Radz reaches agreement on Sampdoria

[WTF11]

If he did offer the ground as collateral for a loan to buy Sampdoria then not only was that incredibly ill advised without apparently informing the 49ers (who are shareholders in the company that owns the ground), it is possibly in breach of any shareholders agreement between them but more importantly means his time is almost certainly done and made his position fairly untenable.

I don’t want him to stay as I want to see what the 49ers can do when in full control but I don’t see how anyone can say we are in a worse position that when he took over.

We didn’t look even close to promotion, we still didn’t fully own the ground, the training facilities were in disrepair, the pitches were rubbish. We might not rate the current squad in premier league terms or some of the signings but don’t see how on a player by player assessment it is not better than the squad we had when he took over - ditto rhe youth/reserve set up.

The squad he inherited was

Lassoga
Roberts
Grot
Antonsson
Ekuban

I've desisted replying directly to any of your more recent posts, but the sheer incompetence of that list of names deserves a response;

Radrizzani arrived in January 2017 taking 50%, May 2017 he acquired the remaining 50%, of the names below, only those WITHOUT a start date were at the club when Radrizzani took control (not just the 50% in January 2017), apart from one or two loanees, who obviously must have impressed (with varying outcomes (Jansson, Sacko as opposite ends of that spectrum!)

You must remember the "supermarket sweep" days of our dear departed DoF who joined us in May 2017, once the takeover from Cellino was complete?

They both share responsibility for the sh1tstorm of crap they foisted on the club (then and since). I'll resume by purdah where your posts are concerned, given I can guess how you will respond, but do at least try to do some fact checking next time (took me about 20 minutes to gather all the above!).
