There was some wild projections at just what effect Moshiri joining the club would have. I think there needed to be a more level headed assessment of where and at what pace we were heading.

I go back again to what I've said time after time since he arrived: there needed to be an interview given by Moshiri setting out in broad brushstrokes what he wanted to achieve here and how long he envisaged that would take. At the time I first put that forward it was shouted down as "mind your own business, the owner is under no obligation to reveal anything to you or anyone else". Instead the expectation levels were ramped up and we are where we are now, with a lot of disillusioned people.
One of the criticisms of the old regime was the lack of communication from the club. I appreciate moshiri is a private man, but when you are owner of a football club you need to have more dialogue with the fanbase. For whatever reason, the echo seems in the dark with regard to moshiri's intentions. Saying that they have run a story recently of joe andersons meeting with moshiri, who spoke positively about the vision moshiri has for the club. Would there have been any harm in moshiri putting out a statement on the OS about his aspirations and vision for the club. It would certainly remove some of the uncertainty amongst the fanbase.

I would imagine something will hit the press when he is good and ready to tell us some concrete news.

I appreciate that, but how long do we have to wait? He's been here over 6 months and he's barely said a word. I don't expect him to reveal the transfer budget and potential targets and I'm delighted with his appointments of koeman and Walsh. However more dialogue with regard to stadium issues and his intentions to address the dreadful commercial deals the previous regime entered into would be a start.
 
I still have faith in the long term project. Was just more hoping for a statement of intent this window to go along with the "Nothing will be the same" tagline. I think saying that and the new TV money really got peoples hopes up.

Long term, let's crack on and see what happens, short term, a few days to show fans it isn't the same old same old. That's the way i see it at the moment anyways.

To be honest though, I don't know which is worse, a silent owner of a blabber mouth BS'er.

If Kenwright still had ownership now I would still be annoyed that we hadn't spent any money on top of what we have sold especially with this bumper TV deal. Not as simple as that I know but am grateful we now have a direction (I hope we do) we are going to go in. Under Kenwright and Elstone we were living day by day, no business plan in place or the structure to go forward. It's good we seem to be getting this now, I just think the fans need to see a statement of his intent in playing staff because we don't pay our match tickets to watch Steve Walsh pick players out we pay our money to see quality on the pitch. Lets hope his intentions are rubber stamped this time next week.

PS this isn't me having a dig at Walsh, just poiting out some don't see this as a real statement of intent, the intent has to be what players we bring in
