He's probably still only involved because he's connected with the club due to the money he's lent us.
He's the only one of the three who knows anything about football business.
He probably can't believe the decisions Tan is making as much as us.
I know he gives politician style answers but of the three, he's the most sensible.
I'm not saying he's a football genius, but at least he knows a little bit.
But unfortunately nothing happens at this club without Tan saying so, it's a flawed structure and one of the biggest problems in the way it's run.

That loan of £30m I would guess is secured. That being he will get it back unless Tan puts us into administration. Prime example if Tan sells he will have to pay back Dalman.
I just feel this is in Dalmans plan to take over the club. However something tells me Tan is expecting this from Dalman and being the stubbotn person he is he will continue holding the club up regardless. This is why I don't think he is worried about us getting relegated because it means the operating costs will be lower for him. Someone said earlier he will lose out on more sponsorship but I really don't think that bothers him.

How rich do you need to be to not worry about money, even with a lavish lifestyle $100m?
On whatever assessment of wealth he has, it is multiples of that, so losing $30 million is just an accounting procedure. It hurts his pride it may also offset profits in other areas.
Dalmans' involvement fries my brain. He is rich by working-class standards, so he doesn't lose money for the thrill of it like a bored (former) billionaire. If he's in for £30 million, then it must be backed up, so in essence owns a third of the club now, but with no say.
No one has ever explained why he sunk money in.
