Funny* isn't it that in 18 months time, we'll all probably be quite happy with a relegation from L1 and a 14th place finish in L2 because it means we will still have a club.

It will be relief at the spiral ending more than anything. But if we continue as a mid table L2 team for more than a couple of years, dissatisfaction will grow quickly.

It's death by a thousand cuts. If I'm honest, I just want it all to be over and done with regardless of the outcome.

Yeah I agree with that, I think fans will soon get fed up of being in L2.

Actually just wish there was a way the fans or supporters club or some other organisation could force the club into administration to force Dai's hand. Radical but better than waiting while he turns down every offer he might get in the mean time and still have the FL making things a whole heap worse.

I'm struggling to understand the 4D chess Dai is playing. Because he really can't be such a fcuking moron to want to degrade his asset to the point where walking away from it makes sense.

It's like putting your car up for sale and then torching it.

That's what I think. Surely you can't be daft enough to unrealistically expect £70-80m for the club that is closer to being worth nothing, especially when there is a threat of administration/liquidation.

I agree, but it almost feels like he wants to destroy us at any cost. Maybe he won’t be happy until we’re liquidated.

Kieran Mcguire said that bad football owners are typically either idiots or scumbags and he thinks that Dai falls into the former camp.

Maybe he just got lucky with his fortune in China and is genuinely a moron.

Wasn't Dai's father a key figure at the Central Bank.

I seem to remember that the BBC article on Dai by a Chinese journalist a month or so ago said that he built shopping malls underground as building in underground shelters was tax free. He obviously doesn't like paying the Chinese taxman either.

No, only the Directors or charge holders can put a company into Administration.
