Farhad Moshiri

[Goat]

Turnover actually went down in the last published accounts mate, when you subset it down our revenue increases in line with tv deal increases rather then being organic, we significantly trail CL teams and even some mid table PL teams on area like, sponsorship, corporate hospitality and commercially broadly. Huge scope in the business for improve,ent, growth and new revenue.

As well as the above other individual mistakes in my opinion are:

We fluffed two summer transfer windows armed with a decent kitty and are hoping to avoid relegation.

We spent North of 120 mill on players, 40 odd net and got worse.

We sold Lukaku.

We sold Lukaku with no replacement in the door.

We have spent over 20 mill hiring and firing managers, we currently don’t have a full time one and it was been that way for a month, via 4 pl games and also got knocked of Europe and the League Cup.

The board is ultimately responsible.

Most of these are footballing decisions that "SOMEBODY got wrong, I did say footballing decisions have been questionable, but for thing, Moshiri is "new" to this business, his involvement at Arsenal was minimal to say the least, so the only thing hes got wrong is putting his faith in the wrong men.

Im not sitting here with my head in the sand, mistakes have been made, but for me, they are amplified by our current plight and can be fixed in the next few months, unless of course, we go down.

Many top clubs all across Europe employ a DoF successfully, many clubs go through a few of them before they find 1 that works, now clearly theres been a few teething problems, but a vast amount of Managers these days prefer working with a DoF, it allows them to focus on footballing matters, so I personally dont consider the DoF model a mistake.

He has clearly made footballing decisions that have been proved to be somewhat questionable, but his "investment" allows us to make a few mistakes.

It’ll be interesting to see what type of spending we’ll do this summer, without an obvious big sale to make e.g. Stones and Lukaku.

Personally I don’t blame Moshiri for our current state mate, although the jury is out, like I say if he has resourced the club and that is the popular narrative, the accounts are due next month and will be interesting. I suspect as part of the share agreement there is a cooling of period to trigger the remainder of the purchase or is planning permission linked. I.e. he can’t change the board until the conditions are met.

I blame the board, p.s. Moshiri isn’t on the board.

Very.

We need a manager Farhad.

Moshiri has been good but he's made some bad moves:

-Appointing steve walsh and keeping him!
-Appointing koeman
-No contingency planning for replacing managers
-Jim White talking piece
-Selling lukaku again without concrete contingency in place
-Keeping bill kenwright
-Promoting bob out of his depth
Elstone
-close to zero net spend if Barkley deal had progressed as planned
- sold stones

Some of these like the management planning is so basic.

Commercially excellent. Football wise diabolical.

At the time a no-brainer
-Appointing koeman

At the time a no-brainer
-No contingency planning for replacing managers
We don't know if this is true. Marco may be his only choice and Watford not playing ball
-Jim White talking piece

This was poor
-Selling lukaku again without concrete contingency in place

Might have been deceived by Koeman
-Keeping bill kenwright

not his choice
-Promoting bob out of his depth
Elstone
-close to zero net spend if Barkley deal had progressed as planned
- sold stones
Not his choice, he wanted to go
Some of these like the management planning is so basic.

I find it frustrating that he appears to be trying to score ego points with the appointment of a new manager, as good as Silva is how could you even think of offering £20m to Watford for him? Utter utter lunacy.

Not to mention this whole leaking of stories about the likes of Diego Someone, it's utterly embarrassing and quite frankly stinks of incompetence. I'm afraid we're going down the same path that Leeds went. Trying to piss money up the wall like it's nothing.

We've got a decent deal with Sportpesa to be fair and they are a fast growing company.

The idiot thinks we’re this huge attractive club just because he can throw a bit (not loads) of money about.

What he fails to realise is that to become attractive we need some actual planning, making proactive moves rather than purely reactionary moves (see Lukaku and sacking Koeman). Let alone some wins on the pitch.

If we don’t look like we’re even trying to progress or win something no one will touch us with a barge pole ie. what’s happening now. And no amount of board members/pundits/ ex players calling us a “project” will change that.

Moshiri has been good but he's made some bad moves:

-Appointing steve walsh and keeping him!
if the remit is now on younger players, OK. But first team players have been adisater

-Appointing koeman
But he sacked him. And he sacked Martinez. Also I think there is something to be said for not rushing into an easy but wrong decision, which Allardyce, Dyche, Hughes would be.

-No contingency planning for replacing managers
True

-Jim White talking piece
I believe owners should not be talking in the press. I like the Abramovich approach

-Selling lukaku again without concrete contingency in place
This is unforgivable

-Keeping bill kenwright
We're not sure what Bill's role is now.

-Promoting bob out of his depth
Elstone
This guy should have been booted out a long long time ago

-close to zero net spend if Barkley deal had progressed as planned
On the other hand, maybe some deals didn't come off

- sold stones
this decision was taken the year before

Some of these like the management planning is so basic.
