He also put the club at real risk of being relegated after the tragedy by not clearing this up sooner and you would have thought that the most important thing of all was to stay in the PL. He did not ensure that happened.

This next bit is going to sound heartless but why pay Sala's family £2M out of club funds? Or are you saying Tan should pay it? Another reason for ensuring we stayed in the PL. He'd have a lot more money at his disposal if we were still in it (like Wolves). We all knew we were in real jeopardy of being relegated before a ball was kicked so why didn't Tan and the board?

There's a lot that just doesn't add up unless you conclude he's not interested and doesn't care? His actions and that of the board's suggest we are treading water until the next boss.
Are we allowed to do this?
I thought it was said yonks ago that we had to leave the insurance deal with it.
Some things don't look the best publicly but sometimes it's not all down to public relations, if we have our hands tied with the insurance there isn't much we can do?

I say all that on the basis that the comment I read was indeed accurate...
