Well it's over for at least 6 weeks until the new expectations start to creep in. My biggest concern is, and I know you can't believe anything that comes out of the media, but looking at championship players and free transfers it seems like Moyes has a new Bill Kenwright in this CEO if the Freidkins showed as much desire to go for top players like they are with Roma we would all be glad for the new season. But for them not to even put a armani shoe or two even at Goodison never mind Bramley Moor tells you a lot about there ambitions for us : ie keeping Moyes in the job but this newly assembled group of directors 3 from Leeds Utd who there fans couldn't wait to get out stinks again of jobs for the boys the Reds sacked Slott who by the way won the Premier League and finished fifth, and we keep boring arse after 2 13th places finishes.
There to me sums up the ambitions of both clubs one who will not accept mediocrity and the other who will.

New buzz word is "Stability".
Stability, the quality or state of being steady, secure, and resistant to sudden change.
Think it sums up the club quite well.

Two different things entirely mate. TFG gave DM two years to improve the squad and league position. He is half way through that remit. Slot won the league in his first year, spent over 400m on new players and watched his side plummet in their title defence. They finished 20 plus points worse off than the previous season. Some of that team didn't look as if they wanted to play for him, the writing was on the wall.
To compare the two is ridiculous really. Get rid of some of the crap we have in the squad, buy better quality players and keep adding each window without purchasing players of the ilk of Barry, and maybe we will start moving up the league. Until we sort the squad, we are incomparable to a team that we're defending their title, no matter how bad that defence turned out to be.

I wasn't comparing the teams, rather their owners. One set, who are regular attenders at home games and are owners who are regular attenders at Roma rather than on Merseyside as you stated, get rid of the crap and bring in quality players. Who are these players who would want to come to play for a manager with no forward thinking, the old players he surrounds himself with, out of form players getting a game week in, week out, and as I stated, one group of owners who won't accept mediocrity and the others who will, as long as we remain in the Premier League and bring them in millions.
I think that is their remit where we are concerned.
