Today is the first day I reckon we're down.
Despite my negativity around the ownership and manager, I genuinely felt that:
A. our squad is better than bottom 3 and,
B. if things were bad, FOSUN would just drop the cash like they did for Lopetegui.
But todays performance was a club giving up, even the fans couldn't be arsed to boo.
Jeffs comments make it clear we will not be moving oneil on because we won't be making significant funds available which scares all good managers away.
Survival now depends on FOSUN's willingness to change their strategy, if they don't fund us we are gone.
Gary should be gone tonight, we all know it. The way the players are lashing out (lemina last week, RAN this week), the players know its a sinking ship and they're falling apart. What is happening at in the board meetings? The leadership aren't stupid they must know we're fucked, what is their strategy?
My suspicion is that its above Jeff's head. He can't speak out because its his bosses, but I reckon the true top dogs in FOSUN have pulled the funding and they're so removed from the club that don't understand the consequences
Edit: Not that I have any sympathy for Jeff. Just saying he's a puppet.
