And it doesn't make sense to me that Mestrov would keep leaking to the press and risk derailing the season. It's still his job for the team to do well or HE'LL be out the door.Possible.
But if so it would be extremely petty of DCE. Everyone knows Mestrov was tasked by Penn to sack Des. Any CEO who refused wouldn't be CEO for much longer
I'm with @Chunkytuna - I wish they would all just shut up and get on with the season.
