If I recall correctly, you wanted big Dunc out of the club as you want them all gone, the guy who dared play 2 up front when the whole premier league plays 1 up front apart from maybe 1 team every so often. Why are you trying to cause me trouble?

How please buddy you joined yesterday

i have been here before, and met trouble making trolls like you before, many times. Don't call me buddy - makes you seem like an American from a 1985 movie. You a scouser/Everton fan or some weirdo from Short Circuit?
 

I think Walsh is badly being the scapegoat for the club's way of being and also Koeman/Moshiri. He signed DCL for £1.5m and we will probably get £35m or so, who knows, depending on what happens. He also signed Lookman who was underplayed. Also Walcott's best form came under Allardyce. The biggest mistake SA made was signing Tosun and then not playing him. It made the signing look bad and it showed fear. Tosun is a good enough player but if you're gonna pay a European team like Besiktas £26m for him then you should bloody play him. Walsh, as you said, also signed Gana who made us so much money. Koeman and Moshiri messed it up. Also, Jim White. He shouldn't have got involved.

No ones copy book isn't blotted here and no one has done all bad things. Moshiri got Carlo in the end and is working delivering us a stadium that almost any sensible owner would have scrapped in these times. Koeman had a good first season, but for whatever reason the hiring policy was awful. Walsh bought in the decent (cheap) players you mentioned but also was here when players that should have never been signed for any money nevermind the amount they were. Allardyce kept us up and Silva had that decent run at the end of the season where we looked like a team. It's just how the good to the bad balances and Moshiri's done more than any of the others.
 
That simply is not true. There were a large % of people who saw that the guy usually went in to freefall at every club he had been at. He was a match or two away from the sack at Southampton before the team picked itself and he won a bunch in a row.
I never wanted Koeman in the first place. The guy was so transparent it was unbelievable. Couldn't even be bothered getting off the beach to do a 5 minute press conference

This whole situation is mad. On top of us having a proper conveersation about what's gone right or wrong, we have people trolling me because that is their main desire. The thing is, if Ancelotti is perceived to have 'failed' if he leaves us, it won't be him who has failed, but it will be us. We will be a joke. This is our last chance in the near future to put things right.
 

Kenwright knew what we were, new what we wanted to be and made logical decisions to suit that. Most of us probably didn't like that vision, but there was a consistency to it.

Moshiri has kept Kenwright in charge of the club but is ultimately expecting radically different things.
Kenwright was far from ideal; his standing in the way of inward investment and his conduct on the Kings Dock stadium were appalling. However, onfield there was an identity for the club he forged with the two managers he hired.

An identity of failure.

He hired 2 managers that had won a combined 1 trophy in their whole careers.

Since then Moshiri has hired 3 managers with a combined trophy haul of :

8 League titles
8 Domestic cups
And
4 European trophies

So many levels.

And none of them have been able to repeat a top five finish that managers with a fraction of their budgets were able to achieve.
