Re: The Friedkin Group
Think it's safe to say that this is the week that this ownership group has lost the supporters.

Re: The Friedkin Group
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

Re: The Friedkin Group
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.

Re: The Friedkin Group
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 doingBig Nevs Vaz wrote: Wed Sep 02, 2026 5:40 am What’s the story with this lot.

I think thats the truth. I think they are reasonably good, reasonably ambitious owners who take a back seat but have appointed awfullyNickNack wrote: Wed Sep 02, 2026 5:55 am That’s one scenario - the other is they appointed what they thought were competent “football people” to run the club.

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?

Re: The Friedkin Group
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.NickNack wrote: Wed Sep 02, 2026 5:55 am That’s one scenario - the other is they appointed what they thought were competent “football people” to run the club.

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.

Re: The Friedkin Group
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.Big Nevs Vaz wrote: Wed Sep 02, 2026 6:11 am 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.

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.Lazarou II wrote: Wed Sep 02, 2026 6:13 am Ultimately whoever you employ it all comes back to the person calling the shots.

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.

Re: The Friedkin Group
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.Lazarou II wrote: Wed Sep 02, 2026 6:37 am They made numerous mistakes before they stumbled on the present formula at Roma.
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.
