I'm going to defend Moshiri. I don't understand why he's getting the blame for much quite honestly.

He appoints people to oversee the football side of the business because he doesn't pretend to be a football man or to have any knowledge of it. In most cases all he does is sign the cheques and he has signed nothing short of a huge amount of them. Making him the scapegoat is wrong.

I don't think the stadium will ever happen now without Usmanov and the kitty is well and truly dried up. Some big problems for Moshiri to solve going forward, but he can't be to blame for what has happened before even though he had a direct say in who the manager was - likely going on the say so of his director of football.

Here’s my thoughts….

At what point does Moshiri become liable for the crap that has unfolded? I honestly don’t see him being accountable for even a small proportion of what’s unfolded.

For what’s it’s worth I’m sure he kept Kenwright on to guide the club…. It’s been massively misguided. He employed DOF’s and managers to look after everything on the pitch, absolute frauds who’ve managed the team. He pumped 100s of millions into the club.

I just don’t get Moshiri being to blame it’s the inept idiots below him.
 
Poll needs to have a multiple answer option Charles, I'd vote for all of them except Lampard,, because he wasn't here while most of the damage and Croque monsieur, because I like a bit of toasted sarnie. Went for Moshiri, because he is the biggest bell of them all. It was a close run thing though.

Moshiri makes the decisions and it’s widely known he chose Koeman, Silva and Benitez, overruling anyone who disagreed as well as panic buying Iwobi because we couldn’t get the Zaha deal done.
I respect he’s put up serious cash and made the stadium happen but he’s not a football man and should’ve trusted Brands or a football man to do their jobs and choose managers/players.
 
Pretty spot on but I think I’d put Benitez above the players because he binned off two of our best that actually seemed to care about the club, certainly Digne did whatever your feelings on James.
It's close I agree Benitez started our plummet into the mud with his petty decisions removing all the creativity from the team and his grim tactics(like telling the full backs to sit back). But the players haven't pulled it out in many games this season. Do they really give everything? I'd say a couple do. The rest are either not arsed or can't do it, or appear to think they are better than they are.
 
Moshiri gets the lion's share of the blame. The club spent itself into a corner on his watch, with very little to show for it. If he picked the wrong football people, it's on him. If he meddled, it's on him. When you have a majority stake, the buck stops on your desk.

For all of his sins, Kenwright kept us tottering along on his watch. We can blame the last two managers for not being Ancelotti, but what we've seen this season shows the gap between the elite managers and all the rest.
