The only thing that matters mate is that a billionaire bought us with promises galore about how we were going to progress and be winning the league and trophies again and he has had nearly 7 years to get it right but has made a complete nut sack of everything he has touched and the entire club has become an embarrassment. That is why the 7 years before he bought us when we had no money showed far better league positions and performances, because this clown wasn't involved in them.

The regression in the last 7 years is completely down to this pleb and it is obvious that he is never going to get it right. He just makes it up as he goes and is still doing that now and needs to just stick to steel works because that is what he is good at.

Im not suggesting he's been a success mate im just pointing out the criticism he recieves is OTT when he has tried his best.

We had good seasons under Moyes because he and his recruitment team were absolute top notch - losing players like Lukaku, Gana, Stones, Deulofeu, Barry, young Barkley and a prime Coleman and replacing them with the likes of Sandro, Delph, Williams, Walcott, Gomes, Siggurdsson and a past it Coleman is there any wonder why we've gone from 6th-7th to 10-12th?

Poor Recruitment has ultimately been the reason why we've gone backwards and the blame has to ultimately fall on the last two DOF's and their recruitment teams.

Lad, he's not getting any credit "for trying his best".

He's our owner. Writing off 5 years of failure as "tried his best" isn't going to cut it.

You're talking about poor recruitment but that's all started with him recruiting crap managers and crap DOFs. He owns that. You wouldn't make excuses for Walsh and Brands by saying they "tried their best" would you?

Walsh was the man behind Leicesters title win apparently

Brands done a good job at PSV

Both were lauded by our fans when they first were appointed.

None of us including Moshiri had a crystal ball to forsee the poor job both would do here.

Hence why the criticism is OTT and agenda ridden - no one was moaning when we appointed Ancelotti and signed James Rodriguez...

You can't criticize Walsh and Brands for their recruitment failures and turn a blind eye to Moshiri's.

His record is worse than theirs as every person he's brought to the club has been a massive failure. At least Walsh and Brands made a few good signings that helped the team or were sold on for a profit.

No one is turning a blind eye though are they?

Im just not claiming all our problems are down to this fella and us being "destroyed from within" when Moshiri has pumped a ton of dough in for it to be spent badly by those entrusted to spend it wisely - you cant blame him for that!

But you can blame him for his poor choices in picking who he entrusted to spend it wisely as those decisions were made entirely by him.

Ignoring that is turning a blind eye to it.

Your missing some vital information out.

We could appoint the best manager and DOF in the world but if they aren't allowed to do their job with sole authority then it's pointless.

That is all down to Farhad. So while we can't forsee how things turn out, we can influence and with Moshiri in the background messing with agents and players, it's only going to go one way.

How though when they both had good CV's? lol

You're literally blaming the guy for not having a crystal ball to realise Walsh was going to sign Davy Klaassan and not another Kante/Mahrez or Brands was going to sign players like Gomes and Kean not suited to this league.

Once upon a time it was a crime on her to slate "der architect" now all of a sudden he was clearly a bum from the start and Moshiri was a fool to ever appoint him! this place is bi polar lol

Is that not the same thing you do when you blame the DOFs for signing players that didn't turn out?

Actually I took pelters on here when Brands was appointed as I said he wasn't suited to the role having spoken with a Dutch guy I was working with at the time. As for Walsh, Leicester had a transfer team and Walsh was head of it, there were domestic and european scouts and a data guy, it was a collective thing and unless we were bringing in the whole lot of them I can't say I saw the point given he had never done the job before. Neither of the individuals mentioned have been ever truly allowed to operate in the DoF role as it is meant to be (you know this even if you don't want to admit it) It's fairly obvious that various people have input on things within the club which just leads to chaos like we have now. As for Carlo and James, I remember quite a few people (myself included) being quite sceptical about the appointment and not being 100% convinced it was the right move. As for James, you are aware that he is a huge reason we have the P&S issues we have now, as according to Kirkbride (yes I know you don't like journo's but they tend to know more than you or I do) Brands was in budget that summer and Moshiri over rode him to sign James and appease Ancelotti.

Roman Abramovich is notorious for interfering in Chelsea and signed a few of his own players including Shevchenko.

The difference is no one is arsed because more often than not Chelsea sign boss players and had the luxury of no FFP when they bought the very best players with no restrictions placed on them.

What ???
He's allowed it and added to it with his own idiotic signings and manager recruitment decisions !!!

People cant moan that he gets involved in recruitment then moan that he didn't stop Walsh and Brands spending millions on poor players like Sandro, Klaasan, Bolasie, Gomes, Kean, Delph etc.

Hes made mistakes but he can't win with our fans regardless of what he does or doesnt do thats my point!
