Summary

The Worst-Run Club in the Country is the definitive story of Farhad Moshiri's six and a half years as the majority shareholder of Everton Football Club.
 
From the moment of his February 2016 arrival, the British-Iranian billionaire set about trying to rouse one of English football's perennial sleeping giants. No expense was spared in arming managers with substantial transfer budgets while he also sought to right the wrongs of the club's endless quest for a new stadium to replace their spiritual yet outdated Goodison Park home.
 
But Moshiri's grand designs unravelled as quickly as they had begun. On and off the pitch, the Toffees soon descended into chaos, with their long-standing Premier League status being placed in repeated jeopardy, the club being hit with a record ten-point deduction and irreparable division being sown within the fanbase by Moshiri's appointed hierarchy. All this led Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher to declare his boyhood heroes to be 'the worst-run club in the country'.

    Traveling can often disrupt our usual routines, and one of the first things many people sacrifice while on the go is fitness. However, staying active during your travels is not only possible, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. Fitness on the go is about making small adjustments to your routine that allow you to maintain your health, improve your energy, and help you stay balanced no matter where you are. This chapter will explore the benefits of staying fit while traveling, how to overcome common barriers, and how to set realistic fitness goals while on the move. 
Fitness during travel is not just about physical health; it’s also about mental well-being. Engaging in regular exercise can help reduce the stress and anxiety that often accompany travel, especially with tight schedules, time zone changes, or unfamiliar environments. Staying active releases endorphins, the body’s natural stress relievers, helping you stay relaxed and focused. Moreover, travel workouts can improve your sleep quality and keep your energy levels high, making your trip more enjoyable and productive. 
It’s common to feel that travel presents too many obstacles to exercising—whether it's lack of time, lack of access to a gym, or exhaustion from a busy schedule. However, by rethinking what exercise can be, these barriers become more manageable. Many exercises can be done anywhere with minimal to no equipment, and even short, effective workouts can help you stay on track. By identifying your personal challenges and addressing them head-on, you’ll realize that even in the most hectic travel days, a quick workout is achievable.
