So I regularly see comments about these " specialists " who couldn't join last summer because contractual obligations elsewhere.

Does anyone actually know who's these people are and what they are accountable for ?
Nice work if you can get it.

Football Leadership & Executive Team.

They brought in a manager that divided the fan base from the start. Nothing to do with entitled. It's just football. Very few managers who get so long at a club without winning anything or doing well against the main rival will be popular

Wouldn't a rebuild have been much smarter with a less polarising manager?

They bought it a manager who they thought would stand the best chance of protecting their asset from relegation AND starting the rebuild.

That was Moyes ( at that time )

Too many chefs
 
Honestly, yeah? He was using Usmanov's money to prop up the club. When that went I guess they had to scramble "a bit" lol
I just find it wild to give credit to the previous owner for managing to find a loan shark to prop up his own business failings. The points deductions, the failing to comply with financial regulations, the hundreds of millions wasted on poor players and managers are all down to him.

These current owners may not be setting the world alight but they've cleaned up the biggest financial mess in our clubs history. They have much more to do to be considered good owners though.
 
TFG seem to work silently in the background, many debts cleared, people have been appointed, new business partners and associations come on board. They got rid of Dyche and brought Moyes in.

It's not all bad. Trouble is we have nothing tangible. Other clubs appear better run, play better football and make much better progress and quicker to boot. No time for patience when we've been waiting patiently for decades.

In the unlikely event USA got sanctioned by the UK this ownership would be in the same position, Moshiri was ruined because his business was with Russia.
 
He made loads of rubbish decisions but things he couldn't control caused a lot of the issues.

Hopefully the Freidkins will bother to come to a game one day? They couldn't care less, they're trying to make a profit.
If the Freidkins went on Talksport and said "howdy Jim!" Would that make it up? Cos that seems to be how they're being judged right now.
 
They had to try and settle club down and give us a base to build on, and they done that. They may have been restricted to do more than they did.
They spent more on wages for a player than any previous chairman did, they also supported the recruitment team with big money for a teenager. They brought a manager in who looks up and not down. They have improved the club massively commercially, and have managed to bring in events we’ve never ever done before. They’ve done well so far, the next 12/18 months will show what their true long term intentions are.

Unfortunately for them we have an entitled fan base who have no sense of reality.
The last thing we are as a fanbase is entitled. Sure we’re inpatient but 30+ years without a trophy and just treading water in the league tends to do that. As for supporting the recruitment team by signing Dibling, what goods that done? The lad has hardly played all season and clearly isn’t fancied by the manager, just goes to show that there’s absolutely no cohesion in their ‘strategy’.

I’d previously thought TFG were doing a decent job and anyone saying Roma are their golden goose was being a bit of a conspiracy theorist. However, them finishing 3rd in Serie A whilst we plundered to a 13th place finish is starting to make me wonder if they do have any ambitions to get us to the top.

Every one of them is terrified of Moyes.
They're not asking hard questions.
Moyes is a dictator, he'll buzz of that firm.
