You're right he probably wouldn't have stayed but had we been able to go get Koulibaly etc. when he was here we would have had a better chance and if not we might have then had the opportunity to get a Conte or other high level candidate afterwards.

Spending the same as Spurs is not going to be a guarantee of success, they have finished in the European places for the last 13 seasons, 7 of which in the champions league, the starting baselines of our two clubs was totally different. You know that it's far easier to take a decent team and add a few players than try and rebuild a whole new one from scratch.

The story is that he actively sounded out Real Madrid after failing to make their shortlist (and them trying to get Mourinho to cancel his contract at Roma).

I think he decided to explore his options once he found out about the £1.7m war chest. Before then, he was openly talking about spending big again in the summer, and I always got the impression that he was rather enjoying the wages : pressure ratio here.

It's probably a mixture of a few things, that we were hamstrung on budget was probably imho the largest factor. I also think that the break in and the fact the players downed tools so easily on him played a part.

Obviously Madrid is a huge draw and if you have a shot at it that trumps pretty much everything but would he had gone looking without the above and we squeezed Europe, who knows. All I believe is that had we been totally free of FFP at that stage we were building where we were perhaps a club who looked like they meant business and suddenly we've had to cut our cloth accordingly, we didn't go bankrupt ourselves, this isn't Leeds type story. We've been forced to by 3rd party rules and regulations that weren't there when other clubs made it. For example City didn't get to Mancini and then have to drop down 2 levels of manager and not buy anyone, yet people will bemoan that this has nothing to do with FFP. Yes we spunked inordinate amounts of money but just as we were cresting the mountain top we were yanked back to base camp. As always with us. Timing.

Very much inclined to agree with this. After wazzing £500m up the wall to go backwards, perhaps the whole FFP thing is a very convinient scenario for Moshiri so he can say "I'd spend if I could" whilst knowing full well he's going minimum spend only until BMD.

After all, if you've seen half a billion quid of your money wasted, would you want to throw another 200-500m at it whilst also having to fund a stadium, all with your No1 money man no longer being part of the picture?! I'm not so sure.

The Premier League reportedly signed off our last accounts, which (again reportedly) had combined losses of £84m over a three year rolling period, less than the £105m of allowable losses. This is before selling Richarlison and putting it on last year's books, presumably giving us even more leeway.

If we don't spend this summer then there are more reasons than p+s compliance to blame for it.

They've shot themselves in the foot this summer and blown through all the momentum and good will the support had at the end of the season.

We have sold our best player to pay the bills incurred by their disastrous management and can't manage to scrape together a fee for a single player at the moment.

Yes, Everton that. Our club is a shambles and what's worse the people who put us there are still there. We need to force them out!
 

Having forced them out who do we force in? Lots of apocalyptic suggestions but no substance to any of it. I could buy them out but am not inclined to do so until things have taken an upturn. They will have to dig us out. I am not confident they can. We are stuck.

Can't be too many past instances of billionaire businessmen who own 94% of a business being forced out of it by disgruntled customers.

The board are here til Moshiri decides otherwises (so basically, indefinitely) and Moshiri is here until he decides he wants to sell up. So long as the fan base keep paying their money, that isn't changing any time soon.

Mate could it get any worse? Are you suggesting we can't excerpt pressure on the club as a fan base? Of course its likely Moshiri won't sell until we are in BM but he should be forced to have a clean sweep of the club including his hapless mate Bill and Denise. The club needs to be run like a top business if we ever want to actually move forward. I am sorry I am not just accepting nothing can be done, when we only escaped disaster last season in large part down to the fan base and a few key players. We have regressed so much under their shocking management in six years it's untrue.

Uncle Unzy is under sanction
 

There's an egotistical driving force behind this "movement" which is acting like a manipulative sponge collecting those who think they can change things with no plan B.

Their protest at the liver building with no external communication, using it as a picture opportunity and when called out on it, threw bile on those who did, even playing the victim. One of them even posted personal details to get them hounded - and guess what, that person is now on the fans forum, directly liaising in meetings at that building with those they oppose.

One of the main leaders of this has countlessly embarrassed himself over the years with ITK transfer rumours, posting scribbles of the stadium to try and stay relevant, during the summer a well informed individual who we where glued to wouldn't even stay in the same Twitter space as him due to his toxicity, as he constantly tried to undermine his information.

The last few seasons have been a struggle, but I genuinely think Lampard understands more than what we do, and think protests are going to do more harm than good. Moshiri said give the club till the end of the transfer window so can we at least wait and see
