You may be correct. However, Tan is something of an imponderable. He didn’t sack Morison or Hudson over money. My belief is that, like the two managers who went before him, Lamouchi was binned because the team’s performances didn’t match Tan’s expectations while under his guidance.

Whether those expectations were realistic or not is open to debate, but I think that’s what’s happened. I reckon Tan believed Lamouchi would do better than he actually did, and therefore called it a day. There’s every chance I’m wrong and it was down to money, but that’s my gut feeling.
