He's the Director of Football, if he isn't getting the final say on football matters at the club why is he even there?!

He signed Digne, Mina, Richarlison, Bernard and Moise Kean, all of whom were wanted by other clubs around Europe. Other than not replacing Zouma he's been great since coming in.

Because his decision to stick with Silva after the Millwall debacle put us on this path.

Richarlison cost £50m. No one was getting near spending that.

Mina is excellent on his day, really brilliant, but injury prone and was horrific the other night.

Kean the non-scoring striker that even a very, very desperate Silva couldn't turn to.

Academy and first team described as being on different planets by one coach.

Gueye sold with no serious replacement. Gbamin??? Delph??? No.

Digne and Bernard - ok they are excellent.

We won't miss Brands who, if he was any good, would have said to the Board " ok sack Silva, but here's my pick". But instead he stormed out. Very professional

Wanted to keep for the time being, probably until the summer because yet another mid-season sacking causes more instability and makes the job even harder to sell to other managers. Doubt Silva was getting an extension or going to go into his final year. Brands doesn't want Moyes, if it is him he'll walk of that I'd bet the barn.

Instability in the form of not continuing on the path the squad was on? The path of playing a high backline against pacey attackers and getting burned but not making changes? I like getting rid of that continuity.

Are you joking mate? My blind 100 year old grandmother in her village back in Greece could see unless we replaced Lukaku( which may finally relegate us as we have no goals) and got a CB asap, we were in trouble.

All the other signings were yet another exercise in spending money for the sake of it.

Richarlison was Silva's signing.

Go to bed, you're drunk.

You just admitted 3 of the players I named are excellent. Used the fee as an excuse for the other one. Said Kean is a non scoring striker? Er, based on what? A few cameos off the bench (where he's looked dangerous). He's been here 18 months, how's anyone expected to sort out an academy during that time?! It takes years, look at Liverpool for example.

Embarrassing.

I dont see whats so bizarre about him asking the players if they need anything to improve.

Also, ramshackle squad?

Agenda much Joycey?

Yeah was more getting at the original made up story that was posted to stir the pot in here. The poster said Silva was discussed by the players and Joyce says he wasn't even mentioned. Agenda or not I'd believe Joyce over a made up dramatic story in here. Whats the agenda you speak of btw mate? I thought Joyce was OK with the club etc

We had the man in place in Martinez. I just think the mistake that Moshiri made was giving into the massive pressure of the fan base and media to let him go as a sign of the new era of ownership. Yes there were rocky times and awful derby performances in RM's three seasons in charge but the fact of the matter is that he was trying to implement a much more attractive and progressive offensive style of game on a shoe string budget with a group of players that were drilled by Moyes in the rigid structures and negative (yet reasonably effective) style of game. When FM came in, if Martinez was given the funds that the managers since him had to spend (plus that which was wasted on multiple manager payoffs) we'd be looking more like Leicester or dare I say it Spurs of the last few seasons than this one that has no style of play and is wallowing in mediocrity with no light at the end of the tunnel.

Martinez got worse the further the team got from the one Moyes left him. Complete rubbish, we would be championship at best with that idiot

Joyce has spent the last 2 years or so doing nothing but taking pot shots at the club mate.

Hes still in the loop, but he hates us, big time.
