There’s so much to this than simply Tan isn’t backing BBM. BBM has laid out exactly what he wants what his squad. Not too bloated because he doesn’t want players not playing.
Do we really think BBM would take not say if he wasn’t being backed? What are the ramifications if he did say that? He gets sacked and walks into pretty much any job he wants in the top / middle of the championship or anywhere league one.
THIS IS NOT ME BEING A TAN SUPPORTER IT’S JUST HAVING AN OBJECTIVE VIEW TO WHAT IS HAPPENING.
The same ones who keep on about this are the same ones who called BBM Tinker man and said we could slip to mid table.
Now if we go up and we don’t sign players that’s a totally different matter.

He has presumably understood the situation when he agreed to join us.All managers want more players and make requests to the board/owner.BBM is diplomatic but I think if he did criticise the owner for not giving money for players then Tan would be foolish to sack him given the position we are in.All the fans would be up in arms.

The Tan supporters think it's a cunning plan for the future. Tan wants out for as much money as he can get, he doesn't give a toss about what happens to the club since the red shirt uprising. BBM is a bonus for us at the moment and I hope a new owner comes in and keeps hold of him. That opportunity will not be there for long and with the championship on the horizon, what's the plan? Straight back down with no investment, which has happened on multiple occasions. Decisions this year could be pivotal for the future of the club.
