If Not BB, Who?

It's interesting speculating on the dynamics. My feeling is that Silvagni convinced (maybe browbeat) the Judge about the correct path, then both of them ganged up on Mathieson and forced / convinced him that he needs to be on board as well. Of course, it's pure guesswork on my part.

Of course we're only guessing but....
We'd have to know the dynamics of the Silvagni appointment to determine his influence
When was he approached?
What were his demands if he took up the position?

He was appointed in December 2014....but there was already moves towards a rebuild in April of that year.

Someone will write a book about what actually went on and some of the agendas in play during the 2014-15 years someday.
It will be a fascinating read.
