Do we now need a clear statement of intent from the new regime?

It was a season ticket slogan...

Has it been denied yet? Pretty easy to do so I would have thought. And not very bright of a tv presenter to wilfully make up the words of a billionaire I wouldn't have thought.
So on this occasion I'm going to say 'yes, I do believe it'.

His cv is two PL finishes of 7th and 6th. Let's not go overboard. He was a great player. He isn't a great manager, not so far he isn't anyway.
Sorry I meant the new statement you refer to in the post re vision etc.

This isn't a meltdown thread. It's pretty conservative in tone and what's being demanded. It's simply this: tell us where we're going and tell us how you see us getting there.
It's something that at any major club in this league would have been issuing to its fans when there was a takeover of this magnitude. But instead we have nada, zip, nowt, nothing...and if that's not good enough for other top clubs it's not good enough for us neither.

You know what's annoying me is the excuse of lack of European football. The only way round it is to spend over the odds at first to get the players you want or need or your faced with a perpetual chicken and egg problem . As unpalatable as it is that is the nature of modern football. The argument that Red Holdings is having with Kroenke is based on this very premise. If you've got the cash you make the splash it lets players know your serious in your aims. That's IF you've got the cash.

And what to you expect them to say? 'We're downsizing the club in the desire to become the best local club in the North West Counties League'. No. It'll be the usual statement of every new board that comes into a football club that they want to bring the glory days back to X and that European football is on the agenda. It's trite garbage that just serves to give fans wet dreams and sooner or later is used to beat a board to death with.
Also, your statements are so full of entitlement that it's simply mind blowing. You're using the Royal 'we' to describe how the club should get your willy hard by releasing a statement about how great we're going to be. It's clearly an utter whinge about how the transfer window didn't pan out how you wanted because we don't have a team off FIFA. Journalists are 'patsys' because their heads are rolling on the floor because they dare to look at things objectively and have a different opinion to the one in Champions League back to back winners addled brain.
Truthfully, if you can't see what work is obviously being done in the background then you may be a bit dense. We've brought in an Academy Director who seems to talk a good game, we've brought in a new sporting director who will undoubtedly take time to implement his own systems so that all of our scouts are singing off the same hymn sheet. It's the ground work to a better club.
If you to be honest and admit this thread was a desperate cry for attention it's alright man.

Surely a statement of intent is best made on the pitch. We're unbeaten in three games so far and have looked vastly improved from last two seasons, don't see why there's so much doom and gloom really.

Not sure if the point has been made previously, but until Moshiri gains complete control I would not expect to see too much change. The acid test will be the stadium, in the meantime I'm ok with developments on the field, the market was/is massively inflated and there's no point in blowing the bank on mediocrity.
I think some good intent and intelligent planning was demonstrated in the cost and determination to bring in Koeman and Walsh, it's early days and anyone looking to undermine our position before we've got started is deluded.

Because we didn't spend 70 million on players, Moshiri hadn't come out and said we are the best oh and apparently said James McCarthy is family and that why we didn't get sissoko.
Erm and he hadn't revealed his plans for the future yet but its only been 6 months and I thought we were doing ok.
