    There will be no decent rebuild until after the Chinese runt has gone. Haven’t we just so much to thank China for……..?

    The departure of the latter is a positive move and undoubtedly a major rebuild is necessary.
    Lai’s expected profit is now replaced by damage mitigation in an endeavour to recoup as much of his initial investment as possible. Potential buyers are now scarce!
    It is indeed a mess, but I would prefer the rebuild to be without Dowling.

    Why are Large companies successful like Dyson and even Virgin to a degree! There’s a connection between the owner - staff and it’s customers!

    Lai has not even been near our ground in over 2 years which is a disgrace. Whilst I did not like Dowling, an owner should not undermine his own Board with a decision. Especially when the owner knows nothing of footballing matters and the appointment of Wilder was wanted by the majority of the fan base!

    The club has turned into a laughing stock Prando and within the next two weeks it will become clear of Lai’s intentions. If things go any worse - the worst thing for supporters to do is buy season tickets.

    I know for a fact ( connections in Bolton ) that Fat Sam would have stayed if the deal was right and he had been given a reasonable budget for player recruitment. Fat Sam did not want to leave!

    Same with Wagner - yes he was playing us off with the other team but everyone does that with interviews. You go with the best offer and prospects! Why would Wagner have wasted his own time!

    I honestly thing things will get worse before they get better! What’s Derek Mcinnes going to do with a slim budget - he does not carry a magic wand. I didn’t want Appleton but hey - the guys not stupid distancing himself from the club.

    Mutual consent - Dowling would have been paid a great pay off to keep his mouth shut with a gagging order. I signed one of these before and believe me - you have to hand back every penny if you breathe a word!

    Lai was ripped off by Peace when China had this beautiful idea to invest in football. Lai wants his money back and quickly believe me.

    Personably if I was Lai to get out of the mess - I would offer Fat Sam what he’s worth and he would return for sure or go begging to Wilder. That means investment though so he won’t!

    Perhaps Lai should look at Sunderland who are a bigger club than us and see their fall from grace!

    He wouldn't know who Sunderland are or anything about their history. He wouldn't even know where Sunderland is!
