All part of Corney's plan this.
Abdallah is the penniless fall guy puppet. Bought in by Corney to fail miserably whilst he's still pulling the strings.
Corney comes back in on a white horse. Wages get a paid on time slightly more frequently and when we're still in League one in front of 2,000 fans, he'll be validated in telling us how well we've got it and how it could've been a lot worse.
Pretty shrewd to be fair.
