Mate, dont embarrass yourself. Up until 2009 I was one of Moyes biggest fans. If the archives go far back enough on GOT then that'll be borne out by my posts. I gave Moyes credit at every turn and I did so for 7 seasons before I finally broke that loyalty. Enough was enough after that 2009 team was voluntarily broken up by him in order to save the club cash in a fire sale. He stood by and let it happen. And the football was utter gash.

Sorry, I dont fit into your little stereotype mate. It's a bit more complex than that and involves a lot of consistency and loyalty. Before I lose it with a manager they have to be given a big shot to get it right first.

True Dave but the club was in dire financial straits at the time, some thing had to give, better for it to be players than the club.

Interesting anti-Kroenke slant that maybe feeds into the Moshiri exit from Arsenal (reading between the lines, that is). Basically, Stan the Man is an absentee landlord who looks to a anoverly cautious and conservative business model for football and it's becoming a dead hand on the Gunners' ambitions.

Hopefully Moshiri concurs and sees splashing the cash as the only way to stimulate a recovery.

Looks like the papers are going to get involved now in a Kroenke-Usmanaov war as the Wenger regime draws to a close.

Early days yet Dave but I have every hope that Moshiri will help out in this respect. His mild rhetoric at the moment seems to support this. Do hope it does turn out to be a damp squid and he only comes to watch the footie and keeping Bill company.

It's got to be said, Bill has played a blinder here. A big F U to everybody who said he didn't care.

If he cared enough, he would have done something like this 5 or 10 years ago. He's made a few bob during a period when we have gone the most number of seasons in our history without silverware. Nice work if you can get it. We now have 5 years to play 25 years of catch up. I'm just glad we've finally had change. I'd like to start trying to forget the Kenwright years, before anyone starts talking about putting a statue of him up.

He didn't fight hard enough to keep his players all told, Moyes. Happy to go along with the carpet baggers, take his £3M per year and wait for his dream job to land in his lap.
