Can't see why anyone would think Tan wants out. What he craves is success to mirror his business interests in SE Asia. He obviously has the acumen to achieve it, but not the knowledge of this sector in which he's invested so heavily.
I very much doubt he'll cut and run despite the tone of his interview rhetoric. He'll push, push and push again not to be seen as having failed - in his culture, that's probably a far bigger fear than actual failure itself.
He may seem to be blaming others for our present position, but if you read between the lines, he's actually admitting that he considers it to have been his own mistake and has set about putting it right.
No Tan arse licking for me neither, I just saw him as a necessary provider of funds to bail us out 3 years back when we'd been actually on our arses for 5 years with Ridsdale fire fighting the Revenue et al. We are in the Prem right now and may well be back in the Champ next season - I'll take that any day as opposed to the alternative option before he arrived.
I consider Tan to be a transient owner who will be gone one day, but not before he pushes this club toward becoming an established Premier League side. He has the money and will spend it to achieve success. That's all he wants and at the moment, we as supporters are irrelevant in all this. He will do it his way like it or lump it - that's the way it is.
