Can't help feeling Sellars is something of a fall guy for Jeff Shi's failings. Problem is we'll never know exactly how the decision making structure operated and quite what he can be blamed for. Certainly not the ridiculous idea that it was him secretly calling the shots behind Steve Davis' back. In his interview Saiss suggested that Sellars didn't want him to go and that it was Shi effectively forcing him out. If he was merely the one who implemented decisions Shi made then he's tarred by association I suppose. It does appear to let Jeff off the hook though.
So he’s Kwarteng and Shi is Truss?
 
Every "great" leader needs a fall guy. Can`t see the Chinese ever getting rid of one of their own.
Yeh Brexit is so yesterday, lets start Chexit !! Chinese out Chinese out (but obviously not your money)
 
Beastie boys for the soundtrack to it, “ch ch ch ch chexit out, wh wh wh wh what’s it all about? “
 
Mine too. A bloke with no redeeming features whatsoever.
Looking at his job from Jeff's view he has actually done some good things. The deal with Castore probably his best moment.

Looking at his job from a fans POV...he is fookin awful. His comms dreadful and his reasoning behind things such as ticket increases a bit pathetic BUT whilst the majority on here were fuming at him, out in the wider world the reaction was mainly positive (no clue why...oh I'm skint but you want to charge me more to watch, go on then Vin)

I think he is safe for now and to be honest, I would prefer if Jeff concentrated on sorting out the mess he created on the pitch. It has felt like since Covid the playing bit has been ignored and treated as "well that's sorted, put that to the side for now".
The actions of the last few weeks are hopefully showing a realisation that no matter how important he feels things like the brand and expanding that are, it should always be whats on the pitch is number 1 priority. That fails and everything else fails.
If he has finally got that and put the trust in people who know what they are doing, then move on to doing the same with the non footballing team.

My belief is Jeff is on a final chance with this job with Fosun watching carefully. His way has failed, is he big enough to accept it and move forward. Early signs are positive but hopefully not done too late to save shit this season.
 
Hadn’t thought of Jeff being on a shorter leash, perhaps it’s along the lines of we’ve wanted julen from day one, he’s here now, use his knowledge and do whatever he says, mess it up now and you’ll be on a plane home

Good post......would you be interested in the FIFA presidents job?
 
Am I the only who is a smidge uncomfortable with how often Shi's ethnicity is being brought up?

The Chinese aren't the only people in the world who circle the wagons and protect their own first...

Not noticed it's bought up that much on here tbh.

I've bought it up as I think to understand decisions it helps to understand Chinese business.

If you've ever worked with any Chinese companies you'd know how valuable the Chinese hold face as a fundamental in their culture.
 
Fabio went off injured after 6 minutes for U21s. Photo shows him in tears so assuming something that will keep him out a while.
