Tan is not a football person, but I wonder if he lets people in his many other business ventures have such a free rein with that much cash? I very much doubt it.

Just weird.
Tan's problem seems to be he expected managers to act rationally and not like kids in sweetie stores. Naive, even. Taken their views on players on trust. Managers have always been backed by him in the transfer market and I don't think it's in question some have taken advantage.

Seems he's now learnt that lesson the hard way.
