See stuff like this posted all the time, do not get it me.
Why, if true, wouldn’t anyone fume about Brands running a club properly when we’ve signed Rooney, Sigurdsson and Klaassen in one summer?
If he's looking at making the club sustainable and challenging then that can only be a good thing. It's hard to swallow sometimes, but look at the RS model.
They've spent money, but they've also been shrewd with signatures and their wage expenditure; they've moved dross on for some good fees and freed wages.
If the Allan deal is indeed done, we've got a player that Carlo wants and trusts at a reduced rate from last summer and what Napoli were initially asking for.
Doucouré could be the same if the reports are true. Moshiri, a successful accountant himself, has been willing to fund us well and he's lost a lot on rubbish.
Is that sustainable? Does it bring the results he wants? Arguably it's not on the current evidence of where we are and the status of our current squad.
So why wouldn't he want Brands being astute and shrewd? On the flip side however, if the money is there then the model shouldn't completely shackle Carlo.
We need signings and we need them now, so be shrewd in who we get and what we pay, but don't hustle and bargain too much (and for too long) - a balance.
Anyway, the post is probably pure speculation and a case of Chinese whispers from Donny, 55, sat in the Blob Shop with his mates.

Oh my point was, if it was true, then beating Brands with a stick for doing his job, then it’s just typical of our fans.

I'm not surprised Ancelotti has gone over Brands' head. He must look at the utter tat he's brought in so far and thought "No way I'm being judged poorly and dragged down by his failure to do his job".
I always thought Ancelotti would by-pass this divvy. Yes, he's worked with DoF's before, but clearly he has to have faith in them - and he obviously doesn't have faith in Brands.
...the proof will be whether Brand’s contract is renewed.

It wont be. I feel sure of that. You'd have to ask why Moshiri would commit millions on Brands and place himself in a position where he'd have to cough up compo when he wanted to get shut.
It's less than a year on the present contract. That tells you all you need to know when the club are handing out 5 year extensions to the likes of Keane. .

If not, then who will replce him? Another for Dave to get his knife in?

Scrap the post. It doesn't work and it's not who we are as a club.
The Hatton Gardens gang would be envious of the amount of vaulting that could take place due to the silly season - sorry summer break.
