Pardon me for being just a mere ops manager, but basic language interpretation does suggest that "land as soon as possible" is not "land immediately". It implies land as soon as what needs to be sorted in order to land SAFELY. Personally, if I was SLF on that flight, crew taking the time to sort things out on a heavy aeroplane with one out rather than rushing into an ill judged approach would get my vote anyday.
SAFE SAFE SAFE not TIME TIME TIME
