“We have a window to establish ourselves and we’ll do everything we can." Moshiri at the last AGM.

Wasn't the phrasing slightly different to that though Dave?

“We have a position but we do not have all the time in the world. We need to establish ourselves and we have a window to do it. Bill and previous managers kept the club close to the elite for many years but now we need to look at a sustainable base to be among the elite. It takes time but we are committed, that’s why we are here.”

Which isn't really alluding to one transfer window, but more a limited window of opportunity

Yes, i know. It's not the point. The point is, we need to get rid of him.

That is most stupid thing I have heard in a while.

Apart from the fact that the club is totally different now to the way it was two years ago... Moshiri is the majob shareholder already with the option t

An errand boy.

An errant boy.

I just wonder, if the club has ever been worse off.

The Paradise papers, is only the newest issue.

Even under kennwright, there were better times.

If someone own something, it's he's job to make sure it works.
And right now, even the players don't work with eachother.

Ok soo we fired Koeman, but that was not the problem either.
He could have stayed.

It's poor management from the board, that don't understand, that when you replace one part, of an engine, you make sure you have a replacement.

Like Giroud was the only option.

I think the mid nighties were probably a bit worse. Maybe?!?

Don't get in the way of a good story or muck stirring.

Fair enough.

Im only saying, that the club has not been in a worse state, since . . ?

Let's keep him.

I think timescale is important here.
As fans we want everything done immediately, but it isn't always that simple.
Tempting RK away from Southampton was not easy and was not cheap, it didn't work out but that should not take away from the ambition shown to get the man he wanted.

The stadium is similar, it is an enormously complex and costly undertaking and will take time to deliver. We have seen previously with other large stadia like Spurs an Arsenal how long it has taken.

We were promised transfer funds in the summer and we certainly spent lots of money, if it wasn't well spent isn't the responsibility of Moshiri.
I do believe in time we will see that most of the signings we good value for money..a couple maybe not so.

The next test is the appointment of a new manager and that also will be interesting.

The key principles document was supposed to be published two months ago.

Nothing.

That was the context I was using.

Nine months later we're fighting for survival.

I don't want to be disrespectful , but the club is very far from the worst state it has been . The reverse is true in fact.

Undoubtedly we have had a very poor start to the season and I do think that maybe our funds could have been more widely invested in the summer, but , in spite of this we could quite easily still finish in the same league position as we did last seson given a reasonable run of form

We are not crippled with large debt and low income as we were for so many years of the last twenty.

We have a lot of very talented young players.

We have a new stadium on the horizon.

There are plenty of reasons for optimism and some poor performances and results should not stop us looking at the bigger picture.

 

[People75]

Ok. Good points.

I like to chime in, with some of the more negative sides, of our situation.

First, the Paradise papers.

Then, the fact that the people running things, has orcastrated the team, in such a way, our formation is banana shaped. Playing sideways, when playing at all.

Buying all new players, for almost all positions, yet, still need to rely on homegrown u23, and Niasse, who were wrongly treatet.

We did make a huge credit loan, from a chinese bank, for reasons unknown, if we are well off, like you sugest.

A new stadium, is hardly happening, as long as we risk regulation. Besides that, i think Moshiri is carefull, where he puts he's money, while the "Paradise papers" are not yet being disclosed.

And i see no hope, in ending above 10th, without a class striker

Honestly though Dave, we aren't fighting for survival, we've just had a really crap start to a season and a manager who lost the plot

I wish we did mate, mate.

 

[BlueStevie35]

WTF are these Paradise Papers?

 

[davek]

Honestly though Dave, we aren't fighting for survival, we've just had a really crap start to a season and a manager who lost the plot

Start? In a couple of games time we'll be a third of the way into the season and we basically fluked that last win we had which has us out of the relegation zone. We have no goalscorers worthy of the name at least until January and the club cant organise a replacement manager.
