here's an idea, Tan gets his hand in his pocket and pays for the all the incompetencies while being the custodian on this famous institution?
So now it's apparent there is no benefit whatsoever to having a billionaire owner at the club, as we will be run like any other club that does not have any financial muscle. Moreover, all player sales will go towards paying him back. You just could never of imagined this scenario could you when billy big bucks 'saved' the club.
I'm not understanding the excitement in having a club budget that's within the clubs' income streams when there is a billionaire owner at the helm, what a disappointment.
Good day.

We had him doing that but the price was the rebrand. We wanted blue back ergo we aren't getting a billionaire subsidising us any longer.

that's an interesting angle, that kind of spitefulness I cannot rule out as being a legitimate reason why the change in direction was made mid-season. Getting the club back was the main priority though, wouldn't trade that for his money

I'm not saying Tan is being spiteful. If he was he could bankrupt us and close us and it wouldn't make a dent in his fortune. He is trying to make us self sufficient. Something I think is a good thing.

Very true Allan, I think I was pushing the boat out to use the term 'excited'![]()
