With Bill at least you know he has the best intentions of the club at heart.

With Bill at least you know he has the best intentions of the club at heart.
Im starting to doubt this, not when one of your mates gave you your wonga and you spend a big wedge buying into a buisnesss and leave it for over a month without a manager managing the most important part of it
I'd trust Moshiri far more than I'd trust Bill.

... why hasn't Moshiri bought the rest of the shares that will allow him to take full control, supposedly it's just a case of him taking up the option to buy them.
I don't think we know when the options can be exercised mate ( The esteemed @hibbo'sclass might know otherwise ). They might be exercisable at any time, it might be dependent on milestones being reached on a new stadium, or they might just be exercisable from a particular date. My guess, and that's all it is, would be a combination of two and three
My take on this, fwiw, is that Woods and Kenwright didn't want to sell up in one go because they saw the value of holding onto the remainder of their shares for a few years and influence what was happening at the club. Bill, in particular, would want to be "seen" as a "steward of the club" and making sure a new owner was really the "right person" before handing over full control. Bill likes to portray an image of a benign owner who's only got the best interests of the club at heart, but, while there's some truth in that, I'm pretty sure the reality is a little bit different
Anyway, in reality, Moshiri has full control and, though it would be messy, he could remove Bill from a position of influence at any time ( well, it's take a little while, but effectively any time ) he wanted ... he'd be very reluctant to do that, because it'd be hugely disruptive, but, if he needs it, it's the ace up his sleeve.
Now there's an axis of evilIt all depends on who is the one that is supporting Walsh and all this Shakespeare / Allardyce crap
Think that was always going to be a problem, Kenwright finding it hard to fully let go of the train set.
Heard from an Echo journo (via a friend) that it's Moshi who wants Sam, as he's terrified of losing the money he has spent should we go down.
Kenwright doesn't want him anywhere near the club.
