He allowed an owner to tell him what he should do. He'd have been there right now overseeing this mess if a fan hadn't forced the issue and Moshiri sacked him.
There's nothing he can say of value. Just a bit of arse covering for himself.

I’m happy for them to exist based on that statement.
Incredibly damaging that a propaganda tool created by the club his turned against it.
Because, even if they are somewhat of a token gesture, the hierarchy of this club and the fan base would have no meaningful body to interact through.
Somewhat ironically, we probably need them now more than ever - and for them to do the job we all wished they'd do.

He literally didn't want the best manager in the world. He actively lobbied to not appoint the best manager in the world. His words not mine. Now that is shocking.

Another group commited to pleading with the real culprit to improve things at the club.
They're all bizzare...mind you, at least the FAB have been through an election process of sorts and have adopted a constitution, elected a chair and agree on messaging....
The owner is in charge and can tell anyone to do anything he wants. That is how it works. It is understandable for him to sit quiet when Carlo rocks up to Everton. There isn’t a director of football at any club in the world (bar city/Bayern) who wouldn’t. Benitez is obviously a different story and he quiet rightly resigned.
You could see it like that, perhaps fairly to an extent. Or, you could see that he was promoting a manager that would fit the profile he had envisaged/sold.
That being a young, progressive manager who would fit the mould (play our way) who would have players who were young, could develop and sell on value.
Carlo is a great manager and person I was happy we appointed, but objectively you can't say he was the first, did the second or facilitated the latter.
We played a certain way he wanted and brought in expensive, older players who we could not move on for a profit, which is the exact opposite of the model.
Rafael was even further away from it, so if he's meant to be a DoF and fulfil his remit should he have gone, 'Yes, let's appoint Carlo and go against all our plans?'
Look how PSV, Brighton, Dortmund and so many others operate - that's what he'll have envisaged. Then, look where we are and the situation we're in.
That’s a fair shout. He should have realised what a draw Carlo would be to young players if he really wanted to build the team that way.

It started before then. He stood by when Moshiri wanted Silva sacked when he himself did not.
He's a weak man and a chancer.

Which is why the Doucoure signing never made any sense. Either you want to sign young players and build something or you want to win now and Doucoure did neither.

That's what Ped has been calling for. Not entirely sure if it would make any significant difference?
I’m sure the three eyed, Widnesian wiseman, will be along shortly, to tell us all how the nasty fans chased his hero away.

No the board wouldn’t be bothered anyway.
Probably needs to happen at some point to be fair. Every semblance of cooperation with the board from fans needs to be severed when we do actually drop.
