Moores - he still the right man?
Posted: Sat May 22, 2004 11:11 amI have often wondered whether our decline since 1990 + Moores's appointment in 1991 was merely coincidence.
Certainly key events like Heysel, Hillsboorough and it's affect on Dalglish, Souness's appointment etc predated time as Chairman. But subsequently he is open to a number of criticisms :
- failure to face up the Souness's issue
- incompetent development of commercial interests so that we are now in desperate catch up mode.
- decline on the field
- stadium capacity resolution is a least 5 years too late
- self interest in protecting his majority shareholding stake, until near panic measures are required.
- the current managerial PR shamble which could be quashed by strong board leadership
On the other hand no more doubts his genuine love for the club, we are reasonably well run financially + he fully supports his managers - even in this age where instant success is expected. Nevertheless we are at a crossroads I feel both on + off the field.
Is he right/best man to remain in charge of the club - what do you all think, lads?
