The fact is if Koeman had us riding high at 6th in the league, what would Dave have a go at then - Stadium happen.

@davek has proved many a folk on here wrong.

his theories are actually on the mark up to this point.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing Dave, Moshiri poached Koeman from a livid Soton and it was seen as a massive coup for us to get him by all watching.

Moshiri acted with the best intentions for this football club, as he did when he poached Walsh, in order for us to complete at the top, he thought Walsh was the man to identify top players yet to make a name for themselves, as he did at Leicester which won them the title.

As I said, he acted with the best of intentions to make us more successful on the pitch.

I have no idea why you have this agenda against Moshiri, it's laughable.

That's ok, he acted with the best intentions. I can accept that. His actions have been disastrous though. People have to take responsibility for their actions.

exactly. some of his statements up to now have been utterly worrying, and he has to stand by what he says.

thing is, they seem to be getting more baffling!

Which actions Dave?

Why because results are bad? Ok

Which actions Dave?

Signing Koeman
Failing to control the spending of a manager clearly overspending
Sanctioning a deal with USM for FF that has triggered the interest of investigators
Having no replacement lined up for a manager he sacked thus deepening the crisis

Add in the uneccessary imposition of a clueless and ineffective DoF.

Oh no you won't do that as it harms your anti Koeman agenda which blinds you to the fact that he may have been a reasonable manager put in a very difficult position.

The only thing that triggered the interest investigators is us having money, the USM deal is if anything less of a fix than the many "investments" in and around Man City that serve to cover up the amount of money being spent.

As for Koeman, he (Moshiri) deserves criticism for allowing so much money to be spent in order to put blocks in the way of our most promising youth products, and for appointing him in the first place, but he also deserves credit for acting so quickly to end a situation where there was zero sign of change / improvement / an acknowledgement that there was a problem.

He put himself in a very difficult position, by not taking responsibility at any point, for the absolute disaster that this season has become.

He wasn't a reasonable manager or person for that matter, however you may choose to dress it up.

He corrected his own mistake.

I say "corrected" advisably because we dont know who he'll bring in...and most of us dont trust him to get the right man.

To be fair overspending against what you claimed would have been an almost negative net spend had Barkley gone last minute, iirc, the USM deal isn't known to be the trigger for an investigation, by journalists, even if it is, it's not like it's been done surreptitiously, and again, supposition on the manager bit, no one knows if there was a replacement lined up that we've had to wait for.
It isn't hyperbole, but it is excited conjecture.

 

[Grfirestorm]

Koeman was the best manager available at the time and getting rid of the Spanish fraud was a good move. However Koeman had been banging on about a striker for months, Moshiri must have asked to see options from Walsh. The mess we are in is caused significantly by not having any goal threat or target man. So if there is any blame, that is for me were criticism lies.

Grown on me a bit there.
