Moyes: "January not an easy month to purchase in. We have a good squad."

your post is an admission of your own poor comprehension

fair play to you, i suppose

A few months until the end of the transfer window would have made all the difference. Biggest £#%&! up the club made. Far worse than anything moyes has done.

If we don't sign one or two genuinely top quality players in this window we are £#%&!ed. It's our last window of opportunity before the rest of Europe realises we have utterly shot our bolt.

We might not have the money of Chelsea and city but we pay the next top wages, he does have 40 million a season to spend and some players to sell. The squad did win the league last year .

Does the manager not have any responsibility? Telling me Jose with the same terms is seeing us in 9th and talking about possibility and trying hard?

Nice guy - out of depth .

This- moyes last chance.

Anyone like Jose, Pep etc would not touch the job under those conditions and Moysie'd be cheaper too

Just a theory

But if we don't qualify for the Champions league, will we be able to pay off the debt?

Disagree.

If we do end up midtable then the manager will go, as will woodward and theyll get in someone big who can attract players.

Moyes and woodward can't destroy our club in a single season, as much as they are trying to.

They'll be able to continue paying the interest payments which should be about £20m a year from now on I think. They're going to have to refinance the current debt in a couple of years anyway. Lack of on field success may mean they don't get as good a deal as they would have before but they'll find someone to lend it to them.

All of this is happening in the middle of the kit deal talks.

Nike must be asking questions. They're not going to want to spend a billion on a mid table team.

Make or break, we have to sign someone.

I'm sure they will but it's still worthy of a
