He must be absolutely fuming at the state of the club since buying us.

As an investor he must be, he has a huge proportion of his personal wealth earning nothing. You don't live in Monaco and call yourself an investor if you don't like making money. He took a big gamble and made mistakes, I don't have any ill feelings.
 
I refuse to blame Moshiri for what he's done since buying us. You could argue that he has made poor appointments but hindsight is wonderful.

He sacked Martinez when 99% of fans wanted it to happen and rightfully so.

When we brought in Koeman and Walsh you could see the logic behind it - Koeman had done brilliantly with Southampton (outperformed Poch), Walsh had just been credited with buying the players and being heavily involved in Leicester winning the league.

Big Sam was a terrible choice but he wasn't the first choice at the time. It was Silva who was coming off the back of success abroad, a good attempt at keeping Hull up and a fine start to the season with Watford. Big Sam was the worst case scenario and you can easily argue that he did well to get results and finish 8th - Moshiri also made the right choice sacking him at the end of the season to look to the future.

Brands in particular is the best appointment so far (not much competition I know..) as he's bought brilliantly and despite the poor team performance you can clearly see the quality individuals in the team have.

Brands for manager.....:celebrate: you've nailed it....:celebrate:

You refuse to blame him but he is the one hiring and firing. He's the one making these decisions. How can he fume at the state of the club when he's the one who's been in control? Whatever is happening right now he owns it.

Now time to call it a day and hand the reigns over to his much wealthier and smarter friend uncle Uzzy.

I'm sure there's a fair argument for otherwise but I actually think it's less about making money in this case. He's put a lot of money in because he wanted to own a successful football club.

I refuse to blame him for the exact reasons I outlined. His decisions were pretty logical throughout his time here so far. They didn't work out.
 

Because the recruitment is not the problem. Mina is quality, Digne is quality, Gomes is absolute quality - the problem is what we are asking them to do, which is play in a system that has failed for four and a half seasons now.

Any player brought in to this system would look terrible after a while; that is after all why Niasse never looked better than when he had gone months without playing in it.
Mina hasn’t looked quality for us though. I think if we’re honest most people are actually concerned that he might be a complete dud, he’s had some absolute shockers. It’s too early to know how good brands is but some people are just blindly defending him which is weird.
 
Can’t fault him for ploughing money in. How much has he spent now including sacking 3 managers & all the transfers? £250 million??

Anyone with any sense (excludes a few on here) could see we had a good manager, who’d just took us to 2 semi finals with a threadbare squad, an ageing defence & a once decent keeper costing us points...

Just imagine if he’d been given half of what’s been blown in the last 3 season.
 
I would never want Moyes back here but even i have to admit we were a miles better team back then than we are now. We were in Europe regularly and had a few decent runs and the team were fighters no matter who was on the field. There were of course bad times too but far more good times back then imo.

We have mostly gone backwards since then other than a flukey Martinez season and further backwards even more since Moshiri started pumping money in giving him more power and making absolutely clueless decisions such as appointing plebs of Managers, this one included.
