I’ve speculated before whether Fosun are trying to hang in the PL as long as possible whilst spending the bare minimum but accepting that relegation is inevitable, at which point they sell all remaining players worth more than a few bob and that way recoup their investment without having to worry about selling the club. Obviously they’d get something for it but selling RAN, Cunha, Gomes and a few others would recoup a good proportion of their £250m.
See I don't think it's even this. They have put too much into their other branding avenues and whatnot to just suddenly not have the team or the link between all that, also when relegation did look a concern suddenly they found signings. I do think it's just some sort of misguided idea of being different to the other teams.
