His odds are drifting, thankfully.

I think Moshiri is a loose cannon and capable of just about any appointment.

I wouldn't rule it out as a short term measure.

 

[Bluecranks]

I'm horrified if this is true. I can only assume, no pray, that it would be a short-term, 'safe pair of hands' appointment and they've got somebody really, really stellar lined up for the summer. I hope they put a "no jogging pants tucked in socks" clause in his contract.

..I wonder if he’s battling on a number of fronts, Dave. There might be a boardroom division between Bills and Moshiri’s camp being fought out.

1. Take a peek at the thread starter.

2. His record of manipulating odds in a weak market is pretty decent.

3. Clueless journos/bookies/punters for some reason still read us.

3-0 defeat in the Derby? I would take that right now.

Remember all the optimism we were filled with Washy and all the trouble we went to when we were in China, just so we could listen to it on the radio, only to hear us lose 5-0. Great memories lol

I remember just last summer how all talk was that Moshiri had the club in his hands and was the undisputed power in the land.

How things have changed in a few months. He looks for all the world now like he's being dictated to and cant control events.

I'm sure he will get his own way on the manager search and recruitment, but I dont trust his judgement if target A disappears. I can see him making a really rash decision if Silva isn't secured.

Unsavoury.

Sort of smacks of someone who has gained wealth, gained influence gained power on the shirt tails of another and when their time comes to use them isn’t quite up to it.

He was a kid let loose in a sweet shop with someone else's cash. He's made all the wrong choices and is spewing up in the gutter...and everyone's pointing and laughing at him.

Does look like that

We just seem to be wanting to poach someone else's manager mid-season, which rarely works when your club is a mess, and there is probably no money left. Its pretty easy to see this club is a disaster that can't be fixed on a whim. Only a rat like Rednapp would be interested.

Tbf, I think Moshiri/Usmanov are trying to get a manager from the highest shelf available to us. However, I really dont think he is a football man or capable of keeping cool under pressure (look at the way he reacted to transfer reversals running out an garbling some face saving BS). I can see us missing out on target A and going back for a Dyche or Allardyce.
