Mind you l did warn you all to be carful for what you wish for

I was always careful for wishing Moyes was sacked and that we went for Emery at the time. Unfortunately Villas Board are far more ambitious than Sullivan who resists stumping up any compo. We then compounded it further by missing the boat on Glasner who was out of work at the same time we continued limping on with Moyes till his contract finally ran out.

Moyes wasn't sacked as finished contract

Next we finish 14th under Potter. Now under Nuno we are floundering at 18th with relegation staring right at us. Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing?

Or maybe the board should have backed Moyes after he won the trophy, the way they did Lopi 12 months later and seen if we really could have progressed forward. 

 

To be fair, money was spent. Kudus, Alvarez, JWP and Mav all came in. Trouble was that the money was in retrospect spent very poorly and clearly not all by Moyes. Kudus at least we made SOME money on and in retrospect it doesn't look a TERRIBLE deal now even though it seemed bad business at the time. Alvarez and JWP for one reason or another both turned out to be expensive disasters and huge wastes of money. Mav is just bang average and should be no more than a sub.
To not absolve Moyes though, JWP was clearly his choice even if none of the others were, and it was a shit, short termist one. If Stiedten got Kudus, then he's the only one to come out with even a crumb of credit.

 

We made a transfer profit though, Appreciate most of that was Rice, he should have been backed, big.

Sp*rs sacked ange days after winning the euro Cup and giving them champions league and that never gets mentioned

As I get bored of explaining to outsiders he lost 20 of 38 in his second last season & conceded 74 goals with 30% possession in his last 
0-6 v Arsenal 
0-5 v Chelsea & Fulham
2-5 v Palace etc etc

As said the problem wasn’t him going it was Sullivan appointing 3 abysmal managers to follow him
