Maybe, wouldn't surprise me but more likely fed up of paying every month to keep us afloat.
Or getting the monthly outgoings down for someone else. No idea why but I get this feeling Dallas will be our next owner.

What doesn't make sense is why he didn't get the right manager e.g. Pulis, who could forge a team from the talent in the squad. Add 4 or 5 quality signings, ship out 10 or 12, and we could have been right up there.

He got rid of 12m expenses which maybe used to invest in player's next season! Makes economic sense for him! As he wont increase clubs debt?

I can't see him getting rid of £12m annual costs simply to go and spend it again. He had 2 choices - speculate to accumulate and push on and go for promotion from where he could recoup his money, or give up and cash in what he can. He went for thr latter. It's a low risk strategy in theory but he probably didn't predict the fans reaction and lack of support. Slade is a cheap option to assemble a cheap squad with the big hope that he can work wonders on a limited budget. It won't happen IMO and very unlikely to work in the championship.

A clear deck for a few push isn't unreadable, a new manager to come in and spend and not have to sell is ideal.
