I know. And it was terrible with someone claiming their twins had bern traumatised and couldn't sleep.
Early in his tenure Mr Tan messed up in a huge way, red kit for the historical blue, dragons for bluebirds, only hooligan fans against him etc ...... as you say, look at him now. I bet no-one tells him how to run his business either!
Sadly it did. It's a shame that some people are incapable of behaving in an appropriate manner, and spoil it for those who do.
Maybe your kids would be traumatised by people celtebrating on the pitch. The normal children of normal people wouldn't.
I note Tan was actually chaired onto and around the pitch by his hired muscle - not the ecstatic fans. A minor difference but still one that needed mentioning. Seems Warno was recommended by Sam 'Wimbledon' Hamman, so just like the Allams he's got lucky on someone else's decisions. Not sure if Tan will ever understand owt about how to run a football club, or just alternate between bad decisions and luck like the Allams did. However at least he had the nous or lack of monstrous ego to change a bad call re the red shirts. We should be so lucky, instead of these malevolent bunglers who have hijacked our club.
The one thing Tan has got right is to employ an experienced businessman to be his chairman, and an experienced CEO to be his CEO. And he delegates to those experts. A concept that I doubt Ehab Allam could even grasp, let alone put in place.
The Allams don't trust anyone from the 'football world' - they believe hey are all corrupt, hence they do it all themselves. Hence why we are going to Hell in a handcart.
Nice to hear an owner admit he was wrong, not a hope in hell of the Allam's coming out and admitting it.
I just wish people did it more in football, we all make mistakes and get things wrong (I do it on here weekly) it takes a bigger man to admit when he was wrong. After watching that the owner gained a lot more respect from me.
I fully agree, this is something the Allam's have never learnt, that admitting a mistake is not a face losing situation if it is done in the right way. Unfortunately in Egypt face saving is all important, and it seems the old man has passed this trait onto his son.
You are right, I have spent a fair amount of time doing business over the years in Middle East countries, particularly Egypt, so know this trait well. This is something that worried me from day one of the Allam's reign, I always felt it would feature somewhere in their saga.
