End of the road. Was shit mostly.
What idiot is going to buy us. The only way tan would leave is after stripping every single asset and even then he'd be about 80 mill out of pocket.
Tan is never going to make a profit on us.
That's his own problem. He needs to carry out his promise to make the club debt free then put the club up for sale. If he's looking to make a profit, then he's in the wrong business.
It's easy to pass on a substandard product on your customer when you don't even consume that product. He don't even go to games.
How do you become a millionaire?
Start off as a Billionaire then buy a football club !
I've also been watching the club for a long time and I'd agree that Mr Tan is the best chairman/ owner the club has ever had.
That's a fact and a certainty, and the moaning is very like the way the simpletons and children are attacking the new manager before he's done anything.
They seem to think that we've got the rescources of Chelsea or Man Utd and that competing at this level is the same as playing that computer game so many of them like
Come on now. Being the best dosent mean he isn’t shit. No one can deny he has done one terrible football decision after another. And after he abandoned the red he pretty much lost interest.
The worst part about him, and this is my issue with him, the paranoid old git. He fails to put the right football people in right positions. He is responsible for having a leach like Dalman running things and having Cho go arround buying and selling bagels.
It’s and absolute farse and the club is going nowhere.
Tan is coming up on 10 years at the club.

That's one bottom half season in the championship since he bought us and the season hasn't finished yet. You forget the position we were in and look at Bolton now.
People keep bringing up the issue of Tan making the club debt free but have no understanding of the FFP rules. It's not possible in a short period of time. The only way we might be able to do it would be by running the club more sensibly, appointing a manager like Harris and not throwing the kitchen sink at it like Fulham have. Then we could use some of the parachute money to pay off our debt.
Does anyone really know where we stand in terms of debts? I haven’t got a clue. All seems to be a bit ambiguous.
Plus , you also have to accept that despite things getting better on the pitch, Tan has shown great incompetence and disrespect. I’m over it, but I won’t be bought off. He has apologised and appears to be trying to make amends but I for one will hold off on celebrating the guy until he is no longer at the club and we get an idea of where we stand in terms of debt and a healthy football club , including an emphasis on youth and a general philosophy.
He’s done an ok job but who’s to say ten years in the championship and a couple in the prem couldn’t have been improved upon with better management at board level.
Lastly, if you want someone on Neil Harris wages, is Neil Harris really the best option?
I think Tans a good owner
I think Neil Harris is a decent manager for a smaller club trying to stay in the league
I am underwhelmed by his appointment
Just because people don’t agree with you COMPLETELY doesn’t make them simpletons, we all have views and they don’t all have to match.
**** me ive replied to a multi WUM account. The club must really be pissing me off.
If you are happy to accept we will always be a second tier (at best) club but with no major money worries to trouble us then I guess Tan is the man for you. I have no doubt he is an honourable man and I don't think he would ever abandon us to the fate that befell us under prior administrations.
However, I think by now it should be plain for all to see that he has limited ambition (and know-how) for any long term progression in the club's status. It seems that he is happy to accept unexpected positive outcomes (like the last promotion) but without planning or funding for it.
Yes his main concern might be to keep the club on an even keel but his price for that is that we shall forever be a club lacking the necessary funding and structure to compete at the highest level. I'm absolutely certain his strategy is to get the club into a saleable situation as soon as possible so that he can sever ties with a project which has not fulfilled his ambitions for it.
As ever, and understandably, as it's probably an issue of personalities, some will be grateful we still have a club at all and others will be forever disappointed because that most fundamental hope in football for bigger and better things has been taken away.
