Whats wrong with May through July?

I can't believe that some people still think we will stay up under Hyypia because" the squad is to good yo be relegated"! He has shown absolutely no understanding of how to pick a team to win games in this division and his tactics have failed week after week, I honestly don't feel that allowing him to bring in another bunch of new players will change anything. We will get the same tactics and the same post-game excuses along the lines of " we were unlucky"! He and Jones should have been gone weeks ago with the suits doing something they will never do and admitting they got it wrong.
"OK, we are third bottom but does anyone seriously think that we will be relegated? I seem to remember a few years back Watford or someone got into the playoffs from the position we are in."
Just checked Palace were third from bottom at Xmas 2003, but got promoted through the play-offs with an astonishing late run. Mind you they did have Andy Johnson at the top of his form, before injury, knocking 'em in for fun that season. And Ian Dowie as manager... whatever happened to HIM?

A few months back no, I knew results weren't good but I could see enough in the performances to suggest a bit more settling in for everyone (new manager and large changes to squad) and we'd be mid table and fine.
BUT the last month or so has been clear the players have lost belief in him and performances are worsening. Hyypia may well still keep us up, but the chances of that are diminishing every week and I really do think we will be League 1 if things don't change. We need the right man in too, it's not a case of just getting rid of Sami and all being rosy.
I think TB would have to spend at least 6 months in Oz to maintain residency. May to July might be half of that, but he would have to go back sometime during the footie season. And usually the play-offs go well into May.
Max 180 days in the UK as well probably........

Don't you just love the wealthy being able to dodge taxes….
Yes. Definitely. Doesn't mean he doesn't care about the club, but what he has invested in the club is a very, very small percentage of his overall wealth.

It probably is, and whatever it is, it doesn't excuse what are no doubt unsavoury yet legal tax arrangements.

There is obviously a plan............................don't know what it is, but there obviously is one................................obviously!
Perhaps he wants to wait until Hyypia is so sick of it that he walks, rather than having to pay him off as part of the whole "mutual consent" bit.

I worked for a chap who was wealthy but not as per TB who spent 1 month in Uk, I month in Gozo then 1 month in Ireland then back to Uk. Didnt pay tax anywhere I dont think. He got done on DD and then obtained a licence in Gozo and drove in the UK on an international licence all perfectly legal.

Well, it'll be interesting to see if they still have the gall to 'market' stuff at us all the time after this unbelievable decision......
I think we all know the answer to that

Which could (& already has to a certain extent) damage the club's ability to ever challenge for the Premiership, stay in the Championship & even get out of League one. We can't buy a win & are haemorrhaging support. Which doesn't seem like much of a business plan

I didn't say I thought it was a good plan. Just looking for a reason why we are waiting to act when it seems so obvious we should act, and act now (or some weeks ago, actually).

we need to act now or otherwise by the time we do it will be too late to save us from going down

Yeah, I realised that!
I fear you may be right. I don't believe there is a good reason & think the one you suggested may be part of their thinking, although thoroughly misguided.
I don't think there's a clever plan we're missing, just no clear plan at all. I hope I'm wrong

Gut feeling. It will happen tonight.
