I agree with most of what is said in this thread, although I am not so sure SP needed
to absolutley consult TO before he got rid of Frank. I am not disputing what TO has
done for the program or anything. That speaks for itself. However, he did retire from
the game and he should not have a huge say in how the program is run now. If he
wants that, he shouldn't have retired. Granted, I would have probably asked him
for some advice if I was SP, but I wouldn't just do whatever he said because he is
TO. Then he really isn't doing his job and just doing what he is told. He was hired
to do a job and that's what he is doing. That's all I'll say about that because I would
just end up diving into all that again
I believe he had to say something because of his name being put on the new complex.
As typical, there were a lot of rumors flying around and needed to be addressed.
If that weren't an issue, I wouldn't have expected him to hold a press conference
about what he thought. He would have done that a lot sooner if that was the case, but
I think he knows that he isn't in direct control of the program anymore and respects
that. He was in a position to pull his name and support from the new project and
that was it. He explained his decision and why he made it based on the events of the
last couple months and that's it.
