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.
Interesting point. Didn't Dalman claim last season that we could finish in the top 6? Whether that was also the words of Vincent Tan, who knows, but if the chair and owner thought the playing personnel of last season was much better than a 21st place finish, they're a pair of imbeciles.
