People need to give this guy a break. Yes he has made mistakes but people need to remember that even though he has been in football for years, they were all spent at Arsenal who had a stable structure and manager throughout his whole time there.

Look at our neighbours when John Henry took over. He appointed Hodgson which then proved to be a terrible decision, the fans turned, it got nasty and he was later sacked. They then appointed Rodgers after Martinez rejected them due to not wanting to work with a DoF (Comolli), who himself was sacked a few years after signing Carroll, Henderson, Downing, Charlie Adam, Borini to name a few. It took them a few years to get it right.

As I have said in earlier posts, most of us were happy when he signed Koeman who had done brilliantly with Southampton and was being linked with the Arsenal and Barca jobs. We were also delighted when he got Walsh from Leicester who was widely praised throughout football for his role in Leicesters League win and ability to spot talent. Fergie called him "the most influential person in the premier league" that year. Moshiri was praised for his ambition and he provided ample backing to Koeman and Walsh, who between them got it totally wrong. Is that Moshiri's fault? No, not at all as he trusted both to spend whatever they felt necessary on players they chose.

The two things I will blame him for are sacking Koeman without a plan in place and appointing Allardyce. However, in his defense, it does appear that he is trying to rectify the situation by bringing Brands and Fonseca in. I do think he has the same ambition as the fans and there will be mistakes along the line, but so is there at every club (Utd with Moyes and Woodward was a farce). I would argue that his next 2 or 3 decisions could be the biggest he's made and if he does manage to bring Fonseca/Brands in it need to be with a view to the next 5+ years.
 

Just the usual media rumours. But you wouldn't expect anything more. It's not like the club are going to confirm they are recruiting a new manager before they sack the current one.

Took us 6 weeks to confirm we had new one after sacking the last one, lets face it!
 
Looks like Moshiri is changing it up across the board. The club are looking for a new PR officer and a new lead creative (basically the person that signs off all the creative media we put out) alongside a new manager, new CEO, new coaching team and a new Chairman potentially. Big shake up due this summer

Not being facetious here but have any of the above positions actually been advertised , and if so where or is it just more journalistic speculation
