Joint 12th with Newcastle poised to overtake us.
We need a few more seasons of this.
Why do we want exciting football??
I just have to ask for people who want him to stay: why? What has he shown that makes you see what we have done this season and think, "yeah, another season of going out early in the cups, bottling every single opportunity to push on, not developing any youth players, sticking with the same defensive-first mentality. All of this is good!"
I genuinely don't understand how you can see other team push on and Davey Moyes is still the exact same manager he's ALWAYS been and you still think that keeping with him is the right choice? Not trying to argue, I just don't get it. I understand the absolute crap we've been dealt with since he left last time but keep going back to an ex after the sexy Spaniard decided to take up heroin as a sport, the Dutch lass who always rolled her eyes at even being associated with you, the 18 year old who was in wayyyyy over her head, etc.
It's just kind of crazy that he has support. He's not really done anything fantastic. We finished 12th last year, he blamed not getting Europe as a reason why we didn't get in HIS players, he's most likely not getting Europe again and, yet, we are going to just handwave that he's not responsible for that?

For me, a CEOs job is to obersee all areas/have the right people across all areas of the business. If you say he needs to be sense checking players before agreeing to allow them to come, then my question is why would it be on him to make that ultimate call? What is his experience in football recruitment? Who is he to say, to as you propose, say "actually Moyes, no. You arent having that player" As I say, hes not a director of football. It wasn't long ago he was marketing at Arsenal. Id trust Moyes judgement over his.
Kinnear said not so long ago how Moyes refuses most players brought to him
Kinnear needs to have the right man making calls on recruitment - that's Moyes. If it isnt, change the man, or bring in an actual DOF.
But bloody hell lets not be saying the CEO/Kinnear needs to approve transfers.
I doubt he had a gun put to his head to sign Barry, Aznou or Dibling he could have not signed them and saved the cash for this window.
Still have hopes for the latter two incidently but as I’ve said previously, £40m for Dibling when seeming no one else was in for him only to sit on the bench all season is bonkers.
Even leaving him a Soton on loan for the season would have been more sensible.
