1. Drop the Sala stuff, it was just a tragic accident and he should have been insured that's on Choo/Dalman
2. Give the manager a half decent budget. I don't think it's sensible to break the bank and we have a good young team but give BBM whatever he needs
3. I think he'd get a lot of credit if he changed the badge back to either just a Bluebird or the old crest, it's stupid we aren't Malaysian so why have we got a Malaysian dragon

I see your points but let’s get it right that Sala wasn’t a ‘tragic accident’, it was a planned flight arranged by a banned and nefarious individual and his family, which resulted in an unqualified pilot flying a dodgy plane at night with ‘warning signs’ before they even took off!
I have no real view on whether Tan should/should not pursue his claim further, as it’s not my money he’s spending to do it and I don’t think it would be diverted to the transfer coffers otherwise
It was so easily avoided though, and if the only positive outcome is that future situations are dealt with more professionally, it will be something!
