RE:RE:RE:RE:Drama in the boardroom??? Gassing him now, or 2 months from now, or 6 months ago, would not change any risk you perceive. So again I'll say why keep sending him out to the mound? We know he's going to float a batting practice speed pitch in there to get pounded out of the park, or walk in the bases loaded. There's not even a chance of entertainment from beaning the batter with some high heat, or nailing the mascot with a wild pitch (bull Durham style). I see zero reason to keep him. I conclude his contract must NOT be about to expire. Oooooh, now watch heads explode like another classic movie, kingsman, the secret service. P.s. risk of "BB goes in the toilet" ???? Isn't BB there already?
The only other plausible explanation for not just paying him out is the real possibility there is a bid being negotiated. It doesn't make a lot of sense to pull the washed up pitcher, replace him with a superstar, and then turn the lights out. In hindsight, the board should have replaced him with caretaker, temporary, CEO, like one of Prem's henchmen, months ago. Or now. Better late than never.
