Seeing as there are people waiting in the wings who are prepared to make that a reality, surely the article should have been calling for SISU to step aside, cut their losses and admit they have failed. The fact that this point was not made does make you question the motives of the person writing it.
But surely this is at the heart of the whole issue. SISU haven't reached the point of cutting their losses and leaving. They obviously (to me, anyway) still see a way of working their way out of the financial situation (which I believe is how they are looking at it - not at all as a football thing, but as a series of business transactions, a bit like the companies who are prepared to buy whole streets in order to get their hands on one particular property that they really want, then sell off the rest afterwards).
It's only a guess, but I would think that they are prepared to weather the hurricane of protest being kicked up by the fans because they have a plan that they believe will turn things round in the longer term, regardless of how unpopular that may be, and that will benefit SISU finances and investors first, but will also benefit the club as well as realistically, one can't succeed without the other. They also, between the mystifying myriad of companies, seem to be able to finance the plans (this isn't a cue to raise the point of not paying rent for the Ricoh - that argument has been done to death from a debating point of view) far beyond most of our experience and understanding.
I'm torn on this whole issue because if you can possibly stand back and take the emotion and passion out of it I can see some sense and to have some light at the end of the tunnel after years (decades) in the pitch darkness that's quite something. Then again, how can you really take the emotion and passion out of football fans?? That's where the word fan comes from - 'fanatics'.
