I think people not turning up are playing right into DEB and his new board's hands. The idea is to sweep the whole thing clean, if they don't turn up they offer the new CEO a chance to institute retrenchments. Fire a whole lot, hire a few new, therefore less money required to run the admin side. From wherever they will be getting money (I'm assuming they've already lined up something at least) they will then run domestic fixtures - this then buys them support from those previously marginalised FC players. I don't know what the plan is to deal with Mukuhlani and ICC but whatever it is, the idea is to neutralise his operational leverage. That's what I'm guessing.brmtaylor.com admin wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 3:49 pm
I think you're right TapsC, they aren't winning the PR war. There's been a few own goals. By making this very grand and public announcement on the radio, online, etc about "turn up for work on August 1"... well if nobody turns up the interim board will look very weak and powerless. So I think they do need to have a certain number of people show otherwise they are a king without a country.
A high stakes game of chicken. They seem not to be concerned or competent at the PR game. Can they win without it? My inclination is that they want to gut the operations of the previous regime but at the same time offer a deal to the suspended board: "You guys can come back, with your benefits intact, but we will run the show on the ground". Basically paying them off. Power or money, what does Mukuhlani want?
