Positives and negatives to this.
Firstly, we aren't in the hands of someone who potentially doesn't have the clubs best interests at heart. We also know we are safe financially under JP and we can now go ahead with a 'business-as-usual' approach and hopefully sign the players we are lacking.
On the flip side, we all know JP wants out and a takeover inevitably needs to happen at some point (is is heart still 100% in it?). We will also remain as a club with one of the weakest transfer budgets in the league for the forseeable which means we will have to continue punching above our financial weight and it will be frustrating to see us continue scraping the barrel in comparison to other clubs our size.
We will always be wondering what might have been, did JP save us from a potential 'Vincent Tan mark II'? Or was it simply they didn't offer him enough money? We will probably never know.
