The alternative theory is that our financial situation as regards Profit and Sustainability rules was so bad that we could only sign players at £0.5p down and the balance over the length of a long contract. Any breach of this would have led to a points deduction making relegation more likely anyway.
I am not in anyway defending the situation as in any event those responsible should be ashamed to have got us into this position. It clearly appears as though a malfunctioning Board has lacked the ability to plan and act to correct the problems in advance. As has been highlighted by many on here, in any other area of business, they would be gone.
By their silence and remaining in place they are ramping up the determnation of many of us to see them ousted. They may control the finance but no business, even one in football can be managed when its customers are in open hostility with those running the show.

Excellent summary of our current position and why there has to be action taken asap. It just can't go on as it is.Leadership required urgently by Moshiri

Even Bob Mortimer couldn't blag his way through our board's lies.

As I said before the world cup they had to either back Lampard with forwards early in the window or sack him they did neither until the very last week of the window at the point where we were our least attractive to new players. They also sold another wing option and didn't bring anyone in. Insanity. We go down its on the owner and board. I will never forgive them and as heartbreaking for us and catastrophic as it would be for the club a part of me thinks their mixture of utter delusion and years of negligence and mismanagement deserve relegation. They need to get out of the club whether we stay up or not!

I hate this too, especially thinking for even a second about relegation, and that horrible feeling that it might actually force a dramatic change. But we can't afford to think like that, and have to keep hoping that something clicks and the club finally get it right.
I can't stop thinking about the idea about our transfer spending, and imagine if we had spent just £20 or £30 million less , and put that money into Finch Farm facilities and personnel, and especially a strategic review.
As for Moshiri, even I know from my experience of taking over a company that the first job you do is strategic review of the business and then match it up with your own ideas. yoU don't have to change everything overnight, but you can consult, tinker, and then in a year or so you might have dramatic change. 7 years man!! we could have been pushing for trophies by now!

I can't stop thinking about how the 7 years might have gone if Moshiri had spent his money more wisely:
Year 1 - 'strategic football review' - whether you like it ore to Martinez had some good ideas for Finch Farm, and strategy and we could have recruited a good DOF , professional development coaches, and improved FF facilities immediately
Year 2 - back Martinez or another young manager / experienced DOF model. Ensure the coaching staff are experienced. Set expectations that we have to overhaul our recruitment, training and club culture, and it might mean we just survive in the Premier League
Year 3 - start signing 2 young stars, 2 established PL players per season.
Year 4 - Europa League qualification, advanced to a final. Stadium planning
Year 5 - Increase spending to more established stars, star manager, spend big minimum 8th place
Year 6 - start integrating youth players and ease on spending minimum 8th place
Year 7 - our homegrown talent and management style should start seeing results 6th - 7th place
Year 8 - 4th - 6th place - we have now qualified for Europe 3-4 times under Moshiri.
Year 9 - move to BMD . 4th - 6th place , can we win a cup soon?
It seems easy in hindsight, but I'm just imagining how a sensible, long-term approach might have panned out.

None of what we did seemed particularly bad at the time though.
You say "it might mean we just survive in the Premier League" in Year 2 but nobody at the club had the patience for that. Everybody wanted to move a mile a minute and it was in that effort of trying to stop the bleeding that the problems started to arise.
