Alternatively, that big pot of money from the Scott sale is being deliberately saved for the new guy - in which case we can upgrade significantly, both in terms of quality and numbers. All ifs and buts.
Keep it. There were other threads where people were making very damaging and sensitive comments about other managers health and well being and no one was bothered - now you dare say something about this people up in arms - pathetic.
Alternatively they have already lined someone up, got rid of the CEO to soon replace them with someone who has worked closely with the new manager…..who knows.
