The blame game

[4737carlin]

It comes down to Moshiri. We weren't in this position before his arrival.

He didn't even have a bad set up to build on, Lukaku....etc

It’s ultimately the owner’s fault.

 

[good times bad times]

Moshiri had the opportunity to move us forward but let an incompetent idiot massage his own ego and take us backwards instead. The ultimate business owner always needs to take the blame even though there's always a number of people/factors that cause the problems. Currently that's Moshiri.

If your argument is that it's Kenwright's fault for selling to Moshiri then it's Johnson's fault for selling to Kenwright.

Whatever your argument, there are a lot of dirty fingers in this pie.

The difference there is that Johnson sold to the first person to come up with the money to buy out his shareholding.

Kenwright had multiple opportunities to bring in investment or sell his shareholding before he actually did, as it appears he was waiting for the person who would allow him to stay on as chairman and keep control of the running of the club. So the 2 situations are vastly different.

It's semantics really though as both Kenwright and Moshiri have been disasters for this football club. A poisonous cocktail mix who between them are taking us down the road to oblivion.

Aye, he inherited a good team, spent millions of pounds and is about to relegate us. Never mind we've become financially f'ed under him. There's common denominator here and it isn't the old fart.

Blame lies in the recruitment. Where we've spent our money. When a good player has left us (or simply passed their prime) we have addressed that issue horrendously.

The lack of a plan since Moshiri has arrived at the club is an absolute disgrace and it's why we find ourselves where we are.

 

[Ruairi77]

You mean be as bad as Moshiri at recruitment?

No I mean keep on the worst chairman in the clubs history

 

[mahermi1]

I agree that Kenwright is a massive problem, a stain on the club and the architect of much of it's demise. And that's why Moshiri, as the owner, should have removed him but he hasn't, he's enabled him to continue destroying us.

Agree entirely should have done what the skunks done

It comes down to Moshiri. We weren't in this position before his arrival.

We needed to 'twist' in the sense that every side in the league was getting richer and richer though. Think we'd be in a similar, if not worse, situation sooner had we not been sold.

Morshiri is the main reason we are now relegation fodder. However a stronger Board could have stood up to his interference in footballing matters. The managers we have had, money which was wasted and the current crop of Division 1/Championship standard players we have is down to Management, Board and Owner.

 

[mahermi1]

If we are being serious about this then there is only one answer as to who is primarily responsible, Kenwright.

He has been involved at a senior level for 19 years during which time the club has not developed, lacked any plan and lived from hand to mouth. All whilst operating as a multi million pound business. His performance is a gross dereliction of his duty as Chairman. By 2016 when he found Moshiri, any competent individual would have realised that his aim of staying involved with someone else investment was not in the best interests of the club or indicative of the way the ownership issues were developing within the Prem.

In rrefusing to stand down, he is atagonising our fan base. I for one wish to see his credibility further damaged as I regard his ego driven conduct unforgiveable.

Exactly that.

Il give you one small example that has been the diarrhoea of Everton’s transfer dealings under this massively under qualified over paid board …Antonee Robinson sold for £2m, Vitaly Mykolenko signed for £20m.

This is the result of having people in high positions totally unfit for there roles

Man Utd for poaching Moyes lol

Moyes sure did a great job with limited funds. We need to be honest here, this club has never recovered from when Moyes left.

The proof of that is that it looks like we could very well be finally going down ten years on from his departure.

Here's my top 10.
Feel free to play along.

1. Moshiri - world's stupidest billionaire
2. Kenwright - created culture of failure + mediocrity
3. DBB - regional sales manager for DFS
4. DOFs - catastrophic, every one of them
5. Players - everything's been said
6. Koeman - never recovered from him, did it to Valencia
7. Flunkies - Executive team + Sharp, Ferguson, Unsworth et al
8. Media - mainly Echo, but they've all cozied up to Bill. McNulty + Hunter did right thing. Eventually.
9. Happy clappers - mugs, could be higher
10. Ex players - only Southall, Stubbs said anything

11 Don Carlo doing a runner.
12 Hiring Benitez.
13 Not sacking Lampard before the world cup.
14 Not signing any effing players in January.

Feck it i'd be here all night if i list all my reasons tbh!lol

 

[Timbucktoo]

It's all on Moshiri. He enabled the rest.

There would be no Moshiri if Blue Bill hadn`t seen the lorry load of cash he would make out of selling shares to him.
