Hope you’re right fella.

This will be a big sign of his ambition.

Allardyce and Walsh staying would to me signal the clear idea he’s happy to settle as a Premier League club while we build the stadium.

Agree mate I think that Brands looks to be coming in and I would be shocked if Fat Sam stays. As you say those pair of jessie's staying would turn most fans against Moshiri.
 

He's a carpet bagger.

selective quoting there I see

carpet bagger
In the post-US Civil War South, carpetbaggers were Northerners who moved to the South to take advantage of the unstable social, financial, and political climate. They were called "carpetbaggers" to imply that they were such poor, transient characters that they merely moved south carrying all their possessions in a carpet-bag. A carpet-bag, by the way, isn't a bag for carrying carpet, but a soft-sided suitcase or satchel made out of carpet.

Today, the phrase refers to someone who moves to a new location for opportunistic reasons.
