Imagine this scenario...

Re: Imagine this scenario...

It smacks of desperation and a total lack of ambition.

In my opinion, a significant percentage of the club's fanbase are suffering from Stockholm syndrome under Tan's ownership. They're now happy to accept any old rubbish on the principle that 'it could be worse'. Ambition has exited stage left. It's all about treading water and being thankful for the smallest of mercies.

Completely agree. It's the same on the playing side, although understandable. A little bit of creativity is spoken about on here like a miracle has just been witnessed, standard stuff as well, that wouldn't have even got a mention a few years back. It really is desperate.

I can't uptick this comment enough. It's spot on. Tan's a mare. Been focused on 'legal matters' since the Sala tragedy. I think this thread and your take on the situation is much needed. Club has no ambition. Treading water is a perfect description.

True.

Even if riza goes on to manage real madrid twice after us the board still shouldnt get any credit for appointing him.

They may well get lucky on a hudson or morison or riza. Law of averages they probably will one day at some point. But thats all it will be- luck.
