a wba no ambition anymore a manager who would rather win pounds than trophies a majority share holder than an outright owner knewright is still in control with his cronies holding 51% of the shares meaning every decision is voted on with his controlling of the situation I am in despair we must get this man out of the club and get a dynamic new regime in instead of the dinosaurs that still run it if we don't bramley Moore will be a distant memory while we will not be in the premier league also.

Agee mate, 100%, there is big problems at the club, but a lot carnt see it here?

Moshri is in control. The non Moshri shareholders will include many, perhaps even hundreds of small shareholders. Trying to get them together never mind to act in a concerted manner would be like trying to herd cats.

Alan, we have had worst teams from an ability viewpoint but never had a team that is so lacking in passion. Someone needs to remind the team and the management about what our motto stands for.

Glenn if you think moshiri is in control why is allerdyce in place. All the time after koeman went he talked about a foreign coach being next yet we went cap in hand to a man who was 4th or 5th choice stinks of kenwright and his moyes syndrome get in a fire fighter well he will have to start fire fighting for the next 15 games because this is going to get pretty close the way things are going Alan c.

In my opinion Moshri is a front man. Even if we concede that it was his own money that bought the shared, he is sn investor not a footballing man. As such the spectre of relegation and the consequent diminution in the value of that investment would allow him to be persuaded that a fireman was the way to protect that investment.

Moshiri owns 49.9%. There are a small amount of shares that were lost in the Blitz which will never be recovered. It is therefore physically impossible to own more than 49.9% which makes Moshiri the major shareholder.
But if we’re talking whether or not he is in control behind the scenes then just look at the improvements in investment mentioned at the last AGM, or the prospect of having a 1/ 2 billion pound state of the art stadium.
I’d rather not suggest that what happens on the pitch is Kenwrights or Moshiris fault. But happily point my finger toward those trusted with player recruitment and team selection. Then finally the players themselves.

Shares cannot have been lost in the Blitz. Certificates may have been but the company keeps a register of shareholders and would issue duplicates.

Glennk, the club recognises that they cannot, despite attempts to, talk to each shareholder because of shares lost during the Blitz. Nowadays yes you can have lost certificates reissued. But that’s not always possible especially if the shareholder has passed. This is the case with some shares in the club. They are lost and unrecoverable despite the attempts from the club to reach out to them. And the club refer to shares lost during the Blitz and shareholders passed being the reasons.
Farhad Moshiri at 49.9% is to all intents and purposes the majority shareholder simply because no one can achieve owning the rest.
