I think we established long ago that 'red or dead' was a load of bollox. Tan said it himself at the time in all fairness and it's been proven since. It was others around the club and some fans who kept perpetuating it.
Fans who protested in any way didn't want the club to go under, they wanted him to change course. I really like the way things have been managed over the last couple of seasons and it's a real shame this approach wasn't adopted a few seasons back. But it's now time to move on for me in the hope lessons have been learned. With this in mind I do wish he would shut up about Mackay and just get on with doing whatever he thinks he needs to do there.
