The issue is the arrogance of the owner and his belief he knows best. Can you imagine comparable teams like Brighton, Brentford or Crystal Palace being run part-time by a Chief Executive with no knowledge of football and a Chairman living abroad who at one time was more involved in planning the takeover of Charlton Athletic than running our club. Incredibly that duo along with the owner constitute the club’s transfer committee!

The structure at the football club is a shambles, there are amateur football clubs with more football knowledge on the board. Of all the disastrous decisions they’ve taken the failure to sack serial Premier League failure Warnock in May 2019 ranks as the worst and many of the club’s problems can be traced back to this.

Until such time as Tan accepts he doesn’t know what he’s doing and listens to football people who actually do then the club will continue its alarming rate of decline.
