January transfer window 2024

[Street end man]

Oh spare me this sob story crap honest to god. He is a billionaire that is going to walk away an even richer man than he was previously, after having invested nothing of his own personal fortune into the club. It’s us that have to suffer because of his gross mismanagement of the football club, not him.

I don't know enough about it. Neither do you. I do know he didn't want for it to have ended up as it is. Baffled how he walks away richer too. Don't like the bloke bit the hate he gets is ridiculous.

I think people defending him are ridiculous. He has completely destroyed this football club.

“Now we are comfortable with Cenk Tosun as a focal point, we have Bolasie back, Sigurdsson, Rooney - we have our own Fab Four!”

“We are optimistic. It’s a big second half to the season for us. With the players coming back and Cenk Tosun, who is a very, very good striker.

“I saw him first in Monaco because I live there and I watched him when Monaco played Besiktas. He single-handedly destroyed them, although it could be a flash!

“No, he looked very good. I followed him and the coaching staff liked him. There are not a lot of strikers around, so hopefully we’ve hit it right.”

Crying, what does this mean.

People he has shelled out millions on have.

 

[Del-boy]

We aren’t signing anyone as we have no money. What we are seeing is the managed decline of our club on the pitch over the last 2 years.

He hasn’t shelled out anything though has he.

Do you ever sit and wonder to yourself why every penny of investment in the football club stopped as soon as Usmanov was sanctioned?

 

[Brendan Janus]

We couldn't sign a Sherbert Dib Dab !!

Just over a year later and only the DoF remains. The man has no idea what he's doing. How anyone can feel sorry for this imbecile is beyond me.

In any big business, responsibility ultimately rests at the top of the organisation. And that definitely includes responsibility for poor recruitment in football.

Of course he will have wanted to have done far better. But the facts are that his time in charge of the club has been been fairly disastrous with bad decision after bad decision.

And now he's trying to sell the club with it in obvious financial trouble. We have a very poor football team but we have even bigger off field problems too.

He's done an exceptionally poor job at running a top flight football club and he is ultimately responsible, along with those on the board during his ownership.

Just can't fathom how he hasn't shelled out anything. However if you say he hasn't and he'll walk away with a massive profit then who am i to argue. I've no idea what's going on at the, again just like you haven't.

I agree with that and so does Mike.

His wealth has increased. But some fans on a forum wanted him out so I guess he’s the victim after all and we should all just shut up.

Exactly this. The man is only human whatever you think of him. He wanted us to be the new City and not the laughing stock we are now.

Man tried but a mixture of poor decision making & events out of his control (Ukraine War) has left us in a precarious position with these corrupt P&S rules destined to strangle us to try bat off independent regulation.

Unfortunately the only alternative at this point is 777 who are penniless crooks.

The early Moshiri era wasn't the disaster some make out - Multiple 8th place finishes, building BMD, appointing Carlo Ancelotti as manager and every manager backed to the hilt in the transfer window. If 777 came in & delivered us the above - everyone on the forum would be pleasantly suprised - so how its viewed as a "disaster" is silly.

The moment it went "wrong" was the corrupt P&S rules leading to us needing to stop spending circa 2-3 seasons back whilst having to start selling our better players like Richy & Gordon with no room to replace them with like for like quality. Throw in USM being suspended and our main benefactor unable to keep funding us/BMD it's turned into a disaster but make no mistake we've been very unlucky in the most part.
