HINDSIGHT THOUGH LAD!!!
5 years later its still HINDSIGHT THOUGH LAD!!!
Moshiri is an absolute joke, partnered by that other joke Kenwright and who are partnered with their joke Brands and a CEO who let's not forget a few years ago saying our aim was to be competing for Leagues and CL.....an absolute embarrassment of a statement.
They rolled the dice, spunked 450m firmly believing the likes of Bolasie, Tosun, Klassen, Iwobi, Gylfi would have us pushing for the top 4.
It's laughable when you actually write it down that in the last 5 years we've had Allardyce and Benitez overseeing this club lol

The problem is there are 4 types of owners:
1. The shrewd one that spends
2. The foolish one that spends
3. The shrewd one that doesn't spend
4. The foolish one that doesnt spend
We arguably have number 2 but if you throw the dice and chase him out you only have a 1/4 chance of getting in that Leicester type we all dream about and equally have as much chance of getting a version of Moshiri that doesn't spend taking over that puts us in a worse position!
Yes you could get a "shrewd" owner in who doesn't spend much and keeps us financially sound on paper but is it any better if we have loads of FFP wiggle room to only be sat saying "if only he would put his hand in his pocket and get us that "x" player" that we were saying for a decade under Kenwright?
We all sit here wanting the best owner and the best manager but so does everyone else!

We are here as we backed Carlo big to take us to next level. Go back to that summer when we got in those players, hand on heart would you not have tried given the manager? We went all in to get European football and bar from the colossus end of season collapse we would have got there. It didn't work and left us hamstrung but it's only for this season and if not at worst next and we'll be able to spend again. It's not like that's it we aren't spending anymore we just have to be clever about it, which is what people are complaining we didn't do to start with. So what's the problem.

Genuinely wouldn’t rule out Allardyce turning up again you know when we’re in the brown stuff come December and this nut job panics again, then goes chasing managers he has no chance of getting like Simeone (LOL remember that one)

Five years ago if someone told me allardyce and benitez would manage us I would have laughed them out of the place

Why were we going so all out for Europa League qualification for one season though? Like what was the end game there? Job done for finishing 6th one season? Where’s the sustained plan for growth and long term success? A club like ours needs that plan, we need to be run sensibly and within our means.

I think we will only be able to spend next season if we sell maybe Richy or dcl and to be honest is there anyone at the club that can be trusted to reinvest it well
the problem is we've spent £450m and don't have an awful lot to show for it. That money isn't coming back, and yes Moshiri may be persuaded to spend more, but I can't see it being much more. We are now almost wholly reliant on Benitez pulling about five rabbits out of the hat over the next 18 months.

Because if you get European football then the next season you generate more income to be able to give you more bandwidth to spend again. Remember we only got 12 points from our last 12 games, we didn't just blow 6th we could have made it to the CL.

Eventually they will leave, perhaps the idea was for one to have already gone? We are not in the know to the grand plan, there will be one as much as it looks like from the outside there isn't. The Walsh years screwed us and we only just jettisoned the likes of Bolasie, it appears the decks are being cleared to get the headroom to spend more again.
People can't blame them until it becomes clear they are doing a Mike Ashley. There are reasons why we can't spend now and that means more ingenuity has to take place and we as a fan base should embrace that. We can't moan that they waste on these big money signings and then when they stop, blame them for not making these signings.
It was never as easy as going into a shop and picking 11 world class players who would instantly gel, we weren't in the right place to start with to attract those names. We've tried established stars (Ajax's captain, Rooney, Williams, Siggy, Allan, James) we've tried the hottest young talent (Kean/Vlasic/Lookman/Godfrey) and it all appears the same. We as a fanbase have to hold our hands up as part of this. We've pushed for more signings, we've run out of patience with the managers and the owner has responded. Until we get someone to last a few seasons here we will have a team with no identity.
100% mate it'll be Fergusons job to turn down if Benitez gets chucked.
If he didn't want it then yeah, they'd turn back to Allardyce and that wouldn't or shouldn't be a surprise to anyone
Same mate.
We are not everyone else. I'm not arsed about everyone else , I don't support "everyone else".
I don't want "the best owner". We don't need the "best owner" It's not about having "X" amount and putting hands in pockets.
It's about having a plan, surrounding yourself with people who can achieve and execute the plan.
We have absolutely nothing to suggest anyone from the tea lady upwards understand what they're doing or what is expected.
