Apparently Moshiri texted Jim White to say he considered McCarthy part of the family and didn't want to jeopardise his place by buying Sissoko, as excuses go that's not very good!

Ed025: not apparently, fans believe the most ludicrous stories in the media (traditional and social) , rather than waiting for an official club announcement.
Not apparently, Everton Football Club are absolute rubbish at providing timely, accurate and comprehensive information to its fans.

{Ed025's Note - there has in the past been a terrible situation between the club and the fans regarding information sid, im hoping that moshiri now having a DOF will address this issue soon mate..

It's on Jim Whites official social media stream, he screenshot the message. There is 2 possibilities here, one for the last 6 months someone has conned Jim White in to believing they are Moshiri and are making a mug of him. Or Moshiri is actually sending these messages which in my opinion would be very very worrying.
Now Jim White broadcasts on the Premier Leagues ATM and you'd think given the several occasions Jim White has said he has received a message from Moshiri that the club would come out and say it's a hoax Jim lad you've been done.
This isn't a situation to be dismissed. If our majority shareholder is sending these messages then he's bloody Kenwright on speed with his BS and I can spout anything these numpties will believe it.
Re Koeman, he is not happy. He will say so on Friday next week in his press conference. If he's not happy because he wanted more players but doesn't hold the board responsible then that is fine. If he does then this could be a disaster.
My view is according to official financial reports we made a 2 mill profit this window in transfers in and out, the 17th lowest investment in the league. I think with the business we did that's extraordinary and quite brilliant actually. I think we have looked organized, fitter after Spurs, clear room to improve (with what we have) and all the signs are positive.
However if that BS was sent by Moshiri I don't like the sound of how he views us fans. I mean, wow, that's just utter nonsense.

Many articles have now surfaced stated Mr Moshri's mistake was in entrusting the negotiations to Mr Kenwright and Mr Elstone albeit in the knowledge that he did not have a lot to choose from. As previously mentioned though this is early days in Mr Moshri's structural and staff revolution and hopefully Mr Kenwright will soon take an honoury position and Mr Elstone given a sideways shuffle.

Doubt Moshiri knows what a Jim White is.

Well then Mr Moshiri is in for another cash injection as Jim White and Sky stand by the screenshot of the messages and his on air admissions that he received messages from Moshiri.
Look I'm a positive blue but this is not great be realistic.

The whole Sissoko debacle was exactly the same as the Payet one, and we end up looking mugs with poor excuses!

My view on it is that Moshiri was genuinely excited at us finally landing Sissoko (so he believed) and he expected Sissoko to be on the plane and straight in for his medical and signing on forms. What none of us had accounted for was that either Sissoko or his agent had lied through their teeth hoping that we would prompt Spurs into action. which we did. The original story about Sissoko not answering his phone to Mr Koeman has a ring of truth to me. especially when it was stated that everything was in place but Sissoko went missing. Furthermore, I believe the statement that came later saying we had pulled out of the deal was done to "save face". It allows the club to look like we were not snubbed and allows Sissoko to move on with his career looking like a decent bloke. (which in my opinion he is not! )

No it was BS pr statement as the hierarchy still feel that we will take what they say at face value.

That would be my reading of it too Degsy. What about it? One player, Everton will continue on without him.

Or was Mr. Moshiri having the last laugh with Spurs (the old enemy) and in particular Levy, who is well known for his business acumen? Apparently the statement to pull out was made after their bid was almost doubled to match ours which obviously they could then not renege on, maybe it's just me but when I look at Mr. Moshiri's face I see someone with a smug smile who knows exactly what he wants and how to get it, a bit of a 'laughing assassin' I suppose.

{Ed007's Note - Anyone else picturing Moshiri sitting stroking a white cat after reading that?}

''Anyone else picturing Moshiri sitting stroking a white cat after reading that? }''

Not me Ed. . That would entitle Levy to carry a 'WaltherPPK' and drive a 'DB7' with fitted 'ejector seat' 😨.

I agree with that Degsy but do have a sneaky suspicion that the statement we pulled out probably had Mr Moshiri smirking that Spurs had now paid over the odds.
I don't see where the Arsenal fan Sissoko fits in their squad though, and still think we had a lucky escape!
