Yeah but why wait until last possible minute. Whu not release it on Sat morning. This seems deliberate to me and to try and embarrass Gus. All it haz done iz pug the club in a bad light.
I don't know about the TV stuff, but I assumed the timing was at the last possible minute before today, when the players return, as they would have to be told something. But it's also my assumption (guess) that the interim could be appointed today too - there is no way they would announce GP going and the new man coming in on the same day.
