It's getting to the point where you begin to wonder whether Tan's doing it just to mess with them out of spite after all the stick he's taken. Put millions in, given them their highest two league seasons in most people's lifetimes and still loathed by the few who bother to turn up. I wouldn't put it past him to cut expenses to the point where the club is at least no longer costing him money and then just let them wither on the vine.
If that happened to any other club I might have been tempted to feel sorry for them.
