What if Moshiri has finally decided he isn’t giving us any more money to waste on crap players, and the premier league’s profitability and sustainability rules are just a convent cover. He may well think that after nearly half a billion invested in the playing side of the club, for no discernible improvement, his money would be better spent pushing Bramley-Moore through.
Just a thought. It really might explain the Benitez appointment though. Maybe he was the only candidate prepared to take on the job when the board told him the financial situation. In fairness to him he does seem to have enough self belief to think he could make it work.
