Farhad Moshiri

Why doesn't the guy use our press people. Make statements through the club like normal owners do. I'd get going to Jim White if he constantly delivered and he was talking to him to brag but every time he communicates with him it's to make excuses why something didn't happen or a player wasn't signed.

Does anybody really think that is what he is saying privately.

Actually, that final paragraph looks ominous if you are the manager. Read it again.

[paraphrasing]: It's early days, but we know our fan's expectations and will not let them down.

I read that as someone saying that they wont let this drift.

Yep. Moshiri acted when things went sour with Martinez. Obviously a little late but I imagine that Kenwright had him wait for a long time.

But he knows how things will get if it goes to that point and he won't want that happening again.

Shut up you clueless beaut

'The only unexpected loss'

So we expected to lose the other games?

United didn't beat us at all last season and Spurs only won their home game against us by one goal.

I thought this was our window of opportunity to push on?

Don't know why we expected Kenwright to find someone good for this club.

Just build the stadium and go. Utter losers from top to bottom at this club.

That's the way I read it too. IF he claims to have ambition, he can't let it drift too long, otherwise he's just a wealthier Kenwright. A ruthless owner would have binned him last night.

The reported contact with other managers also leads to this conclusion too

He knows that's the reputation he has amongst fans. He wont want to see that eradicated by letting this turn into a malaise if results remain ropey.

I think cards have already been marked behind the scenes.

Exactly mate. His stock is on the line. Literally and metaphorically.

I cant imagine Plans A, B and C not being looked at here. There's a lot of flux at the club with things going on off the pitch re the stadium and the rebuilding of our reputation as a top club is all part of that rebranding campaign. To languish with a poor manager and not act is NOT an option.

Maybe waiting to see who we can get as replacement...

Koeman was Moshiri's first managerial appointment, his big statement and he'll want it to be a successful one so he'll give it as long as he can but i agree, i think behind the scenes he will have been told you need to hit these targets or you're gone.

Whenever it reaches the point that the chairman has to make a public statement regarding your job safety, you're on borrowed time. It's now or never for him to turn things around it feels.

...just about sums it up. ^^^

...as I say: 'cards marked'.

Was thinking that last night.

If Farhad was deadly silent id actually worry that he's not seeing what we are all seeing. The fact he's felt the need to make a public statement is telling.
