As I said, his delivery can be self important and condescending, but not sure he was always wrong?? All of us demanded change, remove the Board, ideally move Mosh on etc and hope that alone would be the utopia. Sack the board was held up as a solution - it’s just the first step of a decade long process. Finally looks to be happening, but I’m sure he will have known the type of buyers we would attract. He won’t mingle with the oil states, but he will be aware of opportunistic investment groups that were always likely to come sniffing. Look at the skint wasters that are about to be our new owners.
He always characterised Mosh’s time as a huge embarrassing shambles, whilst noting he had put millions in. Again true for me. Plenty highlighted the money wasted, but few if any called the owner hopeless by name. He placed the responsibility for all spending on Moshiri, as the owner and the signer of cheques.
He is one of the few mainstreamers to talk down our P&S charge, particularly in comparison to City. Sounds to me like he thinks we over-egged the Covid losses, but if the rules allowed it, then it’s the PL’s fault for having pathetically written rules. He is also repeatedly strong on saying other clubs suing us for £100m is a complete utter fantasy. Everyone else says we are to be sued to oblivion.
Don’t care how posh or rich he is. He knows more about owning a football club than me, and LOT more than Moshiri. He can blow dry his hair, wear massive watches and vote Tory however much he likes, I value what he says on our situation. I don’t have to like him
