Certainly ‘face’ is very important in Chinese culture. But then one would’ve thought standing by and allowing the club to be relegated without so much as a whimper would be still worse face?

Squad full of journeymen, crocks, and Academy also-rans (Lemina possibly excepted, but jury is still out). Shyte manager. No sense of direction to the club. The buzz stopped the day Koeman left.
Only bit I’d question is your refusal to brook dissent regarding Kat. I do not buy the notion that she is a demigod whose stewardship cannot be questioned. Only Marcus has that saintly position in my eyes. Kat behaved like a new widow who felt obliged to do the decent thing for about 18 months, before running off with the long standing fancy-man.
It seems a bit far fetched that the club is being deliberately crashed into the championship as part of a giant betting scam or some other dastardly plan. For a start it would need the complicit cooperation of the squad of players which seems extremely unlikely.

I would have certainly expected relegation clauses to be templated into the skeleton contract that is used for all signings and subsequently fleshed out in bespoke form.
Whatever the motives or incompetence behind this implosion, it will certainly be on the academic syllabuses of university degree courses in years to come.
