Angus 'happily dissatisfied' Kinnear

Why hire these people if Moyes is having the final word? This is like the head chef deciding the customers coming into the restaurant are not good enough.

“Get them tramps oot”

Well, using your analogy, but correctly - Its like hiring sous chefs etc to support a head chef.

That's why he was so supportive of kenwright, because despite limited funds kenwright afforded him full autonomy in most recruitment situations except when those Chinese players were foisted on the club due to kenwright's wacky business deals.

They had a symbiotic relationship founded on mutual preservation. Kenwright needed someone who could spin, if not gold, bronze from straw. Moyes, as you say, had job security, low expectations, and footballing autonomy within the narrow parameters of Kenwright's financial largesse.

Clutching at straws tbh. The club lost Thelwell and Purdy because of Moyes who recruited James Smith to replace them. He clearly refused a lot of players, and selected others. Ultimately he’s responsible for the summer transfers.

Yes, we’d been signing absolutely brilliant players for the 12 years Moyes wasn’t here..

Strawman argument.

So if the CEO just went out and hired Moyes mate and has ceded control of all recruitment to Moyes and everyone says it's crap does the CEO deserve to be criticized for those decisions?

Or do we just blame Moyes for everything and call it a day?

We blame Moyes and call it a day. Because it was Moyes who wanted this set up, Moyes who agreed the set up and recruited his main man for the key role in his set up.

Not according to the CEO himself it wasn't.

Time to shine with Grealish injury.

I see this wonderful recruitment team he's put together hasn't found a single signing to offer Moyes this window.

Angus and his pals don't work January

 

[James Roberts]

Joe kinnear would do a better job

Could be the exact opposite.

Kinnear said Moyes rejects 90% of signings put forward to him.

I know what view i believe.

 

[Bazlar]

Joe kinnear would do a better job

Roy Kinnear would do a better job

Yes I'm looking forward to him being blamed because we didn't sign anyone

That is a terrible analogy, it's more like the head chef having the final say on the ingredients they are going to cook with. If the owner of the restaurant insists on buying inferior produce the chef is likely to rightly say "I can't make a gourmet meal with that rubbish, if you want fine dining bring me the ingredients I need". Well unfortunately we can't afford fine dining right now so Moyes is trying to make the best of the ingredients he has creating something palatable.

You blame Moyes for the decisions. You blame the CEO if they fail over a longer stretch of time.

No, he didn't, someone on here made that up and it's caught fire.
