It's the 'treading water' bit with me - Tan et al just going through the motions. Choo and Dalman have no real affinity to the club, nor has Tan now, they seem almost embarrassed by it. The Sala accident has been a personal tragedy and a business one, but the club can't move on until it's resolved. at the moment I think Tan sees this as his over-riding project, not the club, and whilst would wish the club to be a Championship club when he sells, it probably doesn't bother him as much as cutting costs.
Good post. Tan is acting like someone who isn't bothered about relegation, but I don't get that - the amount he gets for the club if he sells has to be reduced pretty dramatically if we're in League One.
