The Iranian billionaire has purchased 18.7 per cent, through Blue Heaven Holdings Ltd, giving him a total holding of 68.6 per cent.

I think this has been managed well. Moshiri has had time to learn the ropes a bit with Kenwright still holding enough of an influence to allow for the transition from his time to Farhad's.

Not saying I'm a big fan of Kenwright or how he has run the club at times but there's far worse owners out there and he has at least been a steady hand to make sure the club has survived comfortably even if it hasn't excelled, during a time of economic uncertainty and instability for a lot of clubs who sold out to the first Tony Fernandes or Venky's that waved a bit of money in front of their owners' noses. Now when he has decided his time is up he appears to have found a man with the right intentions for the club to take us into the next chapter of our history and has protected the club from a risky revolution period by doing it in chunks. Whatever the reasons to dislike the man that will lead him to be remembered far from fondly, I don't think we can take that away from him.

This next step needed to come sooner rather than later though. Hopefully it's another step in the right direction.

Stadium needs to be sorted ASAP, show some ambition and go for 60k.
