I don't think anyone, certainly not me, would disagree with you. But giving out that contract is water under the bridge at this point. Now we are dealing with realities of a big buyout that from what we read here is a problem for finding the sources of money to do it. We can fire Rhoades, but we still have the same problem, unless firing Rhoades would make some donors happy. No way to know that. But if we can't come up with the needed money from some source, if money is the problem, we are stuck regardless of how we feel about the situation.Robert Wilson said:
If we can't afford to fire him, Rhoads made a huge mistake in negotiating that contract. Leaving us in such an untenable position is enough reason for him to go.
The irony, if that is the right word, is that most posters here were relieved and elated when that contract extension was offered and signed to keep Aranda here amid all the fretting that he was going to move on to bigger gigs. That doesn't change the situation we are in now if a mistake was not thinking about the possibilities of needing an early exit situation, but we really don't know the details, at least I don't. We posters have the luxury of flipping our stance when our money is not involved.
