Yep, cos the 20 years before he came were full of unicorns and rainbows.
Get him gone and lets get the Bin Ladens in.
Stop throwing money at us Mosh, we need a proper owner like dem Yanks or the Glazers.

Not many owners are football men
None of the owners of any of the top 6 even go and watch their teams.

I beg to differ with you there but even if what you say is true at least they try and get things right...this is getting beyond a joke now.
Problem is, he's also ultimately going to appoint the successor. I'm not filled with confidence.

Koeman and Walsh have received a lot of criticism, not a fan of either but I was a bit taken aback by them two being the sole targets for the criticism by some.
Surely they coordinated with those above, the CEO, chairman and owner whilst making the decisions that happened during that time? Things like too many number tens or the lack of a direct replacement for Lukaku. And here we go again, now it’s a lack of centre back cover or trying to bring in someone better than what we have for that position.
People got abuse for pointing out these things which I personally thought was odd, it was clear we needed a centre half! Zouma never happened so you should have back up targets and there is a whole summer to do it, so why didn’t it happen.
It cheeses me off that again and again we have cases of one step forward and two or three back constantly and this fella really doesn’t seem like the answer. I welcome anyone who genuinely invests for the better of the club, it’s alright having the money, it’s the people spending it and making the decisions that are accountable good and bad.
Something hasn’t been right for years before and after this fella came in.

Question for those that understand the world of business finances better than I?
So let's say we're worth just over £400m, and let's say that as the premiership bubble continues to grow we become worth more. We effectively owe our owner £350m don't we? So at the moment he would have to sell at £750m to break even, did I get that wrong? No buyer would purchase us with £350m of the previous owners money awaiting payment.
Now the stadium is a different thing, I get that. But whatever or however we achieve the finances to build it, it's going to mean hefty repayments which will affect our ability to finance the purchase and wages of players we would need to achieve the heights we need to ensure European Football and the subsequent cash being there brings.
Our answer as fans always seems to be 'win the lottery' which isn't (as any bank, financial expert etc will tell you) a sound business plan. Kenwright tried for many years to sell and found no buyers. Build a stadium and they will come seems to be something more akin to Hollywood than to real life. People won't flock in to a new stadium to watch us lose to newly promoted teams and the architects can't put in a defensive moat in front of our goal. New stadiums do not win trophies and even if we did fill it week on week, surely that would just be paying off the finances of the stadium but with inflated ticket prices.
Moshiri or any of the people he has speaking on his behalf won't tell us this because it would cause riots. We need to be playing good enough football to be breaking that top 6 consistently before we look to build a stadium. Moshiri got Koeman, invested heavily in players and tried the fast lane. It failed and left us where we are now, adrift in my opinion. That was plan A, grab a top four place and the investors will rush to us. To be fair to Moshiri and Koeman transfer prices almost doubled in that window so we spent double to get the same old same old.
We've sold our best players and taken on equity or debt whatever you want to call it and seen a spend of £500m or thereabouts to step backwards. We've gone from a team that with a few decent signings could have easily achieved top six to a team that would struggle to call itself mid table. Moshiri called us a museum when he bought us and said he'd turned us into a competitive outfit, is he seeing what I am seeing.
There is blame and he takes it, what he doesn't seem to have ever taken is a financial hit for it, we have. When he gambled that £500m, none of it was his, it's all ours. I've been suggesting we appoint Mourhino but after trying to sleep after that awful display yesterday I can't come up with any reasons now why he or any decent manager would take us on. They'd be saddled with previous failures on long contracts (something I warned Allardyce does) and an owner that has said he isn't going to put more money in.
I can't see a way out of this except hoping the manager somehow comes up with a way of making us play better and this after our easiest league start for many a year. He couldn't stop Hull sinking and I don't think he can stop us either. Moyes is another backward step but under him we would be at least beating the dross although he always hung up the white flag for teams at the top. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I find it all so utterly depressing.

Just make sure he doesn't choose our next manager.

So the man with more than half a billion in our club, the owner. Who is going to tell him he can't have a say?

He needs to actually come out and say what his ambitions for this club are. Has he ever said it?

We all know it - build the stadium and bugger off with a profit.
No disgrace in that but if he had any decency he would ensure sack Silva and actually appoint a credible manager this time around.
Boooooooooooo
Anyone know who was in Moshiris ear to get Silva.
Dont know any other club or anyone who seems to think the fella has anything about him.
Probably not relevant but I have never seen him smile or make a single joke. Imagine trying to be inspired as a player by someone
with such little personality.
