I have some sympathy for Moshiri as (unlike some chairman) he has made efforts to improve us, and he did put his money where his mouth was.
BUT, ultimately his decisions have relegated us. Namely:
- Chasing big names. The biggest issue. The desperation to be one of the big Hollywood clubs. It’s led to a stream of overpaid, undermotivated prima Donna players, and high profile but ill fitting managers (Benitez, and indeed Lamps).
- Interference. Wanting Tosun in, the El Ghazi fiasco, not letting his DoF choose the manager. Any time he’s involved in football matters it ends badly.
Accounting - Supposedly his strength? Yet we left ourselves in the summer with a rotting squad and in a huge financial knot. With the worst problems still to play out.
The Board - A revolving door of inexperienced nobody’s. Culminating in BK incredibly still being involved with ‘yes man’ Graeme Sharp in tow. It needed serious business people from day one.
There is other stuff, like communication with the fans and being absent from games but it’s film flam compared to the big mistakes.
