Was Der Kaiser's Departure the Catalyst for this Fiasco?

[army88]

I'm assuming a "loss in confidence" by the largest investor is the reason for us jettisoning 2 dozen players.

If this is indeed the case was Der Kaiser's departure the catalyst?

This would make sense to me - pace and VK speak investor is pulling the money but we are trying to get another in place to nullify the fire sale.

Pace can’t secure someone to take the reigns / risk of the money black hole in time - VK realises and sends the feelers out and gets a good solid bite of interest the rest is a domino effect.
Some players only came for VK , contracts are on a halved wage if relegated
Pace can’t pick a manger that suits or offers the investors who are pulling the money now a big enough name / draw to convince them to stay on board and from here on in its history as we were looking for a brave investor and a manager knowing we had to sell to satisfy the debts.
