I don't see Adnan being made a scapegoat and neither should Quinn be, despite your hatred of him. Is it because he used to play for City? Bit unnecessary for you to slag him off the way you do on here in my opinion.

If Januzaj can't handle adverse conditions then he's not much use as a footballer, I'm sure he'll be fine here. Not like he's going to be emotionally scarred by anything more than his own poor performances.

Just my opinion mate, no need to wet your knickers over it, we're all different.

You mean like you wet yours when you saw someone daring to criticise a United player, so you lashed out where you thought you'd get a reaction?

Get them changed mate your seat's soaked.
 
I've mentioned this a few times, Tees. Good thread.

All he has done is signed players form the North West and wasted double the money that Allardyce spent. Allardyce done 10x the business Moyes has done. It may be a blessing in disguise he isn't being handed big money. I remember he signed a player when at Everton for about 14m and he turned out to be absolute ****e, think he was either Russian or Ukrainian. For a football man, his knowledge on players worldwide seems to be very, very limited.

He has had more than long enough to get his tactics across, yet 6 months later, we still don't know what he's trying to do. His interviews are very negative and his demeanour is very negative. He's been unlucky with injuries, but overall I haven't been impressed with him. 3/10

I'd keep him when we go down, as I think he'd do well in the Championship on a minimum budget, but I'd get shot of him if we come back up.

I get both sides of this. I simply don't like people because they are ex mags. Fact of life.

At the same time, though. Quinn saved us from slipping down the leagues even further and turning into a nothing club. He came in when we were rock bottom of the Championship and brought big investment, first with Drumaville and then with Ellis Short. We have had the best players here in my lifetime, before him even when we went to the top division, we still had and were signing championship players, and we have had the longest run in the top division. Quinn was the main man responsible for all of this. Of course we are going to worship him, mate. Not forgetting he also was a cracking player for us, as well.

It's funny because you're describing your reaction to criticism of Januzaj but you lack the self awareness to realise it.

100%

Quinn is woven into the very fabric of SAFC....I guess only someone who isn't truly connected with our club wouldn't "get it"

WTF ar you even talking about, the hypocrisy is incredible.

If I lost my **** every time somebody threw Adnan under the bus I'd be kicking off every 30 seconds on here, I was chatting with Tees and I merely implied his poor performances will inevitibly lead to him being a scapegoat for some, but many will continue to refuse to acknowledge the bigger picture, which IN MY OPINION sits at the feet of Quinn and Short.

You can have your opinion, you soft tart, I'm definitely not bothered by anybody saying things about Adnan, but you won't gag me, not a chance will I pander to people who cannot have their heroes criticised. I feel sorry for you for your levels of coping with this, imagine if you were a scouser and I was talking about Steven Gerrard, you'd be sectioned.

I completely get all of that, but it doesn't mean he's qualified to do everything. I'm not asking you lot to slag him off, or soil his name, I'm just pointing out that he was the wrong appointment. You're probably staring down the barrel of liquidation right now, and some people are still refusing to acknowledge that Quinn (who put many of these silly contracts in place that are killing your club) is even partially responsible.

Was he fit to chair your company? No.

Being a hero doesn't excuse him of his inability to perform a task.

Fergie picked Moyes, does his record as manager excuse him of that? Does it ****, the bloke made a huge mistake.
 
I appreciate the fact his hands are tied with regards to what team he can pick due to our injuries. Our first choice midfield should be Catts, Kirchoff and NDong with McNair as 4th choice, instead of playing Seb, Jack and Denayer (who should be playing cb with Kone).

One thing that is bugging me though and I think Moyes has alot to answer for is how HE spent the little money he had available.

NDong 13.5m
PAPY 8M
McNair 4.5m
Love 2.5m

= 28.5m.

Some people keep harping on about how he didnt have alot of time to plan who he wanted to buy etc, but that is a shocking way to blow 28.5m in my opinion when you look at that list of players.
He then followed that up by singing Denayer (decent player),Manquillo and Januzaj on loan who have both been awful.

We also still only have 1 Leftback in our squad and he looks like hes on his way.

NDong and Papy were coming with Sam in charge. McNiar and Love were 5m combined which is peanuts. Not Moyes fault. The bulk of the Money went on Sam's top targets.
 
I just had a quick look on Ssn and it says 6m. Even so thats still about 27m spent and 2 loan signings (i wont include Denayer), spent on players that have made no impact on our team whatsoever?

McNair and Love probably will end up decent players especially if/when we go down, but we needed players to come in and make an instant impact, we dont have time to nurish players, our squads too weak.
Same goes for Ndong. Hes only 22 and very raw. It beggers belief that we spend 13.5m on him!

Because although 13.5m seems a lot to us, recent inflation means that's peanuts too.
 
The issue is for me, is the plan to stick with Moyes no matter what happens?

I can't see anything other than three defeats in our next three games and the Moyes out calls will grow stronger.

We really need Bain or Short to come and back their man publically and try and get the fans back on board.

Given our injuries and lack of January investment I'm almost resigned to relegation but it's a hell of a project next year for whoever is manager.

We get the parachute payments and if we get what we should for Pickford Kone and others we could have the biggest budget in years to build a team from the ground up around some good youngsters in Gooch Asoro Honeyman Watmore etc.

Plus the wage bill will be pretty much wiped clean.

Don't want to go down but long term I think it could benefit us.

Wishfull thinking marra. Short wants to sell the club, if we go down every penny we recoup will go towards debt imo.

So was M'Villa.

Moyes did have some say in these things and commented in a press conference (early on) that M'Villa was a possibility but he would be looked to see if there were better options available.

N'dong is only 22 and has shown enough (in my eyes) to suggest he could be decent. £13.5m decent? It's hard to say what kind of quality or potential that sort of money really buys now to be honest. My main issue is why he was brought in on 31st August if he was being lined up sooner, it isn't just missing the first few games of the season it's missing pre-season and then not being given time to get up to speed. You may not see the real player until next season now.

For £28m (or whatever it was) has he improved your squad and/or first team? Well are N'Dong and Papy improvements on M'Villa and Kaboul? I'd say no not particularly. £28m is not what it once was though...

It might turn out to be a decent price anyway, I mean he's been alright hasn't he? For his age and being throw in at the deep end in a pretty poor side I've been fairly happy with him and can see his potential.

Seems that's a unanimous vote.

I'm not certain but it says two season long loans domestic allowed, is there no option to add a 3rd since it's not a full season? I've brought this up a few times now, nobody seems to know and it doesn't bother me enough to go and look myself.

I'd like him back too, to be honest, I'd rather he was back with our kids than involved in the toxicity that your club owner has created. He'll be used as a scapegoat, but your old man hit the nail on the head for me, the two that deserved fingered for all of this mess is Quinn and more so the owner.

Blaggin' it, is exactly what Quinn attempted to do as chairman, he's not qualified, never will be, he's found his level now, chatting **** on TV.

Perhaps a little brutal for the happy clappers to swallow, it's just my observation, doesn't necessarily mean anything does it?

Yeah I'd be happy for him to go so he's not adding to the toxicity of the club. The lad is a waste of space. Pure fraud of a footballer.

M'Vila pulled out of the deal though so that null and voids that. He clearly got a better offer.

He's not done too well has he, Moyes seems to think otherwise but he's certainly not suited to a scrap, he doesn't have that sort of mentality.

He's got no chance here now, I'd hazard a guess he'll be behind Angel Gomez next season too.

France beckons I assume.

We got almost £90m for some of our trash in the summer (then blew more than half of it on some newer and lesser known trash) and agreed another £12m(ish) for Thauvin too!

You just need to convince Levy that Khazri is utterly amazing somehow.

The issue you have which we don't (as Bri keeps correctly referring to) is that you've got chunks of money going out for players you already have but haven't paid for. I really don't want you guys to go down as I'm far from convinced that money made from sales will be available to plough back in.

I still support both those signings tbo, Papy has given some outstanding performances next to Kone this season. Ndong needs time. I can see what Sam has seen in them and why Moyes decided to go with his targets. I mean Moyes had no time to asses the squad, He's have been buying blind without those scout reports as Sam will have tailored his searches for our squad and situation. Overseas players need time to adjust to an alien league and it never guaranteed the will. We've clearly not had near the budget to buy prem experience for inside the league which is what we needed.

Budget considered I only see one signing that baffles me and that's the loan of Januzaj. Don't get what Moyes sees in him.
 
Nuts didn't mean to attach that file. Ah well.

As for M'Villa he didn't pull out in the summer did he? Anyway it's no matter now I just don't think Moyes utilised the limited funds he had at his disposal very well. In fairness I though Crystal Palace did some grand business (Remy, Benteke, Townsend, etc.) and they're in the ****e too so what do I know.
