The season has been poor and the Allardyce appointment was made to stop it being the complete relegation disaster it could have spiralled into after the Southampton game. Getting shut with a few games left doesn't get the next guy through the door any quicker and having an incumbent manager doesn't mean that moves can't be made behind the scenes to ensure a swift replacement come the close season and other key appointments are put into motion.
People are screaming about the slow progress but there are always bumps in the road. The best laid plans and whatnot.
Look at Spurs - Daniel Levy is rightly praised about his work there but he has been at the club since 2001. Strides have been made over the last few years but not all his decisions have been good. Damien Comolli and Juande Ramos didn't work. Hoddle's reign petered out disappointingly and the appointment of a somewhat tainted George Graham was a dubious decision. AVB? Tim Sherwood?
He didn't just come in a couple of years back, appoint Pochettino, buy Dele Ali and teach Kane to score. It's been a long slog.
He also has a reputation as a wise spender but look at how the Bale money was squandered on a very un-Spurs like splurge on unsuitable players with no real forward planning (sounds familiar?). The new ground has took around 11 years to deliver, has doubled in cost and there are a whole other list of issues such as bidding to get into the Olympic Stadium and a long running dispute with tenants on surrounding ground which has got a little dark in places.
This isn't to slate him but to illustrate that these things can take a long time and the current attacks on Moshiri for not getting it right first time, all the time, are to my eyes pretty unreasonable. To argue that he should be punching at the same weight as oil and state backed billionaires and in half the time is crazy.
