The Moshiri Years; A Litany of Wasted Millions

[Blast_of_Cannock]

At least with Martinez we were always "phenomenal". Even when the rs we're beating us 4-0.

The separation of Moshiri from Alisher Usmanov is itself a tale of what might have been.

I like to think that if Usmanov had remained involved, we could've wasted money on a much vaster scale.

We did go crazy, net spend doesn’t really come into it. Hes blown north of £500m on mainly dross.
Palace haven’t spend anywhere near that regardless of player sales.

Well apparently Palace’s net spend in that time period is £322 million - and they have had big sales like Wan Bissaka and Bolasie, so it seems they have..

The litany of catastrophic mismanagement.

This is the transfer spend for both teams since 2016/17 aka ‘The Moshiri Years’ according to transfermarket.co.uk

	Palace	Everton
23/24	€38.7	€40.5
22/23	€44.6	€78.2
21/22	€85.62	€39.5
20/21	€22.4	€74.37
19/20	€7.6m	€121
18/19	€11.85	€99.8
17/18	€55.95	€202.2
16/17	€101.2	€86
Total	€347.94	€741.57

We may have netted out at similar levels (cba checking), but imho, that’s not really a hiding place for the unbridled profligacy of the last 8 or so years.
We have spent far more than Palace under Moshiris reign.
Net spend (or the table above) also doesn’t account for probobly close to £100m on compo for sacked manager either.

Everyone watching the under 21 Euros to scout him was a highlight. When he scored and people started flapping about Atletico Madrid coming in for him, then it escalated to Dortmund, and then Real Madrid.

TBF, he scored a lot of goals for Malaga against good La Liga opposition and I thought he was a great signing. I still can't
work out why he failed here.

…still a huge waste of money.

Be interesting to see a list of players who have run down their contracts during the Moshiri era because of the extraordinary deals the club has given them. It’s not just poor signings, it’ll include the likes of Tom Davies and almost certainly Holgate and Keane. Waste, waste, waste.

We’ve wasted a shed load of money, no doubt about that. But it’s still a comparable spend to other teams of our stature. If you look at say Villa or West Ham. And way behind all of the top 6.

Not defending the shocking waste btw, just pointing out we were never spending at City levels like some make out.

Nobody has any idea what was down to Brands or Walsh, I do think Thellwell has more "power" than either of them had, but im pretty sure he still has people above sticking their snout in.

Think you’re correct on Kev, most likely due to Moshiri no longer being able to fund vanity / Kia stitch ups, so by default he’s being left try to sort it out.
I do suspect even in our current position if we had another salmon of a transfer out (ie Branthwaite for say £80m) Mosh would come out of the woodwork with a ‘recommendation’ for someone like a Luke Shaw / Maguire for £60m / £150k per week…… he can’t help himself and has shown no sign of learning anything from his previous.

Was the wages and contracts that were the killer, rather then anything else and beyond transfer fees

Not just players either, managers, DOF's etc - in a way its still going on we dropped £7.5 mill on removing the board in the summer and lads are stressing over 10 mill for Dele Alli - not me.

I dont think the plan was ever to manage us well to be honest.

May well be something in that, I mean if the true source of the funding is per the allegations, spending £1.5b to get a clean return of £900m+ is possibly money well spent in some circles…..

The issue with Sandro was not the fee or the length of contract; it was the £80k a week hike in wages that Steve Walsh thought was a good idea for a player who had 1 decent season

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

But I feel 1 of our biggest issues has been the appointment of very poor managers, which has cost us around 100million in compensation alone.

Which means having to hit the "reset" button every 12months.

Absolutely agree...we are trying to reset and improve the Team Squad by appointing mediocrity as a Manager...the best way to sort the Squad is to appoint a quality manager...
