Think it's safe to say that this is the week that this ownership group has lost the supporters.

Now we’ll find out how serious they are about us - if heads don’t roll after this transfer window they clearly don’t give a shit

What’s the story with this lot. Another case of how in God’s name did they make their money in the first place.
Are they over stretched or do they just not really care how we do (other than stay in the league). All this disappointed not getting Europe last season is just guff.
We’ve been landed with another set of no marks here.

That’s one scenario - the other is they appointed what they thought were competent “football people” to run the club. Only problem is the people they employed have no fucking clue what they’re doing

I think thats the truth. I think they are reasonably good, reasonably ambitious owners who take a back seat but have appointed awfully

Im absolutely not having it was them who decided to sell Armstrong. Why would they?? Even if we needed the money why would they then decide if its armstrong or Ndiaye?

Well employing idiots to run the day to day is all on them and apparently the main man’s finger prints are all over the Armstrong debacle. It’s their mess.

Ultimately whoever you employ it all comes back to the person calling the shots.

They have got it wrong at Roma numerous times and they have got it wrong here too on multiple fronts.

Oh they're definitely culpable as ultimately they employed the dickheads who are ruining everything. We’ll probably never know exactly what happened over Armstrong - or any of it really other than this transfer window has been a disaster.

Not that wrong at Roma... CL this season and brought in one of the best managers in Italy, praising him away from Atalanta when many had tried.

There's a lot to be angry with at the moment, I get that, but the reality is we are a million times better run than we were under Moshiri and previous. There are huge shortcoming on the footballing front, but securing the business what the first priority... do people remember how close to the brink we were?

A thorough review of the window and what went wrong needs to happen, and we need to learn from those mistakes and put them right at the earliest opportunity. We've got 4 months to get through before we can strengthen the squad, which has to happen now.

They made numerous mistakes before they stumbled on the present formula at Roma.

You say stumbled, but they have made continual progress, including a European cup and another final. Hiccups along the way, sure, but it's disingenuous to suggest they 'stumbled' to their current position.

What the Roma situation shows more clearly is that patience is needed, because football is messy and turbulent.

I'm not absolving blame, I just think it's a bit mad to want them out and comparing them to Moshiri's madness.

We've gone from wanting managers changed at the drop of a hat to wanting the club sold because of a bad transfer window. It's a wee bit bonkers.
