Do worry that these guys don’t know how to run a football club in the modern age.
Been constant fallings out and strife with managers at Roma.
Doesn’t feel like Moyes and whatever our recruitment department is see eye to eye either.

London-listed CMC Markets scores £30m Everton shirt deal as betting ban looms
CMC Markets, the London-listed financial services group, has struck a near-£30m deal to sponsor Everton Football Club as Premier League teams face up to a looming ban on gambling company deals.
Sky News has learnt that Everton and CMC Markets, which is run by Lord Cruddas, the former Conservative Party treasurer, have signed a deal in recent days.
It comes weeks after Sky News revealed that CMC was in discussions about front-of-shirt deals with Everton and Fulham from the start of next season.
The company is now said to be close to signing an agreement with the London club.
Everton is currently sponsored by Stake.com, which was reported last year to be leaving the UK online gambling market following a regulatory probe into its marketing activities.
Fulham, meanwhile, are sponsored by SBOTOP, another online gaming company.
Sports industry sources said the deals were aimed at aiding CMC Markets' brand-building efforts as it strives to create a financial services 'super-app'.
In its interim results announcement last November, CMC highlighted plans to launch a multi-asset platform enabling customers to trade shares, derivatives, ISAs, SIPPs and other products on a single platform.
Significantly, the two deals come as more than a third of top-flight clubs seek new shirt sponsors ahead of the voluntary ban on gambling deals coming into effect from the 2026-27 season.
In recent weeks, Brentford has announced that recruitment website Indeed will adorn its shirts from the beginning of the next campaign, while Bournemouth's stadium sponsor, Vitality, will replace gambling company Bj88 in August.
One football insider said that CMC had identified Fulham and Everton as ideal sponsorship targets because of the demographic profile of their fan bases and the company's strong performance in London and the north-west.
Originally a financial spread-betting company, CMC has diversified into a broad-based financial services provider, which has made Lord Cruddas - an Arsenal supporter - one of the wealthiest people in Britain.
It now has technology partnerships with companies including Revolut, the UK's newest bank, and electrical goods retailer Currys.
While CMC Markets has had associations with other sports assets, it has never backed a Premier League club before.
In recent years, gambling companies have become the most prolific sponsors of Premier League clubs' shirts, with the likes of Aston Villa, Brentford and West Ham United all having backers from the industry.
Coventry City, winners of the Championship title, are sponsored by the digital bank Monzo, while the other promotion contenders include Ipswich Town, whose main sponsor is Halo, a software company.
CMC Markets and Everton declined to comment.

Re: The Friedkin Group
A nice simple CMC (as opposed to CMC Markets) should look really good after many years of that god awful Stake logo!
Will be interesting to see how many years that £30m covers though, I doubt very much that's a per season fee

Re: The Friedkin Group
I'm Friedkin out over this potential sponsor.
Surely we could get the Spud Bros from Preston, something non bullshit.
