Sabotage from all corners since the beginning.

The funds from Abramovich's club sale are still lying frozen without anything being handed out to war victims.

Fuck the English Goverment who let this happen taking  us our elite goat Don Roman the best owner who loved the club and giving everything to be successful and who dont care about the money when you are successful you will get your money back and give us these elite Clowns from NFL  who love playing 443 . People start to wake up after 3years of the Clownlake smoke but it's too late the damade it's done we are too much in the shit . When you sack your elite gaffer Tommy T and get Potter  it's the first red flag .

As depressing as things are the last couple of months, when you look at the situation at Man Utd, things kinda don't look so bad here.

We aren't far away from what they are doing

Mikel is dead on again, the club has sunk so far and gone that far backwards it's unrecognizable

For the first time in many many years on Friday night I didn't even watch it

It might feel that way but when you really think about it we are miles ahead!

I mean just look at the table and their general situation - genuinely not impossible they'll get relegated

Probably the single worst run club in the world

Now its not much to say we are doing better than the single worst run club in the world, but I look for what little victories I can :')

Our luck has been we had a strong start to the season..if our crumble came earlier we'd be where they are.

It's a mess!! And it doesn't show signs of improving.

Form comes and goes!

Or in their case, it just goes

If the board sack Maresca I will lose all faith as it will show they have no clue what they are doing. 

They need to put their money where their mouth is. We sacked Poch to get him because he is the coach for the project. 

And at at time when things go bad you can't abandon ship as there will never be any continuity. 

[Special Juan 28,146]

We need to stop using the term project, there is no project here, it's scatter gun, pin the tail on the donkey total and utter dog shit, that's what it is.

Whether it's Maresca, Poch, Tuchel and so on and so on it simply doesn't matter, if you keep losing and not doing they will sack you, project or no project. People say it will revert us back to square one....yeah but what does that matter we are not going to be consistent anytime soon, the players are too young and most of all shite and we are being told it's a team for the future, but in the meantime please on us accept mediocrity and getting our arses handed to us by mid table fodder twice in a week called fucking Brighton, the club we are trying to fucking be.

Their is no footballing project.. it’s a load of bollocks.. only money is the project here.

I don't buy that tbh. Wouldn't have spent £100m on Caicedo and Enzo if that was the objective - we'd have a cap to never spend more than £40m or something on players who's value could double or triple - and basically just clone Brighton's approach entirely

The sad thing is there IS a project here, that is ultimately about trying to build and run a long term sustainable top club that competes on all fronts.

The execution of that project has been quite shameful, but I think the intent is very clear.

Totally disagree. 
 
Enzo and Moises were to appease the fans. They threw in a few big money purchases to throw us off their scent and divert us from their true intentions.. after what we are witnessing this season.. there is no convincing me and many others that these fuckers actually care about winning.

[Vytis33 1,276]

Those big buys also came to a screeching halt once the financial loophole of extended year contracts was closed.  Lately they’ve been content making a few bucks selling Angelo and Casedei and then using creative accounting with Atletico and Villa transactions.  All while completely forgoing a shirt sponsor apparently

Haha, agree to disagree then. If it is fan appeasement they're trying for they're certainly doing a poor job! 

I think they were all bought out of desperation to turn around results. We were trying to save Potter's reign for the Enzo signing and instead of walking away when we got quoted silly money we just went for it - because they thought it might turn the season around. Turned out to do fuck all.

I think they really do care about results and trying to have us compete (even if only because winning and being in CL, getting to finals etc all generate revenue and increase brand value) - and are no doubt embarrassed at what a shit job they've done, and how much money they've wasted. Now all of the money that was available to invest has been burnt through and the additional cash injected has largely spent on a bunch of dross

We've actually bought a bunch of players since they took over that will only realistically ever be sold at a loss - Fofana, Caicedo, Enzo, Mudryk, Sterling, Pedro Neto, Sanchez, etc etc etc etc

They've just spent really badly and many of the "established" players they bought were horrendous duds and have over corrected in the other direction imo

Hopefully over the long term we can find a happy medium as they get more experience in "soccer"...

If Caicedo & Enzo’s fees weren’t going to be paid over 7/8 years like they are (was the massive argument behind why signing them for those fees was a great idea) then we wouldn’t of done it. Same with Mudryk. 100% convinced by that. And even then irrespective of the fees and structures we overpaid for all 3 still. Not only that - will they ever be worth £115m, £106m and £72m? Absolutely unconvinced although Caicedo looks much better than he did this time last season. 

Either way the project has been a shambles. And people cannot disagree or defend the indefensible now - people argued the owners put their money where their mouth was, that Tuchel was at fault, that Poch was at fault, that the recruitment would set us up for best part of a decade…. can remember reading on here that a MF of Enzo, Caicedo and Lavia would be of the best in the PL and Europe before Caicedo and Lavia even kicked a ball for us 🙄🤣

I have been vocal about this ownership and the structure they’ve put in place since they sacked Tuchel - the downwards spiral has been wild and absolutely self inflicted through incompetency at every level. I would say recruitment has been our biggest and most consistent issue since that first summer window under Boehly-Clearlake and it is still our biggest and most consistent issue… I mean who is greenlighting us signing players like Felix (TWICE!!!!), Sancho, Jorgensen, Disasi, Tosin….
